Not a big fan of HP Racing wheels, but if you can afford them, go for it.

personally, i would not get them as i'm not a fan of mesh type wheels. but they are pretty affordable.

i've seen them on a couple of z's, they look alright.

I've seen "backagain"s wheels too....they look really good....
I am not a fan of the mesh style wheels either but after seeing them up close on his Z I think I have changed my mind....They look pretty good!

can you tell me where your finding the HP racing wheels for $1000? what offsets do they offer? i thought my axis milanos were a great deal for staggered 19's but thats an incredible deal. i wonder if theyre really heavy or what the deal is?

That's a sweet deal for those rims... in the end, all that matters is what rocks your boat.

i would honestly be looking into a set of thos if i didnt have my milanos already, you cant beat that deal.....do you know what offsets they offer? you really want 20mm front/rear in the 8.5 & 9.5 widths.........any less & you get a "tucked" look.......
