Thanks

The picture below is 18", Fondmetal 9X...however a 19x8 19x9 combo is also available for less than what you are looking at on ebay...plus it has the lip that seems so important on this site. Anyway...$1042 for the set of wheels delivered.

I actually like the top wheels a bit better. Their clean lines seem to complement the clean lines of the Z very well. The bottom wheels are a bit too busy for my tastes.

Disclaimer folks, I am wheel/rim clueless. I dont know what offset, lips mean. I read the FAQ, but im still learning.

For now im going with what strikes me.

Thanks

Thanks for the link. Sent a pm to that gentleman to find out more.

Sorry i dont know what the offset is. If it doesnt say in the ebay listing, then i have no clue. Remember, wheel illiterate person here.

I need to know what tires i should get with these rims. And will the tire pressure gauge work with them as well.

thanks
