Privat Fahren Question
I am interested in getting the Privat Fahren wheels. I have a couple of questions if anyone can help me.
1. Does anyone have picture of Hyper Gray on any Z?
2. Will the stock pressure sensor (tps) fit without additional metal band?
FYI, I am going to stay with 18x8 +20 front / 18x9 +25 rear. This way, I can still use my stock S03 tires, and upgradable to 245/40/18 front & 275/40/18 rear in the future.
Thank you.

How come you didn't go +20 front?
Do you know if the stock tire pressure sensor still fits without modification?
Does the wheels require hub ring so it doesn't vibrate around 60mph+?
THanks!

I go w the 40 because I was worry about the rear wheels offset not the front, either of the front offsets (40 or 20) it wil be good
I don't know about the tire pressure sensor because I have the Base Model...sorry... But I believe it will be fine!
I bougth the Installetion kit that brings the nuts and the adapters for the wheels... you will need it, just $45 more!

You are interested in the same exact thing I have been asking about. I wanted to see the gray on a black Z. The only difference is, I want 18x9 all the way around with the 25+ offset. I want to put 275/40/18 on the rear. I just need to know what is the biggest size that will fit on the front while still being large enough for the 9 inch wide front rim? Anyone have any comments?

You can't use the factory nuts... the kit bring nuts and a plastic circle to fits the wheels in the rotors ( I can't explain it better... just order the kit) if you call Disc.tire they can explained better.
you can use big brakes on this wheels, but you can call them and make sure about that.
and yes 18x9 is too big for the front!!!

18x9 is not too big for the front guys. There are people on here running 19x9 on the front and 19x10 out back. I will see if I can get the 255/40/18 for the front. Sounds like that might work. We shall see.

ok, just ordered the rims from my local discount tire store.
18x8 +20mm = $263.00 ea
18x9 +25mm = $270.00 ea
(20) 12x1.25 special lugs = $50.00
17mm key = $5.00
labor+lifetime balance = $96.00
total with tax $1309.48
It will be here next Tuesday, I will post pics when they are mounted. Thanks!

Don't think they can get Volk, but you can try goto online and talk to someone live.
now I just hope the tire pressure sensor will fit without any modification...

I ordered the Privat Fahren in hyper gray. I got the sizes 18x8 and 18x9 with a 20+ and 25+ offset respectively. I also ordered 245/40/18 and 275/40/18 Falken 451's. I will post pictures of these wheels on my Superblack if anyone is interested. I should be getting the wheels by friday before NOPI.

Rears look a little tucked in the last pic......but I'm guessing it's the angle. That's a 25 offset?
To any Privat owners, not just the one above: Any pics down the side to see how the offsets flush up?
