I've been wanting to see these wheels on Z myself before i go for it.. I saw them listed a this wheel guide and they had Z fitments but the mag had them on a Audi... Bump for anyone that has them.. and they seem to have a staggered fitment..

I would suggest a better offset, something closer to +20. Those would be tucked as hell on a Z.

save up 400 more dollars and get a nice japanese wheel that stands the test, looks nice, and trust us, you will be FAR happier in the end.
Look at 5zigen wheels, they are very simple and the price is just right.

i think i may actually pull the trigger on these.. unless theres reasons not too.. yea i know the offset is a bit high.. HmmMm.. i don't need expensive rims or light weight since i just use the Z as a DD.. hMmm.. am i going to be the first to get these? i'll check if the local shop near my house has one on display and i'll take a couple pictures

wish me luck..

get your stock wheels refinished TA style or some 06+ wheels, they would look better

Nooooo. Don't go cheap on your Z. Save your money, the stock wheels are much better. Don't be in a rush to buy something that's not worth our weak US $. Just save a few hundred dollars and buy some "real" JDM wheels!

save up for some volk GTUs or work VS-XXs...cheaper wheels tend to have horrible offsets...and on a FM or S chassis you really dont want to run anything under +15 on a 18x9...it looks horrible (sunken battleship equals failtown)

one thing that isnt taken into consideration is that with quality wheels (from say volk, work or advan) is that should you ever go to sell the wheels or the car...good wheels will retail for almost what you spent on them if you keep them in good shape...it will also increase the value of the car...so say you spent 2500 monies on a set of advan super racing 2s in 18x9/18x10 and youve kept them in awesome shape...you can turn around and sell them for 2000-2100 and get back almost what you paid for the wheels

well i don't expect to keep my car for more than 3 more years.... i tend to get bored of cars easily, of course quailty is quailty.. pot holes will be pot holes.. hit them hard enough.. either brand will bend.. hey atleast there not chrome.. or 20's.. lol

but i'll double check if that is the only offset they offer..

i called the shop near my house.. they don't have any in stock so, i can't try them.. hMm..

I saw these in the 2008 wheel & tire guide and they seemed to offer Z offsets as wheel as staggered applications.. I'll double check tonight or if ya can, go grab the the 2008 wheel and tire guide it's a huge mag with i believe 20"s on the cover.. again i double check the exact name of the of the mag if that's not it..
