Default Ggames 77s; does it fit? any info?

hey guys first post, just recently got my Z. anyway, i was looking at the discount tire website and see the Ggames "sidewinder" which is the 77s model only listed at 18x7.5. I also called them and they said they only have 7.5", is this wheel really only available in 7.5 inch?!? i searched quite a bit on this wheel and i'm not finding much, any info would be appreciated! thanx.

damn, mgl ditto what strife350z said.

i kind of wish i got a silverstone, just so that i could get gunmetal rims. kind of clashes with chrome silver.

locatedz... yeah, not sure if it will work with the z for the sidewinder rims...

i went to the rays japan website, and in 18, they have 7 1/2 with offsets of +42 and +48, and 8 1/2 with offsets of +30, +45, and +55.

hope the offsets makes sense to you, i still dont quite understand it exactly.

awww.....thanks guys!

btw, those offsets above would look too tucked in for the z. it will work, but its probably best to find some rims made in a lower offset. also if you want to run wider tires, you'll need some wider rims.

edit:
actually, you can run the 30 offsets with the 8 1/2s all around. your tire sizes will be a little more limited, but its definitely possible.

mgl, or anyone, do you know if the 30 offsets would look tucked in in back compared to the fronts? i've been reading up on offsets, but it's still a blur to me.
here's the wheels by the way;

There is a good reason why you only see the 7.5" rim. You are looking at the wrong ones. There are 2 different G Games 77 Wolf wheels: 1-piece and 2-piece. The ones for our cars are the 2-piece Wolf VAIO. The normal fitting is 18x8.5"/18x9.5". The 1-piece are cheaper wheels for FWD 4-cylinder cars. If you check the wheel gallery, there is a Silverstone coupe with gunmetal G games. They look really good.

uh there are 3 different g-games wheels.

the 77w, the 77s, and the 77f.

locatedz is talking about the 77s, which really won't fit well on our cars.
