Looks sick man. I saw the car in the parking lot at the JCCS show a lil while back in Irvine.

I'm partial to these rims since I have a set on my s13. 18x9.5 +12 & 18x10.5 +15.

Just for ***** and giggles I'm putting mine on my daytona blue Z in about a week. Can't wait to post up pics and get flamed on!

You got the right wheels, but the wrong color. This reminds me of the Acura/Honda crowd throwing all kinds of outrageous wheel colors on their 10+yo cheap cars. This really cheapens the look of the Z on the street. I can see doing this on the track where performance outweighs appearance, but this is not the case. I don't know how anyone could think this is "sick". There is nothing that can justify the purchase & cost for wheels of this color.

mix some green pearl with some clear coat and spray your car and it will help make the look better.

Paint the lip black and it would look better imo. Without that, to much green

Love the offsets, and the wheels. The wheel color is too aggressive for an otherwise subtle car, IMO. It does however look good on the M-Speed Cars though.

(P.S. Black Chrome.. Would look amazing)

Big Fan! I've always loved a clean, solid car with crazy wheels. I know lots of Porsche guys that do it... 996TT with bright orange or yellow wheels... stuff like that. Definitely a different look! I've been tossing around the idea of getting one of my LMGT4's sets coated in red or purple... even turquoise.

thats the thing though... the Z is not anywhere near the Porsche...

fast porsches, lambos, etc, can rock crazy colors like that...

I say you gotta be at atleast 400 whp to rock those craazy wheels.... if you are, than more power to ya!

like i even feel weird about mounting my time attack volks since my Z is so f-ing slow... its just a big statement thats all... but if you like it, then thats all that matters
