good advice on the Rotas or Rays G35 wheels. I like those on the Z.


See? the forum saved you from drooling over something youd end up not being happy with.
mission accomplished.

Appreciate all the feedback...very good info.
Anyway, I just installed 15MM spacers on my stockers last night..looks good and I'll stick with those for a while. They're one of the best looking stock wheels I've ever seen.

Good job, save your money and get what you really want later.

Default Opinions welcome

I have Nogaro Red 08.
I like this Konig wheel...18X9.5 25offset.

What do ya'll think?




Here they are installed on a Suby..Mine should look even better being a RED car?





Here's the OLDER Konig Zero to compare with the RED lip outside and spokes falling short without arching:

Hey,they look good!
I'm not a fan of the color stripe on rims trend.I've not seen these wheels before...stripe is inside.Pretty cool.Since there is no lip to speak of on these rims,the offset may be ok...dunno.
On a red car,should rock!

Were you thinking the more common Konig Zero?
This isn't to be confused with the Kong ZERO with red lip on the OUTSIDE...
This the newer Zero-IN with the red lip on the inside..NEAT.

Not a fan of Konig but like the spoke to edge of wheel design. 5 inch lips are played out.

I was gonna just swap the stock potenzas for now, but 225/45 is too much of a stretch on th 9.5s (245s on the rear would have been ok). So..it looks like I'm going for 245/40s and 275/40s. I'm looking at the new Cooper Zeon RS-3s...it was a Roush specialty (Mustang) tire prior and is now available in all sizes. If not that one..I may go for old standby..Sumitomo HRTZ IIIs. It's a street car.
