I didn't make a smart assed remark ******. I assumed they were the Z's lug pattern. I'm going to go cry in a corner now since I made a mistake on this godly forum.

Not bad wheels. i personally dont like wheels that have "thick" centers i guess you could say. even thought they are 19's they look smaller to me because the rim doesnt have much spoke length, kinda light the middle is to large. idk thats just my $0.02 but again not bashing them cuz im running stocks and would def rather those but just not my taste. cant wait to see finished pics tho.

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

When your using adaptors and spacers as he is with these wheels, it's pretty important to see where the wheel will sit. The OP clearly stated "Test fitting them so i can order the right sized spacers and tires" But your right, he should have just guessed what size spacer to use and not test fitted anything.

They're going to look small without tires obviously. I don't see how your post was in anyway useful.

Why spend that much to have to use massive spacers?

Probably because that style of wheel is unique and hasn't really been done before on Z's. Most of the similar style wheels Z wheels have massive lips.

Another fail post.

So many options but ppl seem to be limited to only a few Bolk models from Roy's Engineering

Because he likes the wheels and they don't make the "optimum" offsets and sizes required for a 350z I would assume...

Because I clearly asked "What is the bolt pattern of the wheels?" Not, "What is the 350z's bolt pattern?"...

Whether or not it was intended to be a "smart ***" remark, it came across as being so to a certain extend.

Plus, that comment wasn't even directed at you, so idk why you're asking about it anyways...
