I am in the process of buying RO_JA formula 5's. I just wanted to get your guys opinions. Do you think on a stock touring Z (non brembo brakes, not lowered), 19 inch wheels will make the brakes look kind of funny (very very small). Will the car look wierd if its ride height it not changed? Also, if any is familiar with the ro_ja gunmetal color, will it look good on a silverstone Z?
Thanks guys.

 

 

i would lower the car, too ... but that's just me

 

my .02:
it's a vicious cycle - once you get new wheels, then your fender gap stands out at you, and you want to do something about it...
then you lower it, and the tiny rotors/calipers stands out at you....
then...
well you get my drift...

ultimately, if you know what your final goal for your car is, then you should have no problem...
ENJOY!

 

I have 19's, my car is not lowered, and I don't have big brakes. I don't think it looks funny at all. I'm not familiar with the formula 5's - but gunmetal looks great on silverstone.

 

I followed the same dark (and expensive) path with my Audi A4. I'm also seriously considering the gunmetal 19" RO_JAs for my PPW Enthusiast. I will most likely ALSO lower the car (either springs or TEIN basics). Until I begin tracking the car, I won't bother with the brakes.

 

Do you have any pics?

Thanks

 

I can't post any pics because I can only get on here at work. There are some pics in this thread with the black Z and LE37's that looks similar to how my 19's sit and how the brakes look.

I guess most people think a drop of some sort is needed - I just think it is unnecessary.

 

the spokes on those wheels are big so it kind of hides the brakes better than other wheels. Looks really great!
