Default Anyone have/like Momo wheels?

Looked at wheels at Tire Discounters today. One of the wheels I liked when placing next to my car was a Black/Polished lip Momo FXL1. All it's made in is the 18X8 with no offset. I know I should be getting an offset, but for $1612 out the door installed wrapped in Toyo TIR's 225/45/18 and 245/40/18 I can't really complain. Any experience with Momo's? I've heard the name but little about them..http://www.momousa.com/get_image.php...t&id=402&pic=1
If there is another rim similar that has the offest and won't run me more than $2000..Let me know.

In another set, Axis Shines 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 and Toyo TIR's for $2500 out the door installed. Good buy? I just dont know if I can spend that much.

You'd probably end up spending a couple hundred more on spacers for the Momos. I just had my stock wheels off last week and I think they're 18 x 8 with +30 offset.

What do you mean "no offset" ... are you saying an offset of +0? They will NOT fit on your car... by not fit, i mean they will extend past your fenders by a **** ton. Post up a link or some specs so you don't regret your purchase later.

Man. My logic was screwed up. If there was no offset, the spokes would be dead center and those wheels obsivously aren't like that.

Ok not no offset, I know they have some. I mean not enough maybe? They have the same offset as factory 17's and wont have a nice lip on the rear wheel. I donno, I am new to wheels and offsets and all that. They told me they will fit fine but no create the wider stance in the back like I see on most Z's here. The rears will still be sunk in a little instead of flush with fenders.

I've been looking at Rotas, the P45's and I just think they are too plain. I actually don't mind the stock 7 spoke silver wheel, best stock wheel on any car out there i'd say. So unless I do something head turning and far enough away from stock, I cant justify spending $1800 on wheels.

I am heading back in an hour to look at the other wheels. I know I am going for black with poilished lip in 18s or 19s so I am narrowing it down.

Hah I know I know. I am counting momo out because of the offset. I am looking for something similar though, as long as it has the right offset.

if your to go cheaper you may want to look at some tenzo wheels they make a black gt6 with polished lip. they have 19x8.5 in the front and 19x10.5 in the rear with a pretty aggressive offset for around 2k also.

Wow...
how about staying with quality wheels and maybe rather picking up a set of the g35 19" sport wheels (foged, light, strong, cheap)?
8" wheels are small....
