Forgestar F14s installed
Swapped out my Konigs for these.
18X9.5F (+26) 18X11R (+28) GUNMETAL.
Fronts weigh 22.5 lbs
Rears weigh 21.5 Lbs (due to offset vs width resulting in less hub material). Konigs (all 9.5) weighed 24.5lbs.
Tires:
245/40/18 F
275/40/18 R
Cooper Zeon RS-3S (Ultra Summer)
Car is slighly lowered on Nismo S Tune set up. Drop about .75". Yes, I see the *gap*
I'm *Old School* and don't like slamming and scrapping S$%T.
245/40 Front
275/40 Rear..stretched a tad
Previous set up..Konigs 9.5s all around:

Those are some great lookin wheels!
I really like the "gunmetal" shades on the Z(and other cars).
Getting a bit tired of the black look.Its a shame that black hides the detail
of some great wheels.Unless you are close up,you really can't tell what
kind of wheel you are looking at.I'm running hyper-black wheels that look
more "alloy" than hyper-black.I sorta like the bit of bling to go with the door handles
&other brushed aluminum(not to mention,the M3 fender vents I just installed).
I wish more guys would go with your choice of wheel color.
IMO,the height of your Z is great.You gotta be realistic if you are using the car
for what it was designed to do---drive it.My Z has OEM suspension height.
With my body mods(lip/skirts),the car still has a problem navigating some
driveways and speed bumps in this area.I just can't understand the guys that
run around with 2x4's in the car so they can get over stuff in the road...
Not for me.

You edited your post with the weights after I replied...don't get smart about it. Your original post was edited at 11:55pm with the wheel weights. I asked at 11:53pm. I'll admit to not re-reading the OP after your the first of three edits you did.
