woooooho the Zenetti Mystiks r fkn HOT!!!!
Ive been trying to find a dealer here in Aus that sells em, but no such luck, mite have to import them and pay the docks man his 35%
I really dont understand the constant comparisons of every wheel with Volks. Until i came to this forum i didnt even know what they were, the designs range from plain as (TE37) to over the top (GT7). I just alikened those type of alloys to riced up race style civics from Japan with metallic stickers and huge body add ons. Plz with the stickers and bronze/grey finish.....ahem naff! Just my opinion.
I agree that the showcar looked off, the offset has the front rims sticking out but the rears pushed in. I think thats because the wheels r too big, 20", and wanted to have the car sitting as low as possible. 19X8.5 seems more appropriate!
armanaid, could u post the link where u found that pic u posted first (the one with the hammered facia chick). Id love to c some more pics of that car.

If its any consolation....I'm still "shopping around" for rims...these just happen to be in my top 10..I know, I know...you would not even qualify them....but I have to make a comparison....
BTW - left a VM to my Hialeah chic, this might turn out to be another interesting Friday night after all...hehe
Ok...so since you feel so strongly against these ZENNETTI rims, tell me, what would you recommend as top rims for a Touring Z fully loaded with/Nav

Thats another thing im not understanding. How is a few extra kilos going to affect the handling/acceleration of the Z?!? Our own body weight varies more than that between us. I mean i can understand Porsche using hollow spokes on their 911 Turbo, but come on the Zs a different car....

I guess you guys are right..chrome should be left for the (Cadillac Escalades (an SUV which I personally hate IMO, I'd rather get an H2) and not the Z's which is why I started considering getting this set:
AXIS SE7EN MOD - 19x8 & 20X10 on Toyo Proxes T1-S ---245/40/19 & 275/30/20.
whadaya think? Any comments on AXIS SE7EN wheels anyone?

MATIX i understand what ur saying, but i still dont think the slight extra weight is going to hinder performance that much. If ur planning to modify the hell out of the Z, or track it often then sure id endorse lighter alloys, but for me id b happier with the bigger sized alloys just for aesthetics.

YEs this slight amount of weight will make a difference!! Why do you think its so important to have lite rims? Not only that, but heavier rims are bad for handling. Wheels are part of what is known as unsprung weight. You give yourself wheels that are 5 pounds heavier than stock at each corner, you are going to feel a difference! In acceleration, handling and braking.
Think of how a rotating mass has inertia. More difficult to start and stop. 5 pounds extra weight is NOTHING on regular weight, but when its a rotating mass on your wheels or flywheels for that matter it saps performance.
19 volk TE 37s are around 21 to 23 pounds. Those Zenettis are probably 28 to 32 pounds. You line up two cars with these different wheels that are otherwise mechanically similar and the lighter wheels will win every time.

What do those babys weigh? (Since We are on the subject)

Dude, I actually love those rims. They are the one's I think I am getting EXCEPT not chrome. Yes, they do make those not in chrome and they look great!
