very subtle differences in the spoke design and the bolts around the edges. oh and I am sure the weight is different also

please tell me those would be going on a Black Z only though

it looks like the non-foose wheels have a different center, and the chrome plating is not as shiny, but that could just be the lighting. dude, i didn't see that either one of these were staggered fitment on your links. did you check on that?
EDIT: oh, and please don't order these wheels online, call and make sure you speak with someone that knows what works and doesn't work for the Z. you will waste a lot of money if you don't.

I love chrome wheels and think it goes well with yellow. I don't like the design of these wheels, though. Look like flower petals. Actually, I hate them. BUT, as long as you like them that's all that matters.

DIP look very cheap as I own the actual Foose. Centercap is different, finish is nicer on the Foose and the rivets are bigger on the Foose.


I still have my 19's for sale for a $1K with new Nitto's on them. If you are not set on the 20's. Save about $1500 with better tires than the Falkens.

They are different, but not a helluva lot.

Thanks,

foose lusso in chrome looks badass. i've seen them on a silver, yellow, and red z. looks good on all colors. they don't have a deep lip, but they are very aggressive looking.
