Thanks for the pics everyone. I REALLY like the GT-C's, so thats what Im going to go with. I know he will like them.



Hien, I live in Clearlake, so Im down this way most of the time, although I do go to Houston atleast twice a week (have friends out that way).

Both look very tight..And i'm sure your friend would like either of them since he will be switching from the stock 18's to some of the best rims out there... Dang your seem like a very nice guy helping your friend out like that hooking up his Z..i would personally go gunmetal gt-c with 19.9.5 fronts and 19x10.5 rear.... the fatter the lip the better the look..Then with some tein coilover setup, one of the best performance suspension you can get... And you invested in some stock is that right mind telling whats hot right now..always trying to look for ways to hook up my Z...

GT-C's are my least favorite of the Volk line. Wait for the Progressive's to hit.

If you were a real friend you would get him some HREs...




J/K, a set of almost any wheels is an insane gift from anyone! Most friends are lucky to get a case of beer. Ill be your friend any day of the week!

I'd put my 2 cents in for GT-C Gunmetal. That will give you the polished silver lip but a nice midtone center.


+27 front, +22 offset fit the non brembo if you're going 8.5 front and 9.5 rears (that's 1 inch wider than stock) And you're guaranteed to fit without needing to roll the fenders.

Coilovers are your best bet for the suspension. Tein Basic are cost affordable and very high quality.

I'd talk to the TX crowd for the types of tires you want on your roads.


Nice car collection btw.

Well, guys/gals, thanks for all of the info and pics. I ordered the GT-C's along with the coilovers today. Thanks again everyone! Im off to Italy for 2 1/2 weeks so I wont be on, infact since I dont own a Z, I probably wont be back on here anymore, but I will send my buddy over.
