thats a good point.. when I had the JPs i would say most people didn't know what they were unless they were into cars. Whereas when I had volks, even my noob car friends were aware of them. I had people come up and ask me "why didn't you go with volks?" Kind of annoying I guess but you're not trying to impress those type of people anyways.... haha

LOL...wait for the pics with the new lights and then I guess maybe I'll be able to decide. Right now the poll is torn. I can't believe this!

I think I'm just going to have to sell both and get gram light max's with the titan coat in the widest offset!!!

AHH!

i think since the offsets/widths are different, if you rocked them both the car wouldn't drive well, probably abit weird on a classy car like yours.

IMHO, the winnings do not belong on the Z car. They just don't flow and I have never liked them on the Z.

Out of the two, the junction produce wheels are vastly better looking on your car

Any other opinions?

I'm having a hard time and the scaras are growing on me. I might keep them after my new lights are ready.

Either that, or I'll get lower profile tires on the winnings, and slam the car on stances as low as it will go with the Ings half kit...and get a bbk..

OR, get 20" Work VS-XX in Burning Black...and maybe do a 19" front to be different.

Thoughts?

replace your clear front bumper reflectors with black ones... thats a simple change that can add more black and make the jps go better... youve already got the black roof.... whatever you do just DONT paint your door handles black... that doesnt look good on the Z.

If you were to decide to sell your Winnings, I'd appreciate if you'd let me know, if you haven't any previous bidders of course

Wow, I'm so late! How did I NOT see this thread?!?!?!?!

Anyways...Ravi, my vote goes with the SF Winnings, because I'm biased! But seriously, I think the Winning look a LOT cleaner, and work well with the exterior styling. That is not to say the the JP Scara's are BAD, but they don't seem to work well with the clear bumper reflectors and headlights. However, if you black out your headlights (or get blacked out or custom 06 lights), and smoke your rear lights/lenses, it may work better as a package.

However, I will add that although the JP are more exclusive as everyone is aware of, realize that they look very similar to the Work Meister S1's that everyone has. Now, before someone knocks me and says that the Scara's look nothing like the S1's, I would like to say your are correct. But nonetheless, I believe they have a very SIMILAR look to the Work Meister S1's or the SSR Professor SP1. But if the exclusivity of the Scara's is your thing, then of course that is cool too!

Simply put, you can have nice looking wheels (JP Scara's), or you can have a nice looking car/package (SF winnings). In conclusion, if you have to keep just ONE set, I say stay with the SF Winnings.

The choice is yours.

You have one of the cleanest lookin Z I've ever seen.....Understand why you are torn...since both wheels have two very different personality yet both blend seamlessly into your car.

I'm not a huge fan of phat lip and SF Winning is one of my fav rims of all time. I would stick with VR.
