I've got a Brickyard and love these wheels. Should I get silver or hyperblack...Doesn't look like hyperblack is actually hyperblack.

Also, wondering if I should go 18's instead of 19's. Any thoughts?

What is your definition of Hyperblack? The way I understand it is that the wheel is painted black and then a clearcoat with silver in it is aplied over it.

Here are some pics one in bright light and one in low light

I think that would look good. I just know that I hate the look of the Brickyard with black rims. Also, I noticed people mentioning offset of 20". I found a site online offering the 18"s in Hyperblack for $599.00 plus shipping. Didn't mention anything about an offset...is this something with the tires or when they are mounted on your car?

The offset dictates how far the wheel will come out or go in in reference to the fender, some go with an offset of 35 which has the wheel tucked in a bit, I went with a 20 offset as it brings it out nicely and no interference with a lowered car like mine, additionally the guy that designed them suggested 20 for the Z.

So would this offset happen when I get the tires/wheels mounted then? I would have to specify that I want a 20" offset?

It is the way the wheel is manufactured and it is in mm no inches, so you have to specify it when you buy the wheel

I prefer Ruff Racing 278 myself, just like westpak's wheels. +20mm seems to be perfect fit. Never the less, Ruff Racing wheels are the best bang for your buck wheels.

somehow it looks better on westpak's car, maybe because he lowered it?

Some sell on ebay just make sure of the offset or you can contact Scott at Scott@statuswheels.com for a dealer near you.
