GTC's are pretty ugly, the Maido and Racing Harts look 10x better.

I'm sorry, but the way the rivets are done is just not visually pleasing. Looks like the wheel was put together with parts from the Home Depot.

imho, if you really dont have the money, then why dont u get a smaller size but better quality rim.. gram lights? or SSR type-Cs... something simliar thats forged.. or has better casting techniques.

knock off rims are cheaper cuz they use a cheaper manufacturing process.. typically aluminum alloy casting.. casting processes, although has improved over the years, still cant match the quality and strength of forging...OR the weight...

save up a little longer... Z deserves better...

imo, anything smaller than 18 doesn't look good on the 350

I won't be getting rims until winter is over, the car is parked in the airport hanger. , no it doesn't have to be in the GT-C looks, those and the GT-7's are the ones i like the most though
