They are bargain wheels. If you like them, get them. You will probably spend another $500 for tires. Take a look at the Classified section and price match 18" wheels at $1000-$1200. If you keep your eyes open, you can find some good deals for that price range for a wheel and tire combo.
Good luck.
Good luck.

These wheels are not even staggered. If you just have to have a new look, by all means go ahead. They won't look right though. I say, save up and look for a good deal on some Work Kai or at least for something with proper offsets.

I don't care for the style and they "look" cheap but, it's your money. You should probably check the offsets before you buy. Hopefully they are at least +30 or lower. 18x8 so, hopefully +20 or so. For a few hundred more, you can do better. Don't be lured in by the price.

Here's a good explanation of offset with a diagram.
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/...jsp?techid=101
staggered means that the front wheels are usually narrower than the rears which is the case in most RWD cars like the Z.
For example my wheel specs are:
Front Wheels- 19x9.5 offset +22 Tires - 255/35/19
Rear Wheels - 19x10.5 offset +22 Tires - 285/35/19
The bad thing about running staggered wheels is that you can not rotate your tires.
