Aren't the tsw's knock offs of some other wheel? I really don't know as I only keep track of a few wheels that I like.

To bad those wheels will probably turn into a crunched crunchy taco on the first hard bump you hit, as they come in good sizes and offsets.

Godspeed wheels and Godspeed Project suspension parts are totally different companies, guys. Don't get the wheel reputation confused with those ebay parts, even though Godspeed Suspension has recently proven itself at the track.

Personally, I like the Godspeed Omega's ALOT better than the TSW Thruxton's because the Thruxton's:a) Aren't available in 18x10 size.b) Don't have nearly as many finishes as the Omega's.c) Thruxton's have a 3.5 inch lip versus the Omega's 5 inch lip.

They have good offsets and weigh about as much as 350Z Annaversary wheels (about 25 lbs or so). If I were in the market for 18's, I'd rock them in a heartbeat. Kind of a no brainer. If you like the style and they fit good, get them. Who cares what other ppl think?

What is up with the blind hate? There are G35's, 350Z's and 1000hp Mustangs running around with these wheels. I don't thing mounting them on an S-chassis is going to make then any more explosive...

If that is true then I retract my previous statement, but anything with the name godspeed is going to automatically get a bad rap as there are a good number of people out there that have had problems with their stuff. They are working to improve quality, but it will be a while before I willingly buy anything from them other than a inter cooler kit or an exhaust. It still wouldn't surprise me to see godspeed(the suspension company) making knock-offs of knock-off wheels that are crap.

Sorry buddy, some LSx swapped guy beat you to it. Saw this just this morning on Zilvia:

I'd like to see a slammed S14 with the 18x10+22's all around and 255/35/18's though.

God damn that S14 is ugly. Monster truck height with tractor tires. And that exhaust is hideous. One of those magnaflow mufflers is nice, but two looks stupid.

I don't think even the proper stance would help those wheels either, the overall design is pretty ugly.

Jesus, that whole car is a mess.

I have to agree with you, lol that s14 is kinda fugly. But I dont think the rims look that bad. It's just the way that s14 is set up that makes it look ugly. I personally dont like the way anything over a 17 inch wheel looks on an s14 or s13, but thats just me.

Yes yes, that S14's stance is an abomination before the eyes of God, but I still think the wheels would be pretty good looking with a better stance.

Yeah, it's not A+ fitment, but its more complimentary to these wheels than that S14.

IMO, they look undersized/too small for that Z, buy yeah... The less wheel gap the better.

I think the rim size would be fine if the Z was lowered a good bit.

They do make 20x9 and 20x10! I bet they'd look better on the Z33...

^^^Yup. To bad they don't make a 19x9.5. I like Z33's with a 19/20 stagger... :naughty:

But the 18's are great for S-Chassis. :dblthumb:
