Default Silver Roadster owners!!! (or Silver Coupe)

I know another what wheels should I get thread right??? But I am so torn right now with what wheels to get. I am running HP 19inch 8.5 Front 9.5 Rear. They are a mesh style and hyper silver. I am looking to change to another 19 and am selling these off but have no idea what to do. Some that I am looking at are...One thing I know is I want a BIG lip.

Volk
Racing Hart
HRE
Axis


I have looked through the wheel galery but there are hardly any silver Z's and just about NO roadsters, what is the deal with that??? Please any silver roadster owners post your wheel pics and give me a hand. Even if you have a silver coupe that will be fine too.

I attached what I am running now....

Thanks ALL!

If you want fat@ss lips, then you want to go with HRE, but they are expensive. Or you can go with Axis, the cheapest. The best I think will be RH J5 or J8 or Volk SF series or GT series, they all got some fat@ss lips. But it all come down to which style you like the most and how much can you spend.

Thanks guys. I have about 3k to play with. I was thinking about some Volk GT-C. They have the simple 5 spoke look but a little flair with the groves on each spoke and the dish seems pretty deep. I wanted to get something a bit more unique than the Volks but I am starting to see why so many Z people have them, they just plain kick ***! I am leaning towards those. I guess the standard set up is what the wheel companies are telling me.
Front 245/35 Rear 275/35. I still have a night or two to think it over....


DJK....I had a valet guy damage the two right side rims and I put in a claim to them to raplace them. I told them my wheels were out of stock and they were going to take months to order. The guy said ok well we will buy you a new set then. I said UMMMMMMMMM.......OK, LOL!!!!!!! He told me to get a quote for the wheels that would replace something similar to mine. That was it....Pretty cool hey. I am going to have them repaired by a great company here in Fla and sell them to my bro for 500.00 or something like that. They only have 6k miles on them. Great shape besides the valet accident.

SixRB6,

Your ride looks SICK! I do like the GT 7's for sure. I didn't know the lip was that much bigger than the GT-C's though. I thought the whole GT series had the same size lip. I was thinking of going with silver instead of a smoke or hyper color to brighten things up a bit. I know it is personal taste but sometimes when I look at my HP Hyper silver wheels they look dirty from break dust but they are actually clean. I think the gun metal look looks better on SS color not regular silver. Oh well, one more day to decide, lol.

Thanks guys, nice looking cars!

BTW guys...what do I need to lower my car for the roadster and how much are we talking? Is it necessary?
