Prodrive GC-05F wheels
Anybody have these or have pictures of them on a Z? I think they might just be the perfect wheel for me. They're forged by Rays to Prodrive's specs, light, five spokes, and the sizes are just right. 18x9.5 +27mm, and 18x10.5 +33mm. I'm having a hard time finding a vendor or any other pics though, much less a price. http://www.prodrive-japan.com/products/gc_05f/ has some decent pics on a variety of cars, but no Z.
Clean wheels. I like 'em! Try contacting Prodrive USA about where to find these. http://www.prodrive.com/defaultflash.asp?M=5 I doubt you will be able to find them for less than $550 each per wheel in 18"...pricey wheel.
But I am more partial to the GC-010G since they remind me of the Ferrari Lemans Prodrive wheels and they are available in 19" sizes too.

You should get those, they look good and if they're forged, that's even better.
Do they have them in a lower offset for the rear? I think +33 might be a little too tucked in.
Also make sure the bolt pattern is 5-114.3.

For GC-05F sizes are as follows:
18×8.5J 5 114 23/32
18×9.5J 5 114 +22
18×9.5J 5 114 +27
18×9.5J 5 114 +32/36/40/44
18×10.5J 5 114 +21/33
18×10.5J 5 114 +44
Depending on tire size you want to run and since there is no lip I myself would go with the 18x9.5 +22 or +27 in the front with 18x10.5 +33 in the rear.
My 5Zigen FN01-RC's are 18x9.5 +22 both front and rear and the rear is pretty flush to the quarter panel with 275/40/18 tires. The front I had to flare the fenders to accomodate the same tires as the rear.

The only 1 piece rims I like are the LE37's. They have a small polished lip. I gotta have some lip.
The CE28's are nice but they are double drilled. That ruins them for me.

they look great...
Thank you caoz for posting those links, I appreciate it.
JETPILOT, to each his own, I don't really dig a polished lip.. maybe a small painted lip like on some TE-37's.
Jimster716, thanks for posting Prodrive's USA site. I figure about 550 for them as well. That's comprable with other RAYS wheels in a similiar size. I like the clean look of these rims a lot, and I have always been partial to five spokes. I just can't find a distributor/vendor for these wheels. Z1's website has pictures of them, but no information on buying them. Every other place I've checked online, in the US anyway, doesn't carry them.
I am not sure if I can fit a 275 on the front with the 27mm offset, I may end up with 265 instead. I am definately going with a 295 out back. I am hoping for some kind of tire/wheel deal but I will consider myself lucky now if I can find just the wheels, lol.

Thought I would throw this out to you guys since I came from a Subaru backround...
Prodrive is a very popular company amongst the Subaru scene. Subaru even sells a Prodrive version STi. ANYWAYS....
Prodrive is an awesome company. Any forged rims that is sold by Prodrive is actually made by Rays Eningeering. Thats right, same company who makes Volks. So you get the same quality of Volks! However price is are still about the same so don't expect a cheaper price
Any rims that are not forged, they are usually made by O.Z. Racing. Which are still good rims by the way. The WRC Subaru rally car uses Prodrive P1 (O.Z. Racing) rims on some of their races. Anyways you guys can't go wrong with Prodrive!
