Talk about some serious hating, dont' listen to this idiot.
I think the rims look good, but why didn't you get the 9.5 out back to get that nice deep lip?

i dont like your logic. I think it gives the car a more aggresive look without overdoing it and making it look modded.

I did my mods with a certain philosophy kept in the back of my head. I wanted to build a z that looks like it could have come off the showroom floor and still have a unique look without overdoing anything. You could say my car still looks "stock" too but hardly a waste of money.

Everybody will tell you something different. Keep in mind that the only person that needs to be happy is you. You cant make everyone happy so it just might be yourself.

Now for the looks. Looks good, but you should get some coils or some eibach springs, they'll take care of that gap.

I agree with the above statement. With that said I don't like them, they don't seem to compliment the Z. But then again, I bet I have a totally different definition of great looking wheels. (I've got staggered 19/20" Axis 7 mods)

Long as you like it... to hell w/ what every1 else says.

i didn't go staggered because i will be rotating my tires to get the most mileage out of them, plus i personally don't like a huge lip in the back. also, the Tein S-tech springs are on the way, will drop it next week!

as for telling me its a waste of money, wow thanks!!

I agree it looks KINDA like stock. But it is FARRRRRRRRRRR from a waste of money in my opinion. the "stockish" look makes it clean, yet unique. I've always liked the theme of "appearing stock until looking closer". It's like seeing a "white" dude in a elementary school and think "oh he's just another elementary school teacher", until you take a closer look, then..."oh snap! It's michael jackson!" Ahh you get my point. But it's definitely meant to be in a positive way tho.

3 words come to mind when seeing your car skittlez..."clean", "unique", yet "humble".

why thank ya alex honestly the car looks different in person, but the pics give you a good idea. whether or not you like what i have done, you definately understand where i am coming from. i just wanted to do some subtle mods and try to keep my car clean. maybe if this wasn't my daily driver and more of a "toy" if you will or weekend warrior and i didn't drive it as much, i might go all out and make it a beast. but thanks again

Was there a sale on Hater-ade at the quickie mart or what?!? Ha ha ha...

Don't dis-respect the guy and tell him its a waste of money!

I think it looks clean... not everyone is into the staggered look or even chrome for that matter. I would've went staggered, but that's just me...

Post new pics after its lowered!

haha no prob bro. I really like the "subtle but different" look. Don't mind the haters. They will always be there. You have great taste for subtlety and I gotta give you props for that.

All you guys that are saying it looks stock must be smoking something. Look at the pics below of the same wheels on my car. No way in hell you can confuse those for stock factory wheels. SkiTTlez, ignore the haters.

thats cuz you have a dish...anyways I take back the waste of $$$ comment...I was just giving my opinion. I'm sure this guy is old enough to take constructive criticism. I just don't see a point in spending any money unless it will really change the look. Only my opinion though.
