What color Z do you have - it makes a HUGE difference re choosing rims in a complimentary / contrasting color.

I've yet to see any kind of color change or anything resembling it. If my memory serves me correct. The offsets are 19 rear and 26 front.

Volk's Rims is forge so I will hold together better. RH is not a Real Racing Hart, and it Cast..

The GT-7 above should be 19x9.5 +30 & 19x10.5 +24

I prefer the J8. I had thought that the J8 has a forged rim and cast spokes, but I might be wrong.

I am getting GT-7 in those sames sizes and offsets. I am going with 255/35 up front and either 285/35 or 295/30 in the rear. Do you know if they will rub in the back? I am on stock suspension right now, but plan on going Tein Flex soon. I am not going to drop it much, I just want a stiffer ride.
