This is kind of the internal struggle I have been having with these lately. They look really nice, but I would feel the extra weight :\

I had 19" avant garde wheels on my 07 BMW 328i and loved them. They were heavier, but its not enough to bother me. I don't track my car. For dd the avant garde is straight style And hopefully they'll make my z get even more looks than it already does. To each their own but the avant wheels aren't that heavy.

I absolutely love the look of them on our cars, don't get me wrong. I think those are going to look dead sexy on your Z without a doubt. No disrespect meant with my comment.

But hell, what do I know...Im considering XXR 521's so yeah.

I want some opinions because I'm in a predicament. My new wheels are going to be gloss black and I'm stuck on some other black accents to add. I recently removed my tailight tint and black emblems because I had the car washed and they tore my tint so I just peeled it off and went back to a more "stock" look. I have the fangs and rear diffuser painted black. I just don't want to have too much black, but with black wheels i think i need accents. So my questions are:
1) Should I tint my tailights again?
2) Should I get roof vinyl? (super glossy) I really want this.
3) Should I plasti dip my emblems black again?

I know the saying to each their own and ultimately it's my decision, but I would look other opinions to help me.

I really don't think that is too much black accenting. I am considering the roof vinyl. I am going to have my emblems shaved. Tailights aren't my thing, but I don't think they look bad. I think you should go for it. Sounds like it would look pretty good. Gratz on the rimz

Thanks for the input! Best of luck on your z!

I saw a white 370z on the road the other day that had the gloss black roof, rear diffuser area, and fangs both blacked out and it looked really good in my opinion. Granted he had polished deep lipped wheels rather than black wheels but I think it will look really good. If it were me I would do all of the items you listed other than the tail lights. Another one if you are ambitious would be the headlights. I think PW housings with black bulb housings would look killer and it is different from the standard blacked out housing people do.

Very true thanks for your opinion! I've thought about doing my headlights later down the road. Silver housing with black shrouds.
