The wheels don't really look that bad to me. Those 245s belong up front tho. Definitely need something wider out back! That sidewall looks like it's straining.

You need some of the chrome square metal mud flaps to make the ghetto-ness complete.

I was actually just wondering the other day how the Bullitt wheels would look on a Z... I think in a smaller size they'd look pretty nice actually.

The stretched tires though... I just don't understand it. It's unsafe and looks like you couldn't afford the right size. Some fatty bobatty 295's out back would look MUCH better

STRETCHED TIRES ARE NOT UNSAFE!

That strech isn't too bad, I'm running the same aspect ratio strech on my wheels as well. It's pretty mild when it comes to the world of streching tires:

I like a little stretch, but that's too crazy for me haha. If you really like that style wheel, go for the Work VS-KF. Ballers only.

Wheels look good, just not on a Z.

the rims aren't wide enough and the rims don't have enough lip to be VIP style. needs more lip to pull that look off. just looks weird to me. cool being unique though!

VIP isn't about lip size. Many car builders use fullface wheels on their cars as well. It all depends on the build itself, and what best suits the car.

Instead VIP focuses more on the body lines, wheel fitment, and car stance. IMO it truely involves a certain mind set as well. Someone who has the want and need for the better things while not having the traditional "Socal Showcar" mentality

(No offense to you socal guys BTW, the industry would be no where without Socal!)

prashant, while that's true, that wheel's not full face....Either he should get a full face rim or one with a deep lip. Seems kinda halfway right now with that tiny lip.

Oh very true, I'm not questioning that! Half way setups like that IMO make a wheel look cheap because they are usually associated with offsets that are fixed. You see this on wheels such as Axis, ADR, Tenzo, etc. All the cheap stuff.

Full face or full lip

and again on the 'full face' it goes all to concavity correct? either way those rims are not correct for the style.
