yeah the only thing is the offset would appear to be 42 if im reading their site correctly. any ideas how thatd look on the z since its about a 7 or 8 mm difference from the stock offsets. that shouldnt be a big deal right. given that 7mm is like a quarter inch. any help would be great. thanks.

cuz arent the axis seven mods about a 42 offset. you guys think itd look too tucked to have 18 x 8 wheels with a 42 offset?


also opinions on color. they also come in bronze, gloss black, gunmetal, hyper silver, hyper black etc. i was lookin at either gloss black or gold. i love gold and i have a super black. thats the only thing is would it look better to have wheels that match or wheels that pop and set off the from the car. i like gold but what you guys think.

18x8 wit ha 42 offset doean't sound right.... that would be too tucked in. The stock 8" track rims are 33 offset.

yeah that was bubbles point. is that theyd probly be too tucked in. im still tryin to figure out whether 1/4 inch more tucked in is really that big a deal. any idea? i mean how noticeable can 1/4 of an inch be especially if the wheels are distracting enough like those are.

it'll be a big deal, they'll look really tucked. you'd want the same offset or even 7mm less than stock because the stock wheels are tucked a good amount too IMHO.

if you do go with those wheels, throw in a 10mm spacer all around.

The wheel pictured above is not a look alike of the J8 but rather a replica of the Volk CE28N.

This is the replica J8 and unfortunately Rev wheels are aimed more towards FWD cars.

You betcha. Offsets on RWD cars are usually lower while FWD cars are higher.

Most of the Rev wheels have offsets between 42-45mm.

42 offset is 12mm off of stock Z and 9 off track. 12mm is almost half an inch in. I have a set of rims with 42 offset and I have to run 1" spacers to make the look right.
