well its either get these or stick with my current ones until i have enough to buy a different set. They are very bad.

225/40/18

rims are only 18x7.5

offset 42mm..

most "disgusting set of wheels ever seen on a Z" according to many forum members.

I would keep saving your money that is not much of an upgrade from the wheels you presently have!!!!!! They aren't the most disgusting set of wheels i have seen on the z but it's a contender for sure.

your goin from a very bad choice to a bad choice...save some money get a good set of wheels and tires when you can afford it. If you don't you will eventually spend more money upgrading your wheels than if you would have just saved and bought the set that you really wanted/fit your Z.

The offset of the wheels on the first page is 30mm, I don't think they look bad at all.

30mm is horrible..............your talking to people that have wheel setups on their cars already including me. If you want them go buy them but when your losing money because you want to really upgrade you can say we all told you so. Why start a thread if your not even trying to listen it sounds like you have your mind made up. Go buy those weak wheels.

Guys I appreciate all the suggestions, but I think am going to get these wheels. I've searched out most of the wheels that people have recommended that I actually like these better. I think the gunmetal gray will look very good with my silver car. The big tire looks a lot better then the skinny tires that I have now.

Plus 245's all around seem to be a common setup on the Z. The offsets are like stock wheels, so they will only be tucked just a little bit.

Thanks for all the help! I will at least post pics once I get them on.

Wheels are nice , little heavy but nice. The front tires are fine , but the rear really needs some 275/40's , just get a set and save the old rears to use up front. The offset is actually perfect, +30 is technically the proper offset for the car, but i go i little more aggressive for the street.

GREAT news... The tires ended up being 275/40/18 in the rear and 245/40/18 in the front! I have the setup on my car and it looks AMAZING. I will take pictures today and post them. Looks 100% better then those skinny tires!
