Default Thoughts on this wheel......on a 370Z??

I saw this on one of the other Lexus forums. I know some people will hate it, some might like it.

Just for curiosity's sake more than anything else, how would they look on a 370Z? Looks like those OEM Lambo Gallardo wheels. Obviously not a pure race look, but maybe quazi VIP/sporty with low offsets?

Someone good w/ p-chop?

They do have more of a luxury look to them but depending on how you set your Z up they could be pulled off.

I think they're hot. The problem is that the picture of the black one looks like black/machined aluminum (which I like), but on the website it looks all black. I think the black/machined look is very elegant and sexy.

It seems from the sizing chart, you can go more aggressive with the 19s, as the offset can go as low as -22. The 20s can go to 13 wide, but offsets are more limited

19s front and rear w/ more slam might be better.

Would be dope if someone bought a set for their 370Z, slammed it, and did a VIP style setup.
