6MT... That was an original design... I have seen the cad drawings myself. Also the spokes are not even in thickness (they taper and are a mesh design) all the way through. Also gt40's aren't concave.... Back on topic.

- 5 spoke wheels on the Z show too much of what's behind the wheel IMO
- Silver lip gives appearance that the wheel is actually smaller than it is

Not a fan of either

I feel ya bro... That's why I say save up. You can get regular forging wheels for around $4k even Japanese 2 piece wheels are $4k now a days... So darn expensive!

If I'm saving up for something expensive... it's twin turbos.

Plenty of Japanese options wayyyy less than $4k brand new

There are also a ton of used options too, no reason to settle for the lower quality knockoffs

Even used wheels are $3500 which i can barley justify since I don't know who hit a pot hole and who didn't and there is always some kind of chip/scratch on them. If i spend that much on something i want it perfect.

What Japanese options are there for wayyyy less???

I understand this
I can't justify 3-5k for wheels, especially when I think the stock rays are sexxxy

I just don't care for the choices you've posted, they look tacky.

$3,500 for used wheels? Where are you looking?

Expect to pay around $2,500-$3,000 (with tires)

You could also go with an new option like Enkei RPF1's or SSR Type-F's and not have to break the bank to run a set on your car

Edit: here are some examples of correct pricing:

Please pass...

I was originally looking for the Volk GT-S/GT-C and I fell into the mindset of, "Why spend so much for a wheel" and almost got the Vertini Drifts in Gold. However, I ultimately did snag a nice set of GT-S off these forums, courtesy of Chris for around 2k.

If you don't wanna fork out the monies for a serious wheel brand, but you want something that looks nice and will get the communities approval check out the Avant Garde M350:

It's funny...i was looking at those yesterday. I was also looking at the Axis Shines.

Not crazy about either.

And Vertini sounds like it should come in a glass with an olive.
