Actually, I'm kind of glad you all feel that way because I will probably be the only one with them, lol. Anyway, maybe those pics don't do the rims justice. Here are a few new ones:

I like them, but see what happens when you try and do things your own way.
It's your own fault for trying to be an individual.

They are far from the 18/19 rim combo that comes with the Z. The ones that come with the Z are more concave. Plus, if you look around, nobody has a chrome lip, they have machined lips that have been polished, kind of like your rims. They certainly look unique!! but they just don't fit the Z. Too "rally car" look, and the Z sure as hell ain't no rally car. No offense, but it kind of reminds me of some of the cars you see on ebay, and think, daum, why the *** did he do that!?!?!

Just for reference (and maybe a little validation) here's some pics of the wheels on a SEMA car that another member posted on this forum previously:

oh no, guys i'll never meet in person telling me they don't like what i've done with my car...its not really that big of a deal...he got the wheels already...he's not going to sell them and get new ones because some fools 1000 miles away tell him to...and he wouldn't have posted up pics if he didn't like them a lot

i like it better on a silver z, but maybe if u add a front lip it will give it a bump. try the velside or ings lx. i'm sure that will give it a diffrent look, u would be suprise how much of diffrence will make.

did you add a red lip on the rims (3rd pic)? Someone just posted another thread after he did that to his.

When I first looked at the rims, I noticed that they aren't my type, however, I did think about what it would look like if you painted the center cap black to match your car.

I think there is a lot of potential, it just depends on the colors present. Keep workin with the photoshop if you aren't 100% happy right now. I'm sure you'll come up with a color combination that looks wicked.

You're the one that will walk out to your car every day and drive it. Only thing that matters is what you think. To heck with what others think - unless you are looking for paint suggestions :-)
