i saw a Z with Giovanna Genoas. (19s) does anyone know the weight on these??? i looked but i cant find it. (if anyone wants to photoshope it....pleez) the set up looks sick, i was wondering if they would kill handleing.......

 

Dude, don't trash your 350Z with Giovanna wheels. They are about as ghetto as you can get. They are reserved for rap artists and athletes who stick big chrome ugly wheels on just about anything. Examples of high quality performance wheel manufacturers would be:

Fikse
HRE
Kinesis
Cargraphic
Hartge
Racing Dynamics
AMG
Brabus
BBS
Breyton
OZ
Carlsson
Hamann
Volk
SSR
Work
Racing Hart
Advan

to name a few.

I would argue that you would be hard pressed to find a reputable tuner shop who would tell you that Giovanna makes high performance wheels. If however, you just want to slap some shiny dubs on your car, so be it. To each is own, I guess.

 

no no no. you got me all wrong. i saw a Z on Giovannas, thats why i was wondering. It looks good, but im more of a performance first guy too, and the Z being a sports car, i was wondering how much those things weighed

 

Ummmm....the Giovanna GF-1 (one piece lightweight forged) rim is definitely a wheel to be respected. A don't think you'd be trashing your Z with a set of these rims....if they're good enough for Porsche's, then they're good enough for a Z IMO.

 

Those are nice looking wheels. Do they have an offset for an Fbody?

 

They currently only have fitments for Porsche and Ferrari. A Z fitment is on the way.

 

yea,BOMB RIM! the prob is that GF-1s are like 1300 a piece ....*** that, id rather rock HREs for that (or less).

Genoas are like 400 (not cheap) : same price as GT-Cs ....

 

I've seen them for $850 a rim......still kinda steep though.

 

y u got to be hatin i got lexani23s on my navigator and i thinkn they look good

 

these are my favorites. if they are light I might consider selling my new tracks to upgrade to these when the 19's are available.

 

Just orderd the Giovanna Genoas today, hope they look good on my black Z.

 

What size wheels did you order... I see the Genoas come in 22 and 24"?

 

Are you all wrappers? LOL

Cuz your cars are gonna bling.

Or maybe you live in the ghetto......don't upset my man..

 

i love "wrap" music. and i upset my man

 

I am getting davins on my G

SP1 3 piece forged.... FWCKING NICE

 

Im an unwrapper.

 

I understand that you're terrified of "the ghetto", but why does "the ghetto" have to come up every time somebody mentions chrome rims? I can't figure it out. Can one of you guys who have never even been in the "the ghetto" and are scared to death to leave your suburban sanctuary explain to me the correlation between chrome rims and your flippant use of the term "ghetto"?

 

how are giovannas ghetto? they are a classy chrome wheel. and they are very expensive. i dont like them on the z, but they are not ghetto. the only truly ghetto wheel on a z would be anything bigger than 20s (scary) or spinners

 

Oooooooo!! all I hear is crickets chirping!! Good response gaklid. I've seen chrome on porsches, jags, ferraris, what's ghetto about those? I was considering genoa's also but changed my mind.

 

I'd be the first to admit that there are a lot of gaudy, tacky chrome wheels out there, but just because a wheel is chrome, doesn't mean it's "ghetto". The REAL question is, what the hell does the "ghetto" have to do with chrome wheels? 99% of the people on this board are too terrified to go anywhere near "the ghetto", so how would you know?
