i hate to be that guy, but im just not feeling it. sorry. maybe the polished look on black face look is overdone? maybe coz the car is begging for a drop? or maybe im just being a snob and not digesting a non bbs or volk wheel? to each their own, sorry to rain on ur parade

No offense taken.

Didn't want to go too extreme with the drop since most my driving is within inner Los Angeles.

As for the choice of wheels, I didn't want to be another sportscar with BBS RS or TE37's . I actually wanted the Advan RS-D's but they didn't look all that good in real life as opposed to pictures.

does the z try to track with the 255s up front? hows the handling now, does it feel better in the corners/general driving improved or feel the same?

Oh and were you in your Z at the time? I can only recall two Z's(both black,) once at Vermont and once at Alvarado.

i'm at those places very often - i'm pretty sure it was me that you saw. I go to king taco, and i live on hoover and venice. I havent seen any black Z aside from mine and yours yet.

they look awesome love the sizes ! how does it drive and whats the offset ?? also does the front tire look stretched ??

molamann

Front : 20X9.5
Rear : 20X12

Far as driving, no real difference between these and the OEM's. No stretching involved.

when you put eibachs on molamann, did you also put on cambers or not?

Yeah just got my cambers done @ Amplified yesterday and got my alignments done today. Had to go to a "real" alignment shop because Firestone didn't have a clamp big enough for my tires.
