They might look alright with a little lip. That looks like a FWD offset though.

Not my taste in rims. Is the center the type for race cars? How are you going to mount it with the center setup like that?

BTW...don't mistake these to be made by Sparco (i.e. racing seats, steering wheels, etc...). These are actually made by a company in Japan called Crimson ( http://www.crimson-inc.co.jp/sparco.html ).

Noooooooooooooo, not on a Z. It looks too "rally" for the Z.

The Volks are the ****.. They remind me of the M3 wheels. Really not feeling the first set.

I don't know, but I don't really like those rims period, let alone on the Z. I like the way the Volks look, I think that is the difference between 9 or 6 spoke-pairs.

Yeah but he might be on a budget i believe those Sparcos are half the price of Volks.

The vlks look better because they have more of a concave look to them. The spokes aren't so straight. The volks look a lot better.
