Seems expensive for 8.5/9.5 widths. Quality looks cheap too. I suggest brands most on the forums have heard of and you can get a wider set for almost the same price. Try Avant Garde, Forgestar, TSW, and Enkei. If you got a bigger bank and want light, high quality wheels then go for Volk or Work.

P.S. I got my set of Avant Garde M310 for -/+$150 of that price. They are 9.5/11 widths too. Seeing skinny *** tires on a Z makes me sulk.

** Please keep in mind that this is solely our own opinion like you asked for. The overall decision on which wheels to get is entirely upon you and you only. We (the forum) will not criticize and hate you for whatever decision you make. However, remember that I am in Houston like you and if you go skinny tires I will go crazy. Thank you and have a nice day! **

... For a couple hundred bucks more, you can get a used set of 19" Volks if you know where to look. Volks = lighter, stronger, way better looking. Just my two cents I guess.

Lip with bolts looks too narrow or something - looks too busy w/ polished rim reflecting bolts.

Those are still narrower than the Sport Rays rears.

Try checking out Getyourwheels (google that cuz I think I'm not allowed to post links). They are a vendor here on the forums too. Most of the brand names they carry are reliable. Be sure to put in your car on the search so it shows you the wheels that are compatible with the Z.

Not like I want to spend all your money but coilovers are much better investment. You will be able to adjust the dampening, height, feeling and tons more vs. Spring.

BC coilovers are only like 900 bucks and are better investment. If you have the cash go with HKS or KW variants
