I remember when I was in high school in the 90's and wanted Niche wheels. I was also into lowrider trucks.

They've come a long way. (picture below).

As for the the 18x8 wheels OP, do some research on this **** first before you buy anything because they would look like chit on the Z with those specs.

I wanted the Niche Shocks.

Did you know that MHT Wheels that makes Niche also make ADV.1 wheels? So that $6k-$10k/set of ADV1 are the same as a $2k/set of Niche Forged.

MHT also make Vossen wheels. Among others as well. Last year when I was buying my HREs I did A LOT of research on wheels. Was OVERWHELMED with the info I learned. This is why I swore I would only buy custom, in-house production, forged wheels.

Understood, but that doesn't have to apply to everyone. There is actually nothing wrong with Vossen (albeit heavy), niche ( albeit heavy again) or the hundreds of other wheel makers out there. It's all going to come down to what the owner feels is the best fit for their car. My only concern is that people need to pick out the right sizes and offsets because that can make any wheel look like chit if done wrong.

I never said there was anything wrong with Vossen. I considered a set briefly. Like ADV1 they have a GREAT PR dept. I will state that I am 100% against knock-offs or counterfeit wheels; XXR, Rota, etc...

I agree with you on the correct sizing/offsets.
