Default RUFF R280 wheels? Anyone?

I am looking at these wheels.. anyone have any pics or experience with how this wheel looks on the z roadster? I am considering 20's JUST to get that 10.5" wide wheel on the back.. Let me know what you think... I have read a lot but now im all disheveled..

Do a search, theres a few members on here who have those rims. I like em and they have a nice deep lip too. The price is great too one of the forum sponsors sells the 19's for $820 shipped I believe. For the price I don't think you can beat Ruff.

This is them in the titanium gunmetal, or whatever they called it (don't think they make that finish anymore on this wheel).

The 9.5 is around 28lb. 8.5 a little less.

Its a good looking wheel, the only thing it needs a chrome or stainless steel lip. The lip/dish of the wheel is great cause its deep but it looks dull cause its just machined. Man trust me it makes all the difference in the world and wheel looks like a 3 piece forged wheel when you have a stainless steel lip...

....meh. Thanks for sharing, but I like them much better when photographed alone. Don't look that great on the car IMO, no offense.
