here's one I found on their site, looks whatever. I'd say the volcanos look better.

Wow, those look NICE! I want to see the volcanos on it as well, but also what the hell kind of offset am I supposed to get with these type of rims. I want the fattest lip possible, hopefully about 2.5" to 3".

I'd say Volk, but given with your choices, I'd go with ADR. The Volcano, IMO, looks too much like other wheels. When you say a lot of people have ADR, thats not really true. Go around your town, I'd bet very few, or if any have those wheels. A few pictures here and there doesn't mean a few thousands, or hundreds. Good Luck, like the people here say, go with YOUR CHOICE.

There might be pics on the "other" Z sites....check around. I'd get the ADR's or watch the board for a used package.

Wow, I went to a couple speed shops today locally, and noone seemed to carry either brand! Two speed shops I visited basically insulted me for wanting ADR rims, tellin me they are the worst possible rims, "they crack all the time", "one guy died in LA because of his ADR rims cracking", and "we sell quality parts."

Wow, now I must ask are ADR rims that bad, or do they bend really easily?

First of all go, call discount tire. They will get you anything you want and they carry the 3 wheels you specified. As far as your choices go, I looked at getting the Kyalami's and the m-sports. Neither have an agressive enough offset for the Z. I think with an 8.5/9.5 combo you can run a +20 f and +20 r safely. I have 8.5/9.5 combo and run +24f and + 25r with room to spare. Check out Ruff wheels. They have a couple of sweet wheels with some good offsets and reasonbly priced.

I would love to see those Regulators on a Z. They would just be so out there I would respect anyone that had the ***** to put them on. Are they truck wheels?

TSW Volcanoes. I would have gotten those, but I'm going with Axis Hiro's.

The look will never get old.
