Default Thoughts on these wheels...

...yay or nay?

I like the style of the wheels... but looks really big on the Z.

I agree, wheels are too big and tire sidewall is too thin. However, I think it would look good if the wheels were smaller (in diameter not width).

I like the design and color, but if they're anything larger than a 20" wheel then I wouldn't bother. I guess it depends on what you want to do with the car.

Those look like SSR GT3 knockoffs. Attached are true SSR GT3s in 19" sizes (wife's old 04' ZR and wife's new 07' ZR).

actually, if you click on the pic, it links to SSR website. I guess it's a new model, that looks almost exactly like the GT3 (one of my fav wheels). They're called SSR Werfen GT-03.

it's the replacement for the GT3 which was discontinued a number of years ago - they are not new

Yup. Great wheel from SSR, impossible to find now that they are extinct.

I never really see one on 350Zs ... but seen them in euro cars. They look good but will look good on smaller size like mention above. Anyone know the difference between the older GT3 and the GT-03 ? Or it's exactly identical?

they're ok. but since it's 20's they would look better on a jap/euro luxury car going for the vip style

They look awesome. If the roads are good where you live and you dont mind sacrificing some performance, than i say go for it. They look great.

Looking at their website... They offer 19s.

Although someone selling them in that size...
