I wouldn't be "sweating" if these replicas were the proper size.

For example, ADR M-Sports are replicas of the Volk Racing SF-Winning. They come in the proper sizes and offsets for the Z (19 X 8.5 +35, 19 X 9.5 +35). So they are a great low-cost option. I've never complained about them.

The wheels you guys are looking at have a max width of 7.5" and a +40 offset. Totally off for the Z.

Victor

It has staggered setup in 8.5 and 9.5

If had the money, I would buy VOLK SF CHallenge..but eh...

You may want to go down to vendor classifieds and wait for a group buy to save a few hundred.

Inexpensive 19" staggered wheels I know of:

ADR M-Sport ($1050)
ADR Cypher ($1050)
HP Racing Evo ($1200)
Axis Milano ($1250)
Axis Se7en MOD ($1250)
Axis Wheelsite Mesh ($1250)

Anyone have any others? That's about all I know of. I'm sure there will be a lot more beginning of next year, there's definitely a niche market with all the used RX7s, Supras, and new cars like the Z that favor staggering...

Volk's are nice and all, but for a few hundred more I'd probably buy an American forged brand, they look about 10x nicer and a lot less ricer.

Mine fit the Z great And sort of look like the GTC. The hubs on mine are bigger than the GTCs, as are the spokes (wider) but I like them. they are VERY HEAVY though. I got them from Discount Tire

I think Racing Hart makes a replica for the GT-C's there called a GT-5 I believe. I'll see if I can get a picture.

I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure they are cheaper than the Volk's/ HRE's/Iforged that whole level of wheel.

Those Hart's are 1 piece I think, which makes them only available in unstaggered. I think you have to move up to the expensive two piece versions to get staggered.

I wouldn't put HRE and iForged in the same class.

Racing Hart (not RH Evolution) and Volk are in the same class though....very close at least.


If I were on the cheap, I'd probably go with
