Default I cant decide, there are too many choices!!

Looking for some input and maybe some pics if available.

I have a 05 CS Z and intend to lower it about 0.75"

I am trying to decide on wheels so I can purchase them this week.

Here are the choices I like;

^ +1 for sure...20's are great...the kind of wheels you're looking at will cost a crapload in 20" though...or won't be even on the market

They are all great looking wheels, just keep in mind that
RacingHart wheels with a clear coated lip are nortorious for
starting to haze after a while.
I've seen it many times personally.
Just a helpfull FYI

O-yeah, go with 20's if possiable, I jumped over from 19" Maya's to
20" Volk GT-Force's

Good Luck

what is your budget - you are all over the place based on your choices there.

as for the size, and style, alot of it IMHO has to do with the type of body kit you plan on (or none at all). Some wheels lend themselves better to some kits than others

The only possible aero kit I would do is a Seibon CF Lip and a Vertex CF Spoiler.

By budget is $3500.

I don't really want to roll the fenders and I want to drop it 0.75".

I want a clean look.

If anyone has picks of these wheels on Z's I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

3500 with tires or without?

if you search around you'll find pics of each of those wheels on members cars - all are pretty common

here is a pic of a customer car on the Volk SF's (your first wheel) - he is lowered more than .75 on Tein Coilovers - these are 9.5/10.5 and he has MAJOR rear camber and toe (ie has not yet installed the SPC arms). Once the arms are in, he is going to need to roll the fenders to avoid rubbing (runs 275/25/19's)

$3500 with tires.

Thank you for the picture.

I want to lower with Tein Basics so I can hopefully prevent having to roll the fenders. I am afraid that rolling the fenders will weaken the paint and cause chipping or peeling.

I also want to get the proper back spacing to help with not having to roll the fenders.

Hopefully doing this will not take away from the appearance of the Z.

you can roll the fenders without chipping the paint....just have to be careful and use the right tool

Are you looking for maximum lip, or are you willing to trade some lip width for not having to roll the fenders once lowered?
