Default Racing Hart Jr8's

Hi all Im thinking of getting the Racing hart JR8's in gun metal for my Silverstone. I have not seen these rims on many z's and I would love to have some feedback regarding the look of the rims since I have not seen them in person.

What are your opinions on these wheels??? Thanks

I ordered the gunmetal J8's about 1.5 months ago for my silverstone Z! They just got here from Japan...(were backordered). I should have them on by early next week. I'll post pics here when they are on the car!

Thanks for the replys!

Man the g5's look sweet on your silverstone, I see you have the tanabe springs? NF210 or the GF's? I just ordered the nf210.

Pls post pics of the of the J8's when you have then on I actually placed the order today but still have time to change my mind, you may have a twin in Miami soon.

Another question, on a silverstone Im leaning towards going gunmetal instead of the silver. Do you agree? And how does the gunmetal color on the 8's match with the silverstone color?

Thanks!

I have a silverstone Z as well and went with J8's in silver. The gunmetal, when seen in person appears almost black (in certain light conditions). It's still nice but not what I was after. I originally ordered Volk Sf Winnings in Gunmetal (a lighter shade that matched the silverstone perfectly) but after 5 months on back order cancelled that order and got the J8's. It's a beautiful forged wheel at a decent price and I don't think you'll be wrong in going with either the guns or silver. Just my 2cents.

I will be able to let you know about the color of GM's by tomorrow hopefully! I may at worse scenario get them color coded to the car in the future.

I thought the J8's were cast rims? They are sweet looking rims though.

That looks like the machined silver one. Not gunmetal.
