Nissan 370Z Forum  

Any particular reason why these wheels aren't more popular with 370z guys?

I personally think they look great on our cars. Debating between Work Gnosis Gs2, TE37 SL or these (AME TW-02)

I know there are a few people rocking the AME TW-02 on here. Im 90% sure Spohn is or was rocking them. They are great looking wheels but they are hard to come by.

They were discontinued for a short while so hardly anyone had them

From what I believe they have been reissued now but they aren't promoted by like other wheels are

They look good for track wheels, but I can't see them for anything but.

Especially when there are Volk RE-30's or Enkei's that look the same, if not better.

I always thought it was because they weren't produced in large numbers and that made them hard to find/source. I think they are great looking wheels, one of the best for the Z34 IMO. If I had the coin to get a set and swap on my RE-11s, I would do it but the spaced SP Rays keep me very happy.
