Not bad, but the whites won't match.

the first Z looks hawt with the white LMGT4's (?) .. but his whole car flows well together with that totally white Nismo kit..

I love white rims, (specially TEs) but not on a PPW Z. the offwhite color just doesn't go together with the really white rims. on a silver car I would say yes. but I like it either way, just not as much. bronze or gold for white car.

obviously you'd have to color match them PPW......but even if you did i'm still up in the air and I have a PPW also. I think it'd still go with bronze, gold, black, or silver.

I say do it. But definitely have your wheels painted to match.

Do they not offer that volk in a polished lip? That would offset it and prevent any type of toy look.

2 of the sickest cars I have see were a porche 996 with wheel hres with a polished lip and a white 95 cobra that had white HREs with a polished lip and over 1000 hp at the wheels.

I think the need for perfectly color matching the wheels is overrated. Silverstone cars look good with gunmetal rims but the two hardly ever match. Same is true for the black Z's with black rims. Often the rims are a darker, deeper black. I think the white on white look is very classy - several older porsches featured this look. It's also rather unique...everyone seems to have black/gunmetal rims these days.

As for the drawbacks of white rims: they will have to be kept CLEAN to look good...with the Z's OEM brake pads that is almost impossible. Then every little scratch is going to show b/c the metal underneath is not white.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

looks great, i'd go with 18's instead of 19's. also make sure to get a nice aggressive offset, no larger than +22 and you'll have a nice concave set of wheels

to get the super concave wheel look you need to go way less than a 22... I have +22s TE37s and they are not looking like that at all : )

Problem is....every vendor always orders the standard +22.

Rarely +15 or +12...
