Default Looking for rims

I'm trying to find rims that have a red black two tone color, 5 spoke design and preferably around 5-700 for all 4.

I'm currently looking around because I bought these rims and I didnt realize the offset until much later.

I mean I could make them work with spacers but idk how safe they are. Apparently people tell me these wouldnt look right so idfk anymore.
Then other people tell me that tons of guys run spacers and having 20-25mm all around is perfectly fine.

OK, you didn't say you already bought them in the original post here: https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...these-fit.html

As I said in that post, you can fit them with spacers. Spacers are not inherently dangerous, per se. They're just not the optimal way to make a NEW set of wheels fit right.

If you can't return the wheels and you like them, just get a set of spacers (as stated in first thread), mount up some 245/35s all around and call it square.

Oh yeah thats my bad, I did buy these already. No disrespect to you. When I said "other people tell me they wont fit" I was referring to in real life.

Then I have friends saying spacers are fine dont worry blah blah so I'm just conflicted. I like those rims alot but if they look like **** on the car then idk.

Heres a youtube video when we test fitted them if you want to check it out

I just wish konig made that design wheel with the proper offset like damn. I'm googling all around to see any red/black two tone rims for around 700 and I cant find **** that I like. Thanks for your help though highly appreciate it!!

If you like them, that's all that matters.

Oh I like them, will they be safer than stock though. Stock doesnt need spacers and the stock rims have the correct tire size. I dont want to do 60 and have the traction slip or the rims fly off

As Mic has already said, your wheels are a design compromise. But as for traction and overall safety, you'll probably need to purchase and install longer wheel studs to get enough thread engagement to safely hold the wheels on. DO NOT use your stock wheel studs with spacers larger than 10 mm. I'd suggest you look at ARP wheel studs if you have to have to install those wheels. It's a lot of work to compromise- so think about that before proceeding further.
