Default Just ordered my wheels!!

Having a beer to celebrate just putting down a deposit for some Work Emotion CR Kai's, WMB finish! Yeah, a little pricey compared to the Gunmetal, but I loved the look of the WMB on a BlkZ. Couldn't post a pic bc the file was too large, but same size as the car below, 18x9.5, +12 all around, except in WMB (chrome-like) finish! ETA ~60 days now and COUNTING!

BTW, Adam from Z1 Performance- great guy to deal with. Gave me a competitive price and excellent communication!

There he is! Sorry for the posting "overkill" of your ride, but you had the best pics and same set-up I was going for. +12 all the way! I was thinking about going 265, too, but still debating on the tires. I have a good 2 months to decide!

Question for you, though...Did you have to roll fenders?

<2k. It was hard to decide between the Gunmetal and WMB finish, but after seeing the WMB on a BlkZ I couldn't resist. Gunmetal runs ~$550 less which made it tough, but I didn't want to regret anything down the line.

If I ever bought a second set of rims, though, I'd probably get the same ones... just in Gunmetal!

I think I need to read up a little on "camber" since I don't know much at all about performance mods. Are you saying I need a camber kit or something now? Or just arms? And why?

I run the +12 on the rear of my car with 275/35/18 - def have to roll the rear fender.

The camber may or may not end up being a huge issue, depending on your tire choice (brand and size) and your height.
