i dunno man just cuz you're z looked good with enkei's doesnt mean his will, from what i've seen the only wheels enkei offers in good sizes and offsets are the rpo3's which are ok looking and the rpf1 and those are not very visually appealing and they dont offer a lip at all. in my opinion enkei wheels are ugly for the most part. but i havent seen yours so i wont judge your car. but for the record i'm sure that vs series works will turn more heads than any enkei wheels

Clean red 1991 2+2 n/a., no exterior mod's, only 1999 Fascia, and rims. Few examples: This guy in a Corvette broke his neck looking when I passed him on the opposite road. A nice looking babe said wooow when I drove past her. So many stories for an old vehicle.Pulled into an Applebee's lot, and everyone turned heads.

Look for the Enkei brand designed as such, because your vehicle is red, like mine.
i doubt the guy in the vette cared about your slow z.

Slow Z...huh? because it's an n/a, yes it has it's limits on hp. However, it has enough power for me, and it looks good. That's all I care about. The guy in the vette was obviously impressed with it. Every guy in a sports car is not always thinking about racing D-Wod. Let me teach you a lesson. Okay you have twin turbo, which is good on straight away. Tell me...who can't drive straight? Even a 7 yr. old can do that. "NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT"The best skills are in turns, and straights together i.e. AutoCross, or Euro racing, not that b.s. continued left turn, or drag strip. The skills are in the driver not the car. Just like the skills are in the pilot, not the plane. You can fly an f16, and I could be in an f4 and still fry you.

I did some checking and it looks as if that brand is not offered anymore. I get compliments every where I go. At this point my Z is getting a re- leather interior. I want to post a photo, and tried so many times, but, they want you to register for some type of website.

yeah you would need to have some type of photo sharing website account if you want to post pics off of your computer but they are free. just go to photobucket and make an account then copy the image links onto here and they will work. but yeah i'm not doubting that you get compliments on your wheels i get compliments on my sportmax's and they are still cheap wheels, and i dont even like them anymore. i'm just saying put some vs series works or som ame's on your car in the right offsets and i can gauruntee you'll not only get looks from random people but you'll get more looks and from the crowd you want to get looks from .

well you said he "snapped" his neck. u had to have been going pretty fast. but either way i know youre exaggerating. and your excuse to saying youre a better driver than me because you have an NA? that doesnt make sense first of all. i'd think youre just a little jealous you dont have any boost not that this matters for the driver, but my z is well maintained and modified with many suspension upgrades. if you were boosting, you'd understand and love the feel of the pull from turbos. i aint gonna lie, i love to drive straight. youre not a better driver than me, you dont even know me moron.u'd need binoculars if we ever hit a straight at the same time.so dont go off telling youre a better driver than people you dont even know because you have an NA, because that makes no sense at all.

how much are those wheels? and what are the size and offset? i personally find them cheap looking and uninteresting. if these wheels are any where near 1g you should just get some rota p45r's or some 5zigen fno1rc's in a low offset they'll look WAAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER on your z then those!

Anything forged. Otherwise you're wasting money....unless of course you just want to look at your car on some fat lips instead of drive it. Nothing like adding 40 lbs of unsprung rotating mass to the equation!

its all personal preferance but i'm assuming since you think fno1rc's and p45's are bland that you're not a fan of jdm wheels in general...a +22 will fit fine.... but damn 1800 for those.... i wouldnt do it, they look heavy as s*** too. what brand are those? for $1800 i hope i've heard of them before.

i personally think rpf1's are ugly, they don't offer a lip at all regardless of offset and they just look like stock wheels...

lol first of all, if youre so into "jdm" (which our cars arent). you'd know the AME company is a huge influence on the jdm culture. 18x10.5 with a 22 offset is at 20lbs. they are "semi forged" wheels. the knockoff rota's arent really for my taste. and i dont feel like throwing a 285 sized tire on a 9.5 width wheel. i've always been into the slammed look with my cars. for example, my last car was a dropped 350z. and for tommy who's helping me. yeah i figured i'd need to roll the fenders anyway...i have a way to getting em' done and thanks. i've only had this ztt for about 6 months and i never see anyone with a nice sized wheel. i dont see many people go wider than 9.5 in the rear. and while they have offsets in the upper 30's and 40's. i'm not too conservative with ride heights at all.

actually ame circlar spec r's are some of my favorite wheels, i'm not familiar with everything ame does but i wouldnt say they are a "huge influence on jdm culture" lol and you called rota's knock offs the ame tracer tm02's you're buying are knock off rpf1's the circlar spec R's are knock off gram light 57pro's and the tracer fs01 are knock off work emotion cr-Kai's. its pretty hard to have an orinal wheel design these days pretty much if you're not buying a big name you're buying a knock off of a big name and theres nothing wrong with that. and for the part about z32's not being jdm.... since when is a japanese car not allowed to be jdm?

there is a pretty big difference between the rpf1 and the tm02. and our cars arent jdm, they werent made in japan. it was built in the US and isnt even LHD.thats what alot of ppl do in japan and other places. the whole "OG" jdm look. but i really dont think the rpf1 looks anything like the tm02. yeah, theyre dual spoked, but there are alot of dual spoked wheels. doesnt mean you can call it a replica.they concave:

mines were volks racing gram lights 57pro. 18x9 front and 18x10 rears. they are as wide as it gets for the Z's... though i'm sure there are bigger sizes.

regardless i think the wheel you chose is nice. i've seen A LOT of really bad choices among Z community (and NICO)looks similiar to one of many of articdragon's test wheels
