Default Which one....

would you guys go with ? I am simply wanting to see what yall feel would look better on the Z. I own a CS so compare to that color. I like both rims but cant make up my mind!

G-Games

Can be had from Discount Tires Direct for $463 a wheel.

and.....

Privat Fahren

Can be had from Discount Tires Direct for $360 a wheel.

Both come in 19x8 and there is no mention of anything wider. So please let me know which you would go with

Thanks!

Has enyone heard about the quality of the Privat wheels? I know Ray's has a great reputation but I know nor have heard anything about the Privat's.

Could anyone possibly photoshop them onto a CS Z? If so that would be great!

Privat, BUt I would use spacers to push them out more towards the body, a 40mm offset will make that wheel pushed in MORE than stock.

RodH,
Yeah I already came to the conclusion that I would have to use spacers which sucks, but oh well. There has been a post by Valulet that showed the G-Games on a silverstone car and the rim/tire combo seemed to stuff the wheel wells pretty good. Does anyone know the offset on that car? It has been dropped a bit by the looks of it so that could cause the wells to be as "full" as they appear.

How do you think the Privat's compare to the Konig's? I just saw that Discount has the G-Games in a 9.5" rear but they run over $500 and im trying to stay in between $350-$450. Im in college, have no job, and cant afford to break the bank!

hey stillenZ -
Where did you find those g-games in 9.5 width?
I was on discounttiredirect and it showed only 8 and 9 in widths.
they were $463 and $487 respectively.

I would go with g-games. you can get them in a staggered set up so you would be able to use tire sizes 245/35f and 275/35r.
This would leave you very close to stock diameters.
Also the offsets are good. The other wheels would need spacers.

G-Games

Although if you can't really afford the wheels, maybe just upgrade your tires.
