Wow, can't wait to see them mounted, always liked the style, just wasn't sure if I'd like it on a Z.

I've got blue open-ended Muteki tuner lugs I'm not using if you need them.

Edit:
I don't think the above link is "extended," but closed-end. Here are the extended:

I don't know how different they are from the 5Zigens though.

Ive seen those wheels on a Z in person here in Houston... They really do look incredibly good, i was knocked out when i heard they were XXR's.

Stogey, those are same as Marcuz's wheels he just got, correct? Im pretty sure they are.

Anyway also saw them on a 370 in Dallas, i think.

Good choice, just make sure to get spacers to get them to fit right. 8.5 et.30 is WAY too tucked. 10 et.25 isnt that bad, but it could be better.

ya they look like quality i inspected them in and out and they look great. as far as spacers they will come soon after this saturday the car will be corner balanced and suspension adjusted with the wheels. then we will figure out if i need to roll the rear fender and spacers.

Looks good, in for pix. Also buy wheel locks so you keep those wheels!

Damn, never seen this many people giving positive comments on wheels that aren't worth over $2000. I always like the design, but wasn't a fan of the sizes/offsets. Keep us updated with pics. Should look good on your murdered out Z.

i was thinking the exact same thing, but its much appriciated. more pics to come these wheels really are clean.the offset was a thought in my head aswell. but i figured at that price. add in some spacers if its thaaaat bad. plus at 128 a wheel i wouldnt have to worry much if i scratched 1 or something happend. i could just get another . down the road i might go w the 18x10s up front aswell. kinda wish i had. but its all good.

yes 4 of them have the little tab visible there on the side and are close ended. these are the locks but they look just like the other lugnuts (except open instead of closed) the key has a cutout inside of it where this tab slides onto. i wish i could use these they are LEGIT
