^ I was gana ask the same question...
The wheels themselves look amazing and I love the fact that there 19x11 !!!
I agree with others tho, blue doesn't look great with blacked out wheels.. Just looks like a black blob.
Would love to see more examples on the Z with BBK before I pull the trigger.
These are the same wheels that Status is selling right now correct? AG's or something like that...

the rims come in different finishes as well. the pics dont really justify the rims on the car. normally im not a fan of all black rims. but since they are satin black and not matte black, theres a big difference in the look. never had black rims on any of my cars before so just wanted to try something different.
and yes, these are avant garde rims.

Bumping this fread because I'm about to pull the trigger on the same set of rims and I was considering 19x9.5" (+22) on the front and 19x11" (+25) in the rear. I'm still stock suspension wise, but I'm currently running a set of Work Emotions' 18x8.5" and 18x9.5" (+20 all around) with 255/40/18's and 285/40/18's.
I'm looking to get back to more 'normal' ratios so I was thinking of running 255/35/19's and 285/35/19's. Thoughts? Should I just stick with the 275's in the rear or is the 285 a better thing for the wider rims?
So in closing:
1) I'm thinking of running 255/35 and 285/35 front and rear, stock suspension. Or should I go with 245/35 and 275/35? Based on my results for the Miata.net tire calculator, the original setup seems better.
2) With the larger setup, will I need to roll fenders?
3) Offsets are +22/+25 respectively. Thinking about spacers, yay or nay?

I would say yes, you will need to roll the fenders. You are going about 2 inches wider than stock. There is only so much room to go under the car, so the rest of the extra rim width has to go outwards towards the fenders...
with that said, if you lower the car you are pretty much forced to roll the fenders.
I personally would roll the fenders and run a 295 on the rear. on an 11 inch rim you can get a 315 or 325 if you can find a brand who makes that size.
i love grip. im widening a set of 370z rims to 10F/11.5R to run a 295/305F and 345R tire!
but my fenders are rolled flat and I am sure ill need to pull an inch or two to get the 345s on there.
