Right now I'm leaning towards the matte metallic blue. Going to do a horrible fotochop to see what it might look like.
Matte Blue... on the PW....
it's always difficult to find a color which tone nicely with PW...

Hi Alcheng. I bought them for use on the track. I want to get an even softer tire than stock for use on the track. Also don't want to wear down the stock tread(what there is of it) when tracking it.

20X9 and 20X10. Will have the same size tires as stock. 275/35/20 front 305/35/20 rear. Might go up to 315's if the tires are available. Looking at Nitto's

You have 275 at the front, will the 9in too narrow?
You can go up to 20X10 & 20X11/12

Looking good Mr.happytheman..!!
Should I just go with satin type black and then if Gale ever sends me his brakes I can do candy blue calipers?

Sounds like the right size Isa. I posted incorrectly in that they are not the same size as the stock rims, they are 1 inch narrower. The person selling them said he used 275 and 315's.

Satin Blk or Gun for the wheels, and your color of choice on the calipers.
This way the color combination is more balanced.

I will def go wider (11 or12) on the wheels if the tires are 275 & 305/315.
We put 275 on 19X10 or even 19X11, I can't imagine putting 305/315 into a 10in...

but I forgot what I type already... :bowrofl::bowrofl:
TSW used to make cheap wheels but they raise the bar alot these couple years and now consider one of the very good quality brand and good price.
I was looking at this brand too when I was shopping for wheels, most of the feedbacks I've read is good. I suggest you can go for it.
The weight for a 20X10 is about 29lbs.
For that price, I think TSW is very good value, cos a set of Enkei will prolly cost more.
I checked the Nurburging before, it's very light weight, and for a set of rotary forged wheels with that price it's very hard to beat.
But eventually I found a picture of a Z fitted with those wheel and I was like.... :icon14: wow... now the Z looks like a hotwheels... :ugh2::ugh2:
If you don't mind single 5-spokes, take a look at this one:
TSW Tanaka, comes with 20X9 & 20X10.5, Rotary Forged.
I like your wheels Alex I had seen them in person at the one meet :tup:
As for the weight of the other wheels I am not to concerned about that as I am not going to be doing heavy tracking or anything it is more for aesthetics. I am more concerned about the quality of the rims for when I do "push" my car (on the track of course :rolleyes:
Then again I can't even make up my mind! I find my self still looking at other wheels and then back to Nismos again and then full circle to every other wheel I have liked while looking:rofl2::shakes head::ugh2:

Use them for track days.
The stock wheels are much nicer.
