These are INCREDIBLE as far as looks go. I'd like to get some more info on these wheels....ie. offsets, weights, etc?

(edit): I did a little more reasearch on this wheel and found out that the only fitments currently available are for Porsche and Ferrari only. I did however also find out that fitments for the Toyota Supra are in the works as well, so I believe it's only a matter of time before the Z fitments are ready too!

They run about $950-$1000 a wheel (19")

19x 8.5 front
19x10 rear

WOW!

Those wheels are very cool, but WAY too small. Too much tire takes away from the aapearance of the wheel....way too much sidewall here.

I take it you haven't done any autoxing and you state has better roads than any place i've been in (except some of Germany).
I bought my car to drive hard not just to look at and complain about the ride quality and tire wear issues, or else they make 19's and 20's to give you rough ride and poor traction due to the extra weight and lack of side walls that keep the tire from conforming to the road and handling well, the only thing you get with ultra short sidewalls is a quick turn-in followed by a lack of traction in steady state cornering. Let's ask our racing crowd what tire size they run? Is there a diminishing return point on a shorter sidewall tire?

No, you're right, I haven't done any autoxing, nor do I plan to on the streets. If I *was* gonna autox, I'd have an extra set of tires and wheels soley for that purpose. To each his own....I'd rather feel the road a little bit with some lower profile tires rahter than bounce my way down the street.

Ask the racing crowd what ever you like, and I'll bet 9 out of 10 do their racing at the track and not on the road.

Sorry if you took offense to my opinion of your small looking wheels.

I will agree though, the roads in Germany are the absolute best I've ever driven on....big wide lanes, and smarter than average drivers.

Default keep it pics only

The intent of this thread is to show pics of wheels on/for 350Z's not to discuss them. I hope we can just post pictures here for people to select wheels for their car. We have another threads to discuss pros/cons of wheels/tires. I just hope this thread does not get cluttered with discussion so much it loses its intention of showing pics...

thanks....
