if lowered something like 19x9 ET25 front, 19x11 ET10 rear maybe? wat do you run, alchemy?

To be honest Forgestar doesnt make the optimal offsets. I went as low as I could go front and rear. 19x9 ET20 front (just about perfect, if not perfect) and 19x11 ET23 rear. Rear leaves a little to be desired. ET20 or 18 would have been $$$ It def wouldnt hurt to throw a 5mm spacer on my rears.

I think the M320's are even more affordable than the Forgestars, no??

Yes, it's less, it's just the width on the rear, 11', maybe a bit too wide.

I am looking at the Forgestars 14, it looks pretty good, and the price is still around my budget.

Until I can afford (justify dropping a large chunk of change on) these, I'll make do with the wheels the car came with.

Great wheel at a GREAT price. Cool colors to choose from as well. I worked with Eric from GETYOURWHEELS.com. He is on the forum, very nice guy. I have some other pics in my album if you're wondwring what they look like on a Z.

LunaZ, that wheel looks like pure sex! :)

Pulled up to the drive thru window tonight and here's how it went:

the cashier dude was staring and smiling at me......for a full three seconds. THREE SECONDS. Not a word did he say.

Then, out came "I LOVE your car! He even went so far as to lean out the window to give it a good back and forth once over!

I was all like, "well thanks a lot dude!" :tup:

And then he said...... "are you married"? :wtf2:

When I replied "yes", he responded with a "geez, I've got to get me one of these."

Funny story :icon17:

Call me crazy, I'm not a fan of going through drive thru's in my Z. After scraping my old set of wheels in a drive thru I don't even risk it and just go inside instead.

I couldn't get them off but got them loose and pulled out. The keyless entry button I couldn't remove all the way. Its held on by two small phillips head screw. They must have had lock tight on them because they wouldn't budge any and I ended up stripping out the head on them on both sides. So I'm going to start to spray them today. Only had enough time to tape everything off.
