Default Lowenhart LSR

Are these wheels any good? They look nice... but they're 20" so I don't know if they'll fit on a Z. And I can't find the width options anywhere. I was kinda hoping for a 9.5 or 10 in the rear.

You gotta be kidding asking if Lowenhart's are good. LOL. Lowenharts are top quality and a lot of their rims are geared towards mercedes. Those wheels look amazing on some of hte larger Mercedes 4 doors and even on the the SL series. Not sure what they would look like on a 350 though. Also, if you haven't got a price yet on those, ur in for a nice surprise. Lowenharts aren't exactly cheap in price.

Imagine how they'd look on a white or black G. I'm more into these kinda rims than the racing volk or mesh style rims that everyone loves. (I have a G coupe too). You might want to look into the Iforged rims too. The aero's are pretty nice.

Have your call Christ @ F1 motorsport yet? The price should be lower. Typical price for Lowenhart's

Yes the price is high but for those that can afford it why not get the one of the best.

No not yet. I just wanted to get a rough estimate. It won't be until later this year that I get them so I won't bother right now.

Are these going to change my ride quality? What about speed bumps? There's a bunch in my neighborhood.

Also, how much will this throw off my speedometer?

Ride quality? Unless you don't drop your car, it will not effect your ride quality.

Speed bumps: No problem

throw off my speedometer? what you mean?

well I think the speedometer works by calculating wheel revolutions... so a larger wheel will travel further per revolution... so you'll actually be going faster than your speedo registers. Atleast as I understand it...

The speedo thing also has to do with your tires too. I think if you get the right size tire it shouldn't throw it off. If it does, It won't be a huge difference anyways. As far as ride quality, I don't think it should be too bad. I have 19's and the ride quality feels the same over bumps n such. 20's shouldn't be too far off.
