Hub Rings are very important and alot of people dont install them with their aftermarket wheels...

Good point, and make sure that for track use, the hub rings are made of aluminum or steel. Plastic rings are good for street use, but during race use they somtimes tend to deform/compress a tiny bit and thus alow for movement that eventually brakes the wheel studs/bolts. Depending on the driver ofcourse (think of someone who rides the curbstones all the time).

i bought both 25mm and 15mm, but the 25mm made the wheels stick out of the guards, im guessing due to the offset on the Anniversary wheels being different to stock 18s

i havent noticed in difference in handling or power down, but still i wouldnt put spacers on the front wheels

Hey tipiace,

You wouldn't happen to have a direct a$$ end shot of your Z with those wheels/spacer combo would you?

I'm kind of interested in what they look like at a rear view.
