I give it a 5. I'm not sure if that photo is chopped but the low profile tires make it look ugly.

I dunno but I've always been a fan of gold volks on white cars... in fact someone has some 20s for sale right now:
Volk 20" Gold GTC If I had a white car, I would have gotten these already.

you'll probably get better assistance from the forum if you give an idea of how much you're willing to spend on wheels, and what you're trying to do. there's a variety of options you can go with that i think suit the Z much better than those. volk / advans are popular choices but run pretty steep. you can try some of the other vendor recommendations - strasse, forged specialties, venaci, vossen, etc. it all depends on where you're taking the car.
to me those 5:AD look good on some cars, but for the z they are a downgrade from the stock 19" sport rims. maybe a 4/10. |

OP, I think the ones you originally posted are at least 8's, those look good. In 20's they'd look great.

As you can see, everyone has different likes and tastes...get the wheels that you like best because you're paying for them and at the end of the day, you have to be happy with your choice.

I would have to rate that a 4. In my opinion, the Z needs beefier wheels. The thin spokes are just too little and take away from the overall image of the Z.

Thats what I was thinking when I ordered mine the small spokes don't look right with how chubby the car is.

The 5AD wheels are actually pretty nice looking, imo. From what I understand they're a bit heavy, but that's to be expected with a cheaper cast wheel.
Here's a pic that does them a little more justice.

Definitely a nicer picture of those wheels. I don't mind the thin spokes...shows off your calipers and discs a lot more, especially when spinning.

^^ yah, that doesn't look too bad but the car is lowered and have other bits on it that kinda pulls focus away from just the wheels. (aka cheating)
![]() kidding aside that doesnt look too bad. not my style of wheels though. |

It's definitely different. Obviously, with the right stance and offset, many "ugly" wheels can look "good".
![]() I think these are some unique wheels, though- that's kinda rare in the market these days, imo. |
