It's a custom vinyl I got at a wheel shop near my place. $20 for all 4 and it completely changed the wheels.

Thx Bmurray. Appreciate the positive feedback. Hopefully my friend will send me the rest of the pics soon

I just realized its my universal 8mm wheel spacers that is making my Z shake like crazy @80mph. So now I am in the market for a 10mm hubcentric wheel spacer. I should have payed more for the wheel with the +12 offset.

WILL MY CAR STILL SHAKE AT HIGH SPEEDS WITH A HUBCENTRIC WHEEL SPACER???

The 5mm does not even look like it has a ring on it.. The 10mm might be a little too long for my studs.. I just installed 46mm studs last weekend... The stock studs are 42mm in the rear.

Help Please!!

^^^you will be perfectly fine as long as you get hubcentric rings for your wheels and hub centric spacers. I had to have hubcentric rings just for the wheels themselves. I am able to go 120 no vibrating.

120mph.. I have not done that yet.. I am a little scared bc I have a roadster. I have the hubcentric rings already.. Today on my way home from work.. Good thing it didnt happen on the freeway.. my wheel started wobbling. I mean I saw it wobbling in my rear side mirror.. I pulled over to check it out.. my lug nuts were so loose.. i was able to finger turn them.. I took those s#ity universals off.. I drove 85mph with no vibrations.. I really wished i would have got the XXR 521s with the +12 offsets @nlmotoring. Thanks for the advise Ryebread...

^^^ AntoniOMG... Do you have any pictures?? I dont remember a grey with a sorta chrome lip. I think you got the Hyper Silver with sorta chrome lip. I just got the XXR 521s in black with the sorta chrome lip. I wished I ordered two with the +12 ofsets. I ended up getting 18x10+25 all arround. I have pics on this tread.

^^Antonio...Is that really the plus 12s??? They stick out like the set I have. I was just wondering because I was thinking of getting 18x10+12 for the rear. Can we have a closer picture? You car look beautiful man. What size tires did you get? Have you lowered your car yet? I am shopping arround for springs and camber kit for my car.

its only 13 more mm. and tire sizes can change the look as well as camber, etc.. on top of all that, its not the same angle picture as yours so it could be but we just can't tell.

I still wish I got the +12s for my rear set.. lol. I took that universal spacer off and now my rear wheels sets in more than the front. I know it will all change when I lower it and get adjustible cambers. I decided to hold off on the hubcentric spacers until I get the drop. I will have a clearer view of what size I would need to get then.

I just love the XXR 521s

I bought a set of (4) 18x10 +12's about a month ago and there were not offered in the 5-lug pattern. So unless this is something xxr VERY recently released, those are +25 offsets.
