wicked4u2c: NIIIICE!!!
jmr0311: more pics, more pics, more pics!!!
BTW, javi, the lower the offset, the bigger the lip...
from armando's pics and ur pic with the ings half kit, looks like armando's got a larger offset (like he said +32 and +24)...
the z with the ings kit looks like it got lower offset (slightly bigger lip than armando's), like mebbe +18 or sumptin like dat...
(wheel experts: correct me if i'm wrong)

Check out this link
http://rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/cgi/...?modelName=GT7
There isn't a 19x8.5 with +34 and +18 offset.
This is the recommended sizes by Rays Wheels for 350Z (see link)
F19x8.5 +23
R19x9.5 +36

Hope this helps

I am sponsored by Volk Racing, I wanted a custom offset. I can post pics of the label inside the rim which say's the manufactured date and offset. It probably isn't recommended for the 350z. So far no problems and my car is lowered. Although my friend say's I have really bad negative camber in the back, I have to check it out....

Love the rims. I had a question. Are your front rims high type and your rear rims mid type?

That has to be the best color combo. I am not really a fan of the gunmetal color rims. I prefer the silver, or the machined silver color, but seeing those rims with the polished lip on your car may have just made me a fan. I have a Silverstone and I would love to see your rims on my car. You win the award for the ...... BLING BLING!!!

I will like to know the difference in appearance, ones the wheel is install on a car ,between 19x8.5 F with +23mm , +34mm or +18mm and the difference in the rear wheel as well. Which offset give me the bigest lip and which one will provide the better clearence for the stoptech 14 inch brake kit all away around. What offset allow me to lower the car and how much, considering Tein coilover or Eibach springs.

Nicest rims I have seen on a Z.
PERIOD!
I am still not believing them. I am interested! I think I now want a set which means I'll be selling my track rays with the S-03's soon!
Questions -
can you get the front in 9's and the back's in 10's?
what is the weight of your front/rear rims?
did you install your tire pressor sensors? will they hook into these rims just like the track rays?
WOW - I LOVE THOSE FREAKIN RIMS!
edit - BTW - I LIKE the hat!

Ok, just a recap. I called Volk Racing and it turns out I have a +23 offset in the front. He told me that I read the sticker upside down... I feel stupid
Anyhow, you can get a 9.5 in the Front and 10.5 in the rear but your going to have to roll your fender. He also said it doesnt matter if you get a 10.5 becaue the lip will be the same size as the 9.5. Just so you know (in case you wanted a bigger lip).Any more questions?

Yes,
1) weight? front and rear. What are they?
2) tire pressor sensors - will they fit just like on the track rays?
(i.e. - no straps or epoxie)
3) a. - 9" even and 10" even (not 9.5 or 10.5)?
b. - will the fenders still need to be rolled with 10" even.
if not I guess it will be 8.5 and 9.5!
4) Where can I get a hat like that!
