Made My Decision!!!

Made My Decision!!!
Well I've been going back & forth on several wheels choices. I really liked the Gram Lights 57F. Great looking wheel, lightweight etc... I also was about to order the Work CR KAI but EVERYONE has them. As well as almost any Volk and the Nismo GT4 wheel.
I want to be different but I don't want to spend a lot of money for wheels. Well I figured the only way to be different, own a nice set of an excellent, quality wheel is to drop a dime or two.
I have decided to go with the BBS RS-GT. Two-piece fully forged, Diamond Black with Mach Lip, & Lightwieght (21.4lbs front & 22.2lbs rear). Gonna stick with 18x8.5 (225/45) in the front and 18x9.5 (245/45) in the rear with BFG KDW tyres.
I'm not ordering them today or this month, but hopefully this summer along with a big brake kit I order them. After I get both of those I will purchase the JWT Twin Turbo kit.

As far as the JWT, I like the smaller turbos for faster spool up. IMO its more a daily driver kit vs some others.

Which KDW? According to specs on Tirerack, the KDW2 recommended rim width for a 275/35/18 tire is 9.5" and for a 245/35/18 it's 8.5". Good luck man. I run an ST set up and even w/ BFG KDW2 285/35/19 rear I can break the back end loose. My car is not daily driven, but driven often.

not ona Z..but the color is gorgeous, and it's not another "me too" wheel
they have a really nice lip out back too when you get the right sizing
I've got a pic on a Z but its not lowered so looks a bit "odd"
