Calling All DO_LUCK OWNERS
I want to order rims and I want the widest rims with the greatest offset possible. I am looking to build a 19" or 20" setup, I have BBK's.
I currently have 20" mayas with a
20x10 +29 offset rear
20x9 +30 offset front
There is lots of room to work with, I want to lower the car but I want to set my car up with the right rims before I do.
**EDIT**
After much consideration and expression that I would ruin my setup, I think I am deciding to go with work meisters. I have always loved those rims as well. I just didnt think they would come in the width I wanted, I recently found out they do.
This is how the car sits now.
I want to get as close to possible to looking like this.
(this is JD714's car, it is pure SEX)
Can anyone give me some suggestions based on what you have for a setup?

I love your car the way it is, and IMHO, I think the red car looks a little silly. Thats not at all a drivable setup. It looks cool for pictures, but the pain in the *** of having something like that everyday would far outweigh the look.

The knock off of the Robatura or how ever you spell it. The ones that at the press of a button raise your coilovers 3" up, this would make it easier to get in and out of tough spots.
My car is pretty much a show/special events/meets car.

Thanks on the comment, I forgot to mention it. Someone just said on another forum that my car has to be the ugliest Z he has ever seen. Each to their own.

I like your car. Not feeling the spoiler and the stock untouched headlights are FAR to plain for the rest of the car but overall nicely done and unique. I read that persons comment to BTW

My humble opinion...although I don't own any do luck on my car.
Work T1S's can go wide and low. I believe they go up to 11" in the rear and I'm sure I've seen then in the negative offsets. Gorgeous wheels.
Car's looking good though!

JD's setup is the following:
AME SHALLEN CX 19x9.5 +0 (225/35) 19x10 -5 (245/35)
Your Maya's have way too high an offset for your Do-Luck, so just match something closer to JD's and you should be golden.
I'm sorry but I really don't like those Asanti's, they don't go with your very JDM kit.
How about some SSR's?:

First, you need to get a better wheels with lower offset (at least +15)
Second, you need to slam your car...
But yea, not feeling the spoiler and two-tone...

my boy has 18x13 meister's (rear) in seriously negative offsets (-50) on a porsche wb.
point is they can be built to your exact spec.
call rick at status auto - tell him lgear sent you, and that you need some help.
calculating your exact needs are critical both wheel and offsetwise.

How about doing something different like WORK XSA-O2C a MUST with the steplip option. Meisters and t1s' are beautiful but time to separate yourself from the rest. Besides 1 spoke of the Meisters will hide your BBK caliper, and t1s' are like the standard wheel for G35's. I got the XSA also but yours would be killer with an aggressive setup similar to SHRUMMI's from G35driver. But be warned they say 8-12 weeks, it's more like 4 months

OHH MY GOD, those rims are sexy as hell. I didnt even know about these.
Those in gold on my car would look smoking hot! The only bad part of this rim is it's only made up to 11J. I am not sure if I would need a wider rim in the back without spacers. I guess I could always run some if need be.
Dang these rims are sexy.

Which is why I was calling on DO_LUCK owners, I wasnt asking for your opinion on my car. I am lookin for rim advice. Didnt you learn when you were young. If you have nothing productive to say or anything nice, then you probably should not interject into a discussion. It only makes you look poor in character as an individual.
