but expensive doesnt mean it isnt rice. Look at Cheston's picnic table bench for a rear wing ... that is expesive at fock ... but it is pure rice.

I bought my wheels for looks and looks alone. The track rays wheels were perfect .. but I didnt like the look enough .. and the car didn't stand out here in southern california ... so I got some shiny new ones.

rice when on a front wheel drive car not needing down force on the rear... non-functional = rice...

on a RWD car IF it is functional then it is no longer rice...

IMHO

Got my 19's Volk last weekend, and it didn't take but 2 days for someone to inquire about my Z, asking how I liked it and such!!! I've gotten so many compliments!! Looks is #1 reason for me, but performance is a close second.

I think I feel a tad bit of lag with excelleration, but it's worth it for me compared to how FREAKIN sweet my Z looks now!! I feel like I have a new car, I haven't pushed it yet on turns to see how much more traction I have with the 10.5R and 9.5F width, but I am having a harder time burning out going into 2nd gear!! I 100% satisfied with my big azz lipped 19's, rollin on Volks!!
