Exclamation Z sitting on Desmond Regamasters??

I've been a huge fan of these for ~13 years and thinking of picking up a set of 18s for my car. I've never seen them mounted on a G/Z and would like to see what they look like before I pull the trigger.

If anyone has some pics I'd greatly appreciate it!


Thanks,
Anthony

Never heard or seen them. You will be first. A pioneer of sorts. A trailblazer.

They remind me of some TE37 wheels. Based on the couple of posts I read, you might have a hard time finding them in the size and offset that would work on a 350. They seem to be designed for smaller cars like the Hondas or 240SX.

great wheel and design, but the Z/G is such a big bodied car that these rims would just look tiny,even if they made 19inch

Great wheels for the Honda/Acura's. Not sure if they'd be good for the Z/G.

EVOs only came as large as 17"
Desmond Marquis Promada Regamaster came in 18x10.5
There was a R32 cruising around with them with a "decent" offset, not aggressive by todays standards but it looked good. Think a hurricane took away the car and wheels.

similar setup to this but the car was that dark grey and the wheels were all white pcd


PS: I want a set of EVOs in 16s for my EF9

They were a big hit with Z32's back in Japan... and yes to add to what you said, they dont come in the offsets that a Z33 requires.

I know where to get them! I'm close to picking up a pair of 18x9.5 +18 for the fronts. I'd like to see some pics of them mounted on a G/Z but it's looking like I may have to be the first...
