Here is a picture of the wheel and the tire sitting next to a Bricjyard Z, The picture looks a little funny because the wheel is NOT mounted on the car it is just standing next to the stock wheel.

Come on now guys... let's be nice... You are hurting my feelings 
They look 10 times better in real life, I will have pictures of it on the car next week, considering they are only $1100 for the set of 4 they are definitely bang for the buck...

I like the wheels but, they are not what I am looking for. If you like them don't *not* buy them because someone else doesn't like the styling. If someone has a problem with them other than their style, I would listen to that.

It is still better then doing 17s. And an inexpensive way of doing staggered rear wheels with a FAT lip. Will look niceon the car...
BTW that car is not mine, I am putting those on a customers car next week, I just thought I post the pictures out there. There was a couple members interested in what they looked like.

BTW the tire on the wheel is slightly smaller then stock tire as well, which makes it appear smaller. We are getting the right tires put on next week and having them installed on a Lemans 350z (that set will actualy be the Hyper Black which is like a dark silver) and the set in the (titanium silver) picture will go on a silver car. Both sets with right tires ofcourse... Will post pictures. It will only do justice when they are on the car...

Those are Stern Face-2 imitations. But damned if it isn't the hottest wheel I think I've ever seen. Here's the Stern:

sure looks like it. interestingly enough, I like the ADRs better, the spokes go all the way to the lip and the center cap looks better. But I am sure the quality isn;t as good.

Do you think maybe companies like Volk and Stern 'license' their wheel designs to the likes of Konig and ADR? It's so similar I would think they could drag Konig or ADR into court for copying their design.

just my 2 cents here...
The wheel companies do copy each other all the time, But they do not copy exact same wheel... If you notice the ADR Wheel has the spokes ending through th erivets all the way to the rim, And the Real Stern wheels actualy stop right before the rivets (Assuming this is a real 2 piece wheel). So you see technicaly, IT IS NOT th esame wheel but very close.
Either way reality is Not everyone can afford a $1100/wheel, Some people only have $1100 for the full set.
I am not saying there is a quality difference, BUT As much as I LOVE THE 350Z IT IS NOT A FERRARI.
Please don't flame me for th e350Z/Ferrari comparison, Just trying to get the point across...
At the end, it is sad that someone can come up with a beautiful wheel, and someone else dips in to the fame and profitability of that design.... Just like I am sure there will be other car companies that will be coming out with models that looks lik eth eZ in the future. SAD BUT TRUE.
