Just got these today.
19 8.5 front and 19 9.5 rear
Toyo T1R tires




UPS came too late (7:15 pm) so I was not able to get them
mounted today.
Tomorrow...
Also may be time to sell my stock 06 wheels (14K miles)

Is it just me or do they look rather similar to the Volk GTS? Except im sure they aren't as expensive. Good looking wheel. How much were they with the tires?

"Alright, alright, alright!"(Billie D Williams Empire Strikes Back)
Here they are mounted, but not perfect. I had to order 5mm wheel spacers for the rear because the center caps will not stay on. The offset was too high, and the axles stick out too far causing the caps to not fit correctly.
It will be fixed later next week.




In LOVE with my Z all over again.

Looks good. It'll look even better with a lip though.

Ok here's some pics with a clean car and clean wheels.




Just some 411:
If you buy these in 19's, make sure you get 5mm spacers for the rears.
The center caps will not stay on without them.

What offsets do they come in for 19's? I have 20in shines on my G and the offsets were +15 front and +20 rear.

Here are some pics of my G with a little over 1in drop on coilovers.

I just wish the lips were high polished instead of machine since my last set of wheels had high polished lips.

So you all recommend the 1" drop with the 19's setup? I am looking at gettng the same setup but in the Matrix so I will need the 5 mm spacer for sure? I own a 04" Z

Depends on the offset if you need spacers or not.
