Nice looking wheels, but let me advise against 20" wheels on a Z/G35. I would think the extra rotating mass would harm the performance aspects of the Z. And a large 20" wheel on a car like the Z looks a bit out of place. Plus chiqs dig fat sidewalls

i would get these wheels in a heartbeat if they were available in a silver finish, because hyper black wont look good on my chrome silver car with the chrome accents ive put on (grill, antenna, emblems). damn these rims.. because they look so good!

Before I bought my Thruxton's I also had them send the new Mondello and Bavaria wheel in 20x10. Both looked pretty good in person and are available in silver. Check out www.tswnet.com all the wheels are the same price.

By the way they are the 20". Had them on for 10,000 miles and no complaints. Ride quality is great.

I got them from www.bigwheels.net
They had the best price around and were great with everything.

The staggered package for 19" is 19x8 and 19x9.5
I think the price for 19" are $239 each.

20x8.5 $279
20x10 $319

yeah here ya go. this is my car. since these pics i have added some better spacers to bring the tire further out just past where stock is. now i have my zacks on and for the spring i plan on buying even better spacers. while i love the rim, i am not the hugest fan of the "monster" lip that the +20 offset gives ya. check the post i put up earlier in this thread and you can see my reasoning.

here ya go:

19's. the deal i had from discount tire was unbelievable, and it included ceratin falkens. i have 245/35/19 front and 255/40/19 in rear. this gives a lot of stagger from front to rear, about an inch and a half. but if you error away from the factory stagger setup you better do it to the plus side cause anything underneath is going to kick in the TCS and VDC.

i got everything put on with tax title and all for under 1700.

not bad.

well i was one of the first around here and also on this thread/forum that got these so all i knew was to go with what TSW "recommended" . as you know our cars are stock with recessed tires. i couldnt believe how sucked in they were when i put on my originals again so that i could have blizzacks.

well the short of it is i think i have +35 on one end (rear) and maybe even 40 on the other (front). this without spacers is way too tucked in. i found some 10 mm spacers and brought everything out to past where stock is but still a touch under the fender. i was not too happy about TSW's "recommendation". like i said this spring when i get everything back on i am going with some more permanent spacers to come out flush.

my guess is that to have the rubber flush with the car fender you need 20 all around. (if i remember right the rim only comes in 20,35, and 40) but this is going to give you a monster lip both back and front. i am not into that. i like the staggered lip with less up front and more in rear. i think you would be best to have +35 all the way around and then use an over the shelf spacer from NAPA or something like that to do the rest.
