flux: besides the ugly color, they only go to a 9 inch wide wheel... and no mention of offsets. i.e. 'run'

rader: they don't have your bolt pattern, and they have a terrible offset and are expensive and look like ****.


move on, both options are sheit. if you want a Time attack knock off scheme, Rota offers correct fitment and nice looking rims as well. wheeldude is on the site, he can help you out.

again, try to find rims around a +20 offset, i.e. +15 to +25

I like mesh wheels alot actually, I don't like the Time Attack style really. a different color would be better, unless you have a black or red car?

like I said, the rims just aren't made for the Z and there is no reason to compromise on offsets and get adapters for the bolt pattern when there are so many better choices. as well neither of them look like a particularly good deal.

I like the 5/ 6 spoked wheels. I think those wheels have "too much going on" Keeping it simple looking with a good color usually looks best in my opinion.

O and please whatever you do... No CROME!

your best bet might be to buy the 5zigen ones that look just like that and paint them. May look better, fit better, and overall be a better choice?

I don't think the 5Zigens have very good offsets, and small lips from what I have seen.

I have complete confidence that you can pick wheels without asking permission.

The Sports Engine mesh wheel by 5Zigen is actually my favorite wheel for the Z.
