Luckily, I calmed down from the initial shock to see that we do have different sizes and colors. I have the bronze and it isn't a typical bronze, so it's kind of hard to tell the difference. I am sad to see that someone else has these though as I thought I was being unique in not getting volks or works.

but yah, I wanted the SE37ks but my friend fell through frm japan.

can't wait to see them on your car! what tire specs did you get?
and I was actually thinking about picking up an extra pair of 18x9 +20s in case I want to run a 18/18 setup

I bought these from jkim. I can't wait to see them on my car either, it's been killing me the past couple months! I just ordered some Falken 452's yesterday in 245/40 18 and 275/40/18. Pretty standard, but I was more concerned with ride comfort than look.
EDIT: That's JKim's car, I believe the tires he has on it are 245/40 and 275/35...

yea i talked on phone with him but he said he doesn't have 9.5 +20 right now he said he has to check with work USA. ( they not open yet, so i'm just waittin)
and he told me that we were talking about 18x8.5/ 18x9.5, but when i check my PM box we were talking about 9.5 +20 all around
here is part of my fault... i ordered XD9 first and i called him late at that night and changed order to CR kai. made him confused.

yup yup. and just to try it out I think they just look small cause people are so used to seeing 19s on every Z... there will be a backlash!
if you have PM proof that you wanted the 18x9.5 all around I am sure Adam will help you out. good luck!
they really look amazing in person. once I take more photos (i.e. 'better' photos) you will see, the gunmetal color really shines and sparkles. I keep staring at my car, I am glad the look is growing on me. very agressive looking.
Do I hear a 'Weds Army' thread coming on??? LOL!!!

I honestly prefer a different face front and rear, so I would say ROCK them! the same concavity/size all around makes the front look odd IMO. you need a stagger; makes the rear look wider, etc.
also, with the 1 inch narrower rim, it will sit about 24mm farther in, so you could run a 15 or 20mm spacer in the front to push them out so they are flush as well...
