GET THEM SOON!!!!
It took me a full six months to decide which rims I wanted. ( I Had plenty of tire tread left. lol.) But after going with the GT-S' I can honestly say that I made the best decision. After almost 8 months, I have yet to see another Z in miami with these wheels (Not sure if anyone has them or not). I still get compliments all the time. The best was from a guy with a Porsche GT3. He was so intrested he was going to find out if they have offsets that will fit his car. I love my wheels.

I was gonna say. If your that worried about weight, take a dump instead of slacking on the caps. lol. Which did you get the VR's or the other ones?

I don't really know because the guy did the install gave me used parts. The new set up will be Tein.

I run 295 in the rear, I think that is the problem.

do your front & rear tires stick out about 1/4" ?

yeah, sounds like your tires are the problem. My tires do stick out a little, not really sure how much. But I am running only 275/35/19. I am sure your tires stick out more.

That is DEFINITELY the problem. I have no rubbing issues at all, but I am running only 275 on the rear and using Toyos which have a very "rounded" shoulder.
