which konig are you looking at getting, ms. pint?
Mr.kenchan.... maybe it's the sidewall, it just look so bubbly along with the contour of the G... looks like it can float on water....

A low profile might help..

I can't save up, it would take 2 1/2 years to get the ones I want and I'm not waiting that long.

According to Mr.kenchan's info, the Deceptions are 18x8 and 18x9, it's even narrower than the OEM.

With those offset, you will have to put in spacers on all four corners, that's another $200, you don't want to mess up your Z with the cheapy one...

Pint honey~~~

I strongly suggest you hold off the idea for now....

It seems you can spend a little to fulfill your wish, but it might end up a bigger nightmare....

the Deceptions appear to come in 18x8 (ET20 and ET40) and 18x9 (ET35) looking at discounttire.com are those the only sizes available?

those offsets aren't going to look right unless you're willing to work with spacers and lowering. ET20 will have poke, ET35 for rear at 9" width will look too conservative.

honestly though, get spacers for your stock wheels and lower it if you want to get the most out of appearance with minimal funds. otherwise, just leave it stock and save up.
