those are dope wheels man!

in for mounted pics :yum:

They look better than I ever imagined they would. Can't wait to see them mounted on the car.

It was a pleasure dealing with you :tiphat:

Typically wheel finishes look the same in any angle and lighting, unless it's polished like the lip.

I don't quite know how to describe the Formula Silver finish. It looks like gunmetal at a certain angle and lighting, but the color becomes fairly light at a another angle with brighter lighting. This is a very nice color, and it definitely beats having gunmetal. Because of this finish, I had a hard time taking accurate pictures of this finish.

Thanks again Ryan!

those will look dope on your car. congrats!! careful of curbs!!! =x lol

yeaaa there they are! get them on!

:yum:

those are beautiful...

Gorgeous, and very unique. Formula Silver is a very rich color...something in between silver, and gunmetal with a lot more depth.

:eek: MUST POST PICTURES! :tup:

Those are going to look great!

Dont just talk about it without showing the rims on the car man!:pics:
hate waitin...:shakes head:

The more I look at GT-S's the more I want a set. I think the Z34 looks the best with a nice set of 5 stars anyways.

This might be a taboo thing to do in a thread like this, but what offsets did you get?

Don't hurt me. :wtf2:

should be 33 upfront and 25 out back...

According to the invoice, it's +40mm for the front and +8mm for the back. The front requires 10mm spacers to clear the calipers since this is the closest offset for the 370Z.

WoW those are way off from what i thought...:ugh2:

I think another guy got 35 and 15 from the same shop.

Hahah yea I'm not very good with offsets. The Volk LE-37T on my 350Z were +22mm on both. My dad has a set of 18" SF Challenges on his Z32 with nicer lip, so I'm very happy with these wheels... nice lip to compliment the fenders without looking overly exaggerated. I'll try to order the tires next week and get them installed during Christmas break (i.e., time off work).

yah i think i was thinking of the volks offsets...

usually higher upfront and less outback...

man one of these days ill make up my mind on rims...:ugh2:

Haha I fell in love with the GT-S when they first came out. In fact, I liked the SF Challenges, but I didn't like the rim texture and numerous screw heads.

Post #1 edited with some more detail pictures.

Bare with me... I'm trying to see if my friend is sure about buying my Sport wheels, but I may go ahead and order tires next week.

are you thinking about keeping the sport wheels and mounting winter tires?

I don't think so. I had my 350Z for over 6 years. At least 4 of those years I had the LE-37T and never went back to the ugly 17" stock wheels even through winter time! Crazy eh? Haha... other than some mishaps (curb rash, but fixed), the wheels still looked beautiful.

What wheels are you looking for?

idk...

volks
rota
vip
etc...
:shakes head:

im very undecided att

Those 3 brands are completely different man. No offense, but neither Rota nor VIP should be mentioned in the same sentence as volk...

Rotas are cheap and low quality, VIP wheels are bling and Volk is super high quality and elegant designs...

they look sick.

how big of a spacer you need to clear away from the front brakes?

Fantastic!

i think he was trying to say he doesnt know what kinda look he wants to go for, u know? style, performance.. etc.. i think thats what he meant.

there are times when i think the same think all the time.. low price performance, high price bling blango

Ryan@Forged recommended 10mm spacers for the front wheels. I was concerned about the stock studs sticking out, but then I realized with the smaller holes on the wheels were for. :p

lol thats why i did it...to show how undecided i am...

although i really dont want to fork out 3 grand just for wheels...no offense to those that do...

Those rims are hot!! You get them mounted yet?

I haven't ordered tires yet. Weather has been bad so I don't quite want to ruin the shine with these wheels just yet. At the earliest, I'll try to get the wheels mounted later this month.

BTW... were you on MY350? Diesel and Florida... has a familiar connection.

in for mounted pics :tup:

I'm sure they are going to look hot when you get them mounted. Did you have to pay extra for the special custom finish?


Yes I am still on my350z.

I can honestly say I hate you, those are "tooooooooooooooo sweet" -Kevin Nash voice

I'm torn between GT-S and SF Challenge

My dad has 18" SF Challenge on his Z32. They're really nice wheels, but the design on the outer edge is too busy. The GT-S appears to be an evolution of the SF Challenge wheels as it is so much cleaner, and the spokes have a nice edge. Although some might say these wheels are "played out" because of its popularity, I'm perfectly happy making the switch from LE-37t. The only down side with these wheels is that they are heavier than our stock Sport wheels (as well as the LE-37t)

[EDIT] Tires ordered... looking forward to get them installed in about a week.

My tires arrived last night, so I'm pretty psyched for Saturday morning. My dealer will be doing the work. Since they do work on the GT-R, I hope they can work on my wheels with care as well.

Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110
255/35 and 285/30

These tires are a tad smaller in diameter than my stock ones... I'm afraid my car is going to look a bit weird.

I'm very excited to see how these look on your Z
