Default 20" WHEELS....who's got em???

I know everyone out there wants to keep their 350's light and is out for performance, but out here in Boston there are a few running around with 20's with big *** lips. If anyone has PICs of their Z with 20's or any Z with 20's can you PLEASE POST THEM????


THANKS

Those are Brabus Monoblock VIs, and that looks suspiciously like a photoshop.

Nay, those are not photochop...

You can look closely and see the factory Z brake behind the wheel. The Z is one of the few car I know that have a angled front brake caliper...so it is on the car.

The wheel was probably ordered blank, and drilled. Or it was fill and redrilled...Either way, it looks good on the car.

no no, yours isnt, yours go well with the body kit too.

but the other one... the car appears extremely dropped... the rim is being hidden by the fender? wheres the tire? I donno, havent seen a Z with that much of a drop... its not too hard to put a rim onto a car and keep the rotor.

Well...., it's not photoshop for sure. It's Brabus M-VI and I have to drilled in order to fit. Well...., I have no problem with the drop. I am able to make any turn, even u-turn. No problem at all. The only problem is I have to drive it carefully and try to avoid all the bump as possible. Anyway, it's very cool though, many people were staring at me and my Z. Anyway, I am changing my black leather seat to two tones alcantara leather seat. (black on the side and gray (alcantara) in the middle. I also changing the door panel to two tones as well. I am going to update the picture on Wednesday. It's gonna be cool.

You know, I am so seriously considering "Air Bag" for this car :Flame Suit Activated"

I mean I don't race and all, it would be nice to have the ability to raise the car up or down in order to get into parking lot.

I know Air bag can get wobblely at high speed, but I don't get that here, so there isn't really a safety issue.

Does anyone on this fourm have experience with "Air Bag" or any kind of height adjustable suspension system? Any recommendation as to cost, labor, issue that I might have to see?

hey kulin ....those rims are off the hook. A friend of mine from a local rim shop told me that the Z has the same lug pattern as the new mercedes SL ...so slapping 20" brabus wheels should be no problem. Does anyone have 20" inch Iforged on their 350...Im debating on whether to go Iforged or Maya...All I know is that I want a serious lip...
