Default New Wheels

I got a new set of wheels today. They are Kazera 8.5X18 on front and 9.5X18 on the back. Tires are Pirelli PZero 225 45 18 and 245 45 18 on back.

I don't have a clue what they weigh but I paid $1700 for the wheels and tires from the Tire Rack.

cool. i'm one of those guys that doesn't think rims have to be made by Volk or cost at least 4K to be worthy of the Z. i think there may be more folks out there like us, but the guys who bark the loudest on this site have all dropped fat $$$ on high end rims, and condemn anyone who doesn't.
anyway, short version is, i think they look good. nicely done. still like to know what they weight, though

Nice wheels, but gaps are kind of big, I think it will look better with some drop

nope - poor tire choice - should have went 245/40/18 and 275/40/18 as recommended...

if the offsetz are the proper offsetz, and the tire diameter is the same as stock. how come the wheel gap seems so large?
still dont get it?
or itz just because of the angle u took the pics?

The car looks high cause I just took it off the jack. It hadn't been moved and so seems to sit higher than normal.
