USW Forged Crossover on my 370Z
 
I just installed my custom painted USW Forged Crossover on my 370Z. I like the fact that they are constructed of high quality 6061 aluminum alloy and heat treated to a hard T6 condition allowing maximum strength for a lightweight wheel. I was attending the Formula Drift competition this weekend at the Texas Motor Speedway and saw a drift Viper with the USW Forged wheels. Good enough for me! LOL

So what do the USW Forged Crossovers look like on the 370Z? After numerous communications with Volk Z (great knowledge regarding offset, stance, lowering, etc) we finally ended up with this. Thanks so much for all of your help Chad. The Crossover's are gloss black with color matched Z Red pockets and strip.

Well what do you all think?

Style is good, Forged is good, Paint is NOT for me

Fitment looks good.

Volk Z 09-18-2013 04:11 PM

I'm glad I could help, I like them as they look much different then the normal wheel on a 370z. The split spoke is a great complimentary design for the 370z.

The offsets look great! Did you go 9.5 width with a +15 front or +22? The rear looks like either 10.5 width +0 or 11 width +10?
Also what tires sizes did you go with? The front looks a little stretched... 245 width up front?

I did exactly as you advised Chad as follows: "I would recommend going with the following width and offset 20x9.5+15 (tire 255-30-20) and 20x11+10 (tire 305-25-20)." They are Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110. I plan on dropping the front a little more to look like the rear. Can't tell you how many folks at HIN like the Crossover and the setup. They loved the 11" rears big time! LOL
Thanks again for all of your expert help.

Set up looks good to me and you're right, the front could use a little more drop and.......the rears could be raised just a little bit. Unless you want it really low.

Beautiful!

I would either lower the front a half inch or get a front lip... If your brave do both. The stillen front lip would work nice for your set up.... Inexpensive and easy to install :)

Ok after looking at the car here is what I would do to make it POP.
Stillen front lip
Black out headlight housing (MRworks or one-eighty)
Vinyl wrap roof in matte black and do mirrors in black as well.
Color match the door handles
Cost to do all around 1000 bucks give or take :)

I'm excited to see it then! The black add ons will bring out the black in the wheel nicely.
Keep me posted on the progress!

You can see in my old 350z in the pic below, as you add more colors or carbon fiber on a car it allows more contrast which then makes the car POP more :)

Waiz 02-20-2014 06:12 PM

Personally I would have gone all black spokes and left the red stripe around the wheel

Fitment looks good though

GetYourWheels 02-20-2014 10:16 PM

Fitment is on point!

You know kenchan this 370Z belonged to my wife and she lost her battle with cancer last year. So I decided to build a tribute to her and to make people aware of the disease that took her life. I am doing what I think she would have liked in modding her Z. I find your childish attitude on the forms unacceptable and the fact that you have a following is even more disturbing. Well I have made the decision to contact the moderator and ask him to remove my name from the forum because I just don't have time to be dealing with children that lack the respect and behavoir that is considered appropriate in our society. Unfortunatly, the vendors that pay to be part of this community will suffer the consequences becasue I will not have access to their information to purchase their products and I do have deep pockets.

First off, sorry for your loss and that's a great way to pay tribute.

I didn't read anything into Kenchan's post other than some gentle ribbing. Now that we know the whole story, it was inappropriate. I don't think any offense was meant. Certainly not to the point where you would remove yourself from the community.

Oh, now it makes more sense. Kenchan, for lack of a better term, kenchanned up his other thread too. I can see how that would be um, off-putting, to someone new to the community.

OP, don't judge all of us by the actions of a few. Especially not that one. :rofl2:

im real sorry to hear about your wife, but how the hell was i suppose to know about your wife reading your odd ball threads? :confused:

your threads are no different from other confused newb threads. i stand for integrity on this site and valuable info. your threads do not add much value.

Sorry to hear about your loss.

We need to kill the beast. I recommend creating a scholarship fund in your wife's name at your universities medical school to fund medical students who want to go into cancer research. This way you fund the army that will kill the beast and your wife's name will live on for ever.

If you choose to fund raise for the fund annually (a silent auction for example), it will make you feel like you are doing something for your wife every year (if it is an annual event). When you are looking for sponsors for your event and you tell them about your cause, you will be talking about your wife, her fight and you will feel like she is with you all the time.

Unfortunately I am speaking from experience.

Now you did it, you made me cry.

It'd look really menacing with blacked out headlight housings and door handles.
Cool wheels.

Cars looking sweet ZeeRed... whats the ride like with the 25 profiles on the rear?

it kind of rough but mostly because the BC Racing coilovers damper setting is too stiff. I am careful going over RR tracks and stuff like that. Potholes can be a killer.

cooltoy 02-23-2014 08:50 PM

The first picture is not very flattering, probably due to the flash. But in the last one at Oracle Lighting, the car looks really good.

Agreed as I do need to get better pics to show the Z.

Thanks Zee. I think that with the amount of potholes here in the UK, i will be better off going with the 30 profiles.
