Nice, but how about a pic showing both the fronts and the backs at the same time?

Sorry, not feeling them. I think they look like they belong on a sedan, not a coupe. The Z needs a lip.

Thanks for your honesty, but I must say I totally disagree. It's really not too far of a stretch from the stock 18" design. I know it's not the all-too-common "deep dish with fat chrome lip" (now that's blingy) that most people get, but it's a lightweight, quality one-piece JDM wheel. 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 love the wheels, but not on that car, Z needs somethin with a huge lip, those would be nice on a FWD or AWD drive.....EVO 3!!

Your whole wheel is chrome.....I'm going to say that's much more "blingy" than a polished lip....and it is a stretch from the stock 18" design.

Glad that you're doing what you like though

looking at te second set of pics, they reming me of rally car wheels I've seen on GT4 or something. The main reason I don't care for them, is that with spokes/face flush with the edge of the wheel, the offset is so much that the brakes are completely lost behind them. Guess it's ok if you have stock brakes, but I like my Brembos to show. Glad you like them, though; I doubt you'll see another Z on the road with them, so it is unique.

Z doesnt "need" a rim with a big lip to look good, its just those particular rims dont look good on a Z. add a lip to those wheels and they still dont look like they belong on a Z .

They're not chrome at all. It's a machined face. They are just very clean because I just got them. I would NEVER put chrome wheels on a Z!

Go to www.crimson-inc.co.jp to see more.

they'd look a lot better if they were concave They dont look all that bad. You just need to be dropped and that sedan look will go away
