Default IMO...

20" = too big...
i think some guy has these exact wheels with a balsarini kit...

what would look nice are the 19" without the rivets... no one has these yet... you can be the 1st.

agree 100%, the 19"s without rivots would look very clean.

I saw a pic of a chrome silver Z with these wheels in 20" with the Kaminari kit and it looks evil! What do these things cost?$?

That's not terrible for a true 3 piece wheel. The advantage of being able to have a bent inner or outer lip replaced if you ever have a curb shot is a big benefit of the 3 piece vs one piece wheels.

HEAVY! if the stockies weigh in at an incredible 26lbs @ 18"s....Those must weigh 30lbs......good lord.....Think of the benefits you would have with lets say Volk TE37's in 18"s weighin in at 18lbs.....overall unsprung weigh reduction is...32lbs......32lbs .......32lbs.....or even better the CE28N's in 13.5lbs for the 17"s

Default those rims look good

I've seen the chrome silver 5zigen 350Z car with the 20" 3 piece wheels and they look great. Didn't know they were that heavy, thought they were forged and lighter weight than stock, but 20" is i guess pretty big compared to stock. If i could afford them i would buy them instead of the C4 racing harts.

I was actually thinking about doing the Hyper 5ZR 19s, but that is just too much money for some rims. I'm going to stick with the original plan and get the 18.75" Black FN01R-Cs: I had the FN01Rs on my Type R and I loved them. Put some Nitto Z-Rated Tires on and I'm ready to roll. I should have them in a few weeks. Gotta take care of some other business.

The 19" 5ZRs only come with no rivets.
