Default What about these on my Z?

Hello,

I need some opinions on how these Roja R2-5 will look on a Nogaro red 350Z.
I got a good deal on these wheels. Waiting to be picked up tomorrow.




Once I get these, I will get the middle piece powder coated to matte black finish. Similar to this.



This is my Z

^^ Of course this is a personal opinion, but I think wheels with a polished rim and black spokes look great on a red Z. I think it will even look better on your Z with its black trim pieces.

Just curious… What are the specs (size and offset) on those wheels?

Be sure to post some pics once you get the wheels on your car.

^ Agree with Spike.

Also, you cant go wrong with Ro_ja's. Those look killer man.

I really dont see many sets of Ro_ja's on the Z...which is a crime in itself.

Kuhan, Thanks for taking the time to answer my question about specs on your recent purchase.

Great sizing on the wheels and the tires… I like the offsets…fairly aggressive but reasonable. The tires are about as good as you can buy.

You are really going to like this setup.

Please post pics when you get these installed.

^Thanks everyone for positive feedback. I will pick them up tomorrow.

I think these are Pirelli Pzero Rosso's, which are cheaper comparing to the other Pzero.

Will take some pix when on the car.

I got the wheels mounted today. The wheels look nice, but the rears are sticking about 1/2 in. out (from fender) since it's 19x10.5 w/ 19mm offset, which I don't like. I want the rear wheels to be flushed with the fender.

Is there a way for me to make it flush?
This might be a stupid question, but are there any aftermarket hubs that are smaller in thickness comparing to stock hubs? I want like 1/2 in. smaller than the stock hubs.
Similar to the blue hub on the picture below. Thanks.



Spike,

Here are the correct specs

Wheel Size: 19x9.5 / 19x10.5
Wheel Offset: +25 / +19

For sure you want the rear tires flush. 1/2" is too far out for best esthetics.

I looked again at the pics in Post #1 (on the Black Z), and the rears look flush. Are not these the same wheels? What changed?

19 is an aggressive offset, but only 3mm over the "safe" 22mm offset.

They are the same wheels, just that the seller gave me the wrong specs. I will take a few pics tomorrow.

^^ 19 offset with 19x9.5” wheels will be flush with the rear fenders.

19 offset with 19x10.5” wheels will stick out past the rear fenders.

I’m still confused by the pics in Message #1 since the tires look flush here.

I’ll wait to see your pics which will show the problem.
