Default Does anyone know what type of rims these are?

Hey guys, I just found this picture from last years SEMA show.. I think these rims would be pretty nice on a Z if they were painted black, rather than red.

Does anyone know what kind of rims these are?

If they were black, I think they would look pretty decent. I think the chrome lip, and black spokes would look great! I guess no one agrees. On my other car, I have Giovanna Double G's, because.. well I like the thin spoked look.

I see people that have aftermarket rims, that don't look much different that stock rims from a Z, or any other car. I want to be unique, ya know? It seems that that majority of people don't like rims that are thin spoked.

I like my Z to look clean not like trash.

ok, how about these?..



I believe these are Volk Racing RE30's? I found this photo on Cardomain, he's running 19x10 in the front and 19x11 in the rear.

you could easily look up a picture on any vendor site and see that the RE30 is not a 5 spoke rim.

nor does it come with a polished lip (cept the one limited edition one, but it's not a blackface).

probably an older picture.

The Z is a sports car. Those don't belong on it.

The rims on the 300 look like they could be ASANTI, not sure, but you can google them up.

hmm, interesting. As you said, it must be an older photo and he didnt update his description.

I did look up GT5 however, and those seem like decent rims. Please understand, I'm not a complete expert on rims.

Are Volk GT5's desired rims amongst Z owners?
