From now on, 1. No quoting multiple pictures
2. No side conversations about fitment, ect. If you need to know something that can't be asked in one post while continuing sharing pics, make a new thread.
3. I swear to God, if anyone so much as thinks the word "S13" in here, I'll lose my cool. This is a Z thread.
:wavey: Thank you! From 12 pages down to 7... lol! That's alot of BS to cut out!

Oh trust me, some of these are running ALOT more camber than I'd want to run... But as a whole, I'm liking how most of them came together & the vision that the owner's were shooting for...

I liked the gold XXRs that the silver TT had, but now he got kinda out there with the fitment lol, still a badass car though.

The red one has wayyy too much camber for my tastes, but gotta respect the fitment

overall id say they're some nice looking cars

The silver Z didn't have cheap xxr's they were work VS-XX's and yes they were amazing on the car. The red car is running a 12" wide wheel in the rear which is why it looks retarded.

It's well done, no lie. I think that car's just very well done. I'd personally like to see a stock hood on it, but that's just because I like sleepers. I am considering the GTZ lip though.

A stanced car looses the sleeper look imo regardless of whether or not the body is stock. I just usually figure if they did the suspension work they could very likely have done the engine as well.

I'm thinking of a letter followed by two numbers. One of those numbers is a 3. I'll give you three guesses, but you'll only need one :rotflmao

HRE wheels are in my opinion THE most beautiful wheels in the world but I would never buy some unless I won the lottery or was making well into the six figures and here is why.

"HRE 595RS 3-Piece 18 Inch Wheel $1,499.99" as seen here: http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/590r ... _6835.html

That's right thats 1.5k a piece or 6k for a set

They're OK, but IMHO there are much better options. Those are the wheels you get when you have too much money and have a diaper rash from wiping your a** with Benjamins.

Since beauty is in the eye of the beholder there is no point to argue (which I don't think anyone is) but I still think that those 595RS s are HOTTTTT, the HOTTESTTT wheel in fact. if I had the diper rash I'd have a set of different HREs on every one of my cars (because I'd have many in that case).

You're right, I'm not arguing, they are purdy wheels. :bigthumb:

But they are overpriced like nothing I've ever seen :eek:

in one word, Branding. They are very good wheels, very well made, can be had in a number of custom offsets and styles but the OTS ones they sell are basically because of the name and prestige of owning them.
