The deep dish is about the best thing I can say about those rims. I usually love five-spoke wheels, but those taper too much or something--just not doing it for me. Plus, chrome is a big no-no for me. But, just for a better reference, I chopped them on for you (quick chop, but you get the idea).

Not my style. But, if you like it, who cares what we think.

I've seen those in a local shop in DC area. I was going to get them because no one has them. They look nice!!! I would get them because everyone has rays, racing harts, volks, and so on. I have not seen them on a Z maybe the first. I can get them around $2800 with tires in 19s. They would look tight in SB. Good luck!

those would look about as good on a porche as they would on a z....not classic/sporty enough for me....but to each his own

I'm a fan of easy to clean chrome (from the old school I guess) but those look too ..... uhmmmm ... Flowery.... is the first word that comes to mind ........for the Z. But I agree that if you like them and it fits your theme for your car then go for it.

If you like them , go ahead, but they look like they
re pretty heavy, it will take the life of your breaks away and also , your call will be less responsive to throttle meaning that it could become a lot slower. plus our suspension would wear a lot faster. Consider the practical sides of things before ou buy the rims.
