Those wheels are hideous. I cannot imagine that wheel looking good on a Z.

The lip ... oooh .. so big .. yeah, but its a "fake" lip. Very similar to TSW's Thruxton and RH J8's lip "scheme". It gives you a lip by hanging back the spokes at the outer edge ... and I think it looks bad doing it.

- jim's opinion, take it as you will.

That huge lip in the rear is one thing but that almost as big lip in the front is tooo00 big and will look goofy I think.

But I would love to see them mounted, just to make sure.

Don't put my name on any waiting list for those

Def agree they'd look awesome on a Lexus GS/LS, etc... but not on a sportier car like the Z/G...

i agree with chad, it would look stupid in the front with a huge lip, might look decent in the rear... lets just wait to see the pics

oh yeah guys...
just wanted to comment..
these are 2 piece welded wheels...
not 1 piece wheel like the tsw's
and this lip is by no means fake...
its a lot of lip..
and imo i disagree.. lip on the front and lip on the rear looks hott no matter what..
also i spoke w/ tom and he said this will clear the brembo's
and its about an inch difference front and rear
front is about 4 inch and rear is about 5 inch.

i think it looks ok.

def. not your typical volks that every other z has.
although i think those wheels would look a lot better on a lexus or benz.
