It will look retarded if you don't have proper offsets. At least get spacers and don't rice out your car.

Those offsets suck *****.

Wrong offsets make your car look like sh*t. I don't care what you put on your car, but I will laugh at it and make fun of you.




How old are you?

offset is very important...for handling and appeal..if you want to look like your riding a covered wagon go right ahead and dont get spacers..The flusher you are with the fender wall the more aggressive the car gets...You might be the only person that doesnt mind rims that are tucked that much

In this situation its ok to follow the hurd and be a conformist.

As for the rims, their not really my style but they should look good if you have an SS or PPW Z.

Just buy some wheels from a vendor on here. Even Rotas will look 10x better.

Better than rotas. You will definitely need those spacers. And if you really don't care about offsets I have a feeling your future modding will bring much fail to your z.

Ive been saying I already have 25mm spacers. that will bring the wheels back out to normal if not more than my stock, right?

Depending on what year Z you have, but if im not mistaken, the stock wheels offset are +30 and still need spacers in my opinion to make them look flush. You are going with a +35 and +40. You do the math.. I dont think you will be happy with the way this set up will look with those offsets. Good luck though. To each his own.

its an 07. the fronts are +30 and the rears +33. If i can get the wheels back to what the stock offsets are or greater that will be fine. Ill go flush when I get some new wheels in a year or so (yeah I change wheels once a year).

Just dont see the point in running +25 spacer when you can buy wheels for probably the same price and not need them?

Check this months issue of Modified Mag - there is a test of various wheels on the track (it is a pitty they didn't test Rotas). EVO X on Axis Halos had the worst lap time in the test.

Couple of things:

I dont think he'll be going to the track.
I wouldnt put Axis in the same catagory as Rota.
I would like to read this article, though, mostly to see how controlled the variables were. Regardless, i love Axis wheels, but if i took my car to track events i would have a switch out wheel such as rays or G lights or RPF01's.

I dont believe Axis markets their wheels so much to track as to street, so in essence superfail on the authors of this article. I know they do market drift somewhat, but this is not a TA style race so again, superfail.

Why didnt they use the axis circuit? that is the wheel they geared towards racing and hence the fact its manufactured by Rays. The halo has no sign of being marketed towards track, but instead for street style. So if they pitted against Volks, G lights, BBS, OZ....no wonder it lost in a TA.

What exactly can be said of mentioning such a worthless article in this thread?
