shouldve just gotten the real deal (work emotion CR Kais). You would only be spending like an extra 4 bills; and you couldve gotten +12 offset, gangster.

i am planning on keeping grand touring rims for daily driving and using

less to damage one of those on the racetrack instead of my stockers-heard
it was like $5 grand full retail for all four compared to $900.00 for the rotas

Meh, I went on the cheap for a reason. Trying to get out of this crappy place I work at, so I had to go with something inexpensive. Pics are coming right up.

In the box..


Out..

Oki, so far things are going smoothly. Next stop, GF210's for the drop, some tint on the windows, and maybe some eyelids. Maybe, just maybe I can still swing my Seibon VSII hood. Then I think the exterior will be the way I want it.

Coming along very nicely man. You're still missing that FMIC to complete the exterior look

LOL send me that link for the interfooler. =P J/k Thanks man, its getting there.
yeah, the wife nearly fell out of her chair when I told her the tires would cost more than the rims. So I don't think right now is a good time to bring up the turbo thing.

Ohh but with a little more time.. (rubs hand together) muahahahahah... yes, just a little more time, my creation shall be complete.

I would take more expensive tires any day if I could. $800 for a set of wheels is a damn good price. It sure beats the $2500 I've spent on wheels alone for my Volks. The +28 offset of your wheels is decent. You might however want to look into some spacers if you dont like the way they sit. Anyways look at you man, I still remember your post when you first got the Z. Nobody can stay stock hanging around this board

ROFL.. yeup, this board gave me the mod bug, no doubt. I had begun wonder if I'd really be able to do some of the things I wanted. Thanks for all the encouragements. Wouldnt have a clue how or what to mod on the Z without all the advice I was given.

Anyone else get this recent deal from Subydude? The ones he sent me were all rears (concave). I didnt get any of the fronts. Not sure if I was supposed to or not. He also only sent me two center caps.

Argh, just looked at the picture, and only two of them have stems....WTF!?!?!?

Oki all. My bad, I talked to Zoeb, and apparently if you order the 9.5 all the way around, you only get the concave's.

The stems were explained also. =P I wasnt supposed to get any stems at all, these will have to be replaced. No problems after all, they cleared it all up. Not sure if those were center caps, the wife my wife described them, it sounded that way. /shrug Anyway, its all good, cant wait to see them on the Z. Thanks for the help Zoeb et all.

Oh I know he is. I wasnt disparaging him, but mistakes happen. I just wasnt sure if this was the case. I called them first to see if I misunderstood something, but they were closed. I certainly have nothing bad to say about Zoeb or the guys at Subydude. On the contrary, lol those guys were excellent to me, and went alot further to get me the rims I wanted than they had to. I cant tell ya how glad I am for their excellent customer service.

I think I'm going with the Rota Torques also but I'm holding out until someone has the Hyperblacks in a staggered fitment.

Yeah, I thought of doing that also Zulu. But once I read the article from SCC, I worried less about it. Apparently there are a few people here who run 9.5 all the way around and have no problems.

EDIT: Mrchu... DAYUM.. looks nice. Now I really cant wait to see these on my car. It looks like you've got it dropped. I have my GF210's on the way for a 1" and 1.2" drop. How close is that to your set up? Using any spacers? No rubbing issues? Thanks for posting that pic.
