Wheels are almost complete! Need some opinions before they ship out.
What color centers?
4 colors are shown, but I can pick any color I would like.

nope totally wrong. You took your backspacing measure based on width of 12.5 so that 292.1 you used should be ~317.5.
If you knew the face type and disk type, it would be pretty easy to tell their exact offset. http://kranze.jp/english/lxz.html check the specs they are different for FR and FF faces.
In any case, those are definitely more aggressive than 18x11.5 -6.
Wheel market problems are :
1- 95% of ppl don't have a clue how offsets actually work, so they buy/trade/sell without knowing what's really in the deal.
2- most ppl don't even know there are different disk types made. Fact is how often do you see a FS ad with disk type listed? Almost never, yet it's VERY important.
3- ppl lie and make up random offsets all the time. Take any wheels, let's say equips for instance, I've seen ppl refer to them as 18x12 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 -6- 7- 8- 9- 10, while the truth is only 12 -4 (R disk) and -5 (O disk) were in the offset I just listed as example.
as a reference.. my car with 18x12-5 running -3* camber and they can easily tuck inside under full compression. My fenders are obviously pulled but nothing crazy like some of the other guys in here.

And this is why you have the perfect setup. Always loved your car, stance and look. Great job bud!

Hey fellas. Just picked up a square setup of NT03's 18x9.5 +27
Ive searched through ALOT of forums already but need some advice on a rear spacer adapter/ With my calculations. the fronts should be pretty spot on flush
and the rears Im debating on 20 or 25mm spacer.
Fenders are rolled and have -1 camber in the rear?
Suggestions?

If you want to fit aggressive offsets you are going to run more camber. It also depends on how low you are. I'm running 0 offset on 19x11 rear and have to run 4 degrees of camber.

New look, wasn't feeling the gloss red metallic wrap anymore so I removed it and bought a 2nd set of Works since I've wanted a concave set for a while. Still have my Work Durandals.
Ordered these in matte black and had them immediately powdercoated Candy Teal with 2 different added metallic flake top coats.

I want an aggressive look, but is this not attainable with 18s? Thanks for any response :P

Hey man, the car looks sick! I've been looking at these same wheels for my silver stone 350z but in 18's instead of 19. My question which could be unanswerable since you got 19's but its this: Would the 18/9.5 with +12mm offset F and 18 10.5 +15mm offset R look pretty aggressive on a car lowered on coils? Like I said it's a pretty lame question but if you could give any insight you thought of when shopping for your wheels please let me know I want an aggressive look, but is this not attainable with 18s? Thanks for any response :P
I want an aggressive look, but is this not attainable with 18s? Thanks for any response :PWhether you do 18s or 19s doesn't matter, its all about offset. If you want aggressive you will need to add spacers.
Then again, I have pretty mild fitment compared to most on here. I just don't feel like destroying my fenders or running retarded camber like a lot of people are doing nowadays.
