check out the gallery....see what you like.
there are so many rims available for the z now.

for a LS, i'd suggest silver colored wheels.

as for width... mine are 9 in the front and 10 in the rear, but you can defintely go wider if you wanted.

imho, Volk Mercury Silver Wheels. I have Volk Gunmetal SF Challenges and get lots of compliments and looks so you cannot go wrong with that. Still I think GT series wheels in merc silver would be really nice.

Well....
we chose our rims for the appearance factor.

They are chrome Axis Se7en's.

19x8, +20 front
19x9, +20 rear

Bridgestone Pole Position S-03 tires
245/35 front
275/35 rear

There are no rubbing issues at all.

I think its more a matter of what finish looks best on the SL color, rather than what wheel. There are so many great looking wheels out there, but what color.

I think any nice wheel with a custom Sunset Lemans powder coating on the spokes and chrome or polished lips would look awesome. There are several Volks that will look nice on your ride, just need the custom color.

I also like the look of bronze wheels on a SL Z. I saw Jeff's car in person this weekend and its a very nice combo.

You can get the 7-spoker WITH a lip on the standard Axis Se7en (3-piece) or the Axis Se7en MOD.

I don't know if you can get those particular ones in chrome though.

Nothing beats those bronze rays on the Lemans. I'll be getting a set as soon as the bank account catches up to me!

They are Silver 19" Volk LE37Ts, 8.5f and 9.5r +22 all around. Wrapped in Toyo T1-S tires. They are one of Volks more expensive wheels but also very light at around 19lbs per wheel give or take depending on width. For a 19" wheel that is pretty light. I would recommend you talk to Jeff at Evolution Autosports for pricing if interested. If you have no plans of dropping the car or have no issues rolling the fending, the 10.5 +22 rears are sick with a nice lip on them.
