They look ok but, they aren't what I am looking for. My tastes tend to exceed what I can justify spending so I will keep the stock 18's.

don't want to sound like a d!ck but after the last 3 Z's I've seen you guys post pics of after doing wheels on them I don't think you guys have good taste on wheels for us! None that I've seen so far even come close to fitting the Z "style" or "visual statement". You guys should consider picking up more brands / lines if you are that limited to the 3 prev set-ups so far. 1st it was that god ugly "bling bling" 20s on the rear with 19s up front. Then the chrome on Lemans?? And I would of much rather stuck with the OEMs as well on this one as commented already!

There was someone who recently posted pics (from LA) of a Super Black Z that I have set as my desktop wall paper. The wheels are "INCREDIBLE". I can't find the post at this point ...

Well, that's what a forum is for. Interchange of opinions and likes and dislikes. Tho with your statement "I don't think you guys have good taste on wheels for us!" it appears you are speaking for the entire forum and that can't be true can it?
Anyway, the wheels on my Le Mans are not chrome. In fact, I told Todd that I did not want chrome on my LS. These are a polished silver, not chrome. There is a difference. Thanks for your opinion tho. You know the old saw, "different strokes for different folks." I wanted out of the oem look and opted for the Privat which IMHO compliments the aggresive stance of the 350. Regards, Jim

NOT TO BE RUDE,but if my car came w/18'z I would not have changed them out.The car was,however designed to have 18'z not 19's.Best to you.Tom

my reply was to DSD, "you guys" meaning them...not the entire forum!! That would of been one pretty bold statement hitting the entire forum! LOL

Sorry about the chrome, that is one very high polished finished then! In the pics they look chrome! And I do agree with you on the opinions, not all will ever be the same!

Not to be rude back,but my Z came w/17'' wheels & the car was really designed to run 18''z.The pics don't do the wheels justice.I also saved 2lbs each corner[17''] &4lbs compared to stock 18'' plus I gained more rubber & the price was sweet.Tom

I'll stick with the OEM 18's.

The only wheels I've liked so far on the Z are the Volk GT-C's and Brad's iForged FS-6's.....everything else has paled compared to the OEM's.....except the 17's....they're pretty ugly IMO.

Wow, and I thought I was to harsh sometimes. You guys are rough. I really liked the way these wheels looked without tires or on a car. I'm thinking that I just don't love them on the white car. I wish I could see them on another car.
