Yay or Nays? Appearantly these only come in 25mm offset or 45mm offset. Being an A/C, 25 if out of the question. What kinda lip size would it has if it comes with 45mm offset? Thanks

the ones on this car would have 45mm ?

Those are not bad at all. The black (2nd pic) is probably of the +45 offset. My guess would be about 1"-1.5" at most.

What diameter are you planning on and how wide are they?

These goes up to 19x10 so the 19x8 should clear. The guy at the shop told me I should get 20s because tires cost more on 19 cuz 19 is an odd sized? The gunmetal one looks like the lip is also the same color right? I kinda liked the black/polished lip trend but this black isn't glossy and it might seemed to be played out a lot already

Yes, polished lips are a little played out. I'm sure within a year, that style will be outdated. Why not go with the Nismo 18's? If I didn't have my wheels, I'd definitely jump on them. The 5-star classic look will never go out of style.

And 19x8 +35 to +45 will clear with no probs.

Sure, after I buy my set The guy that was selling them locally lowered the price and I was so tempted to pick them up. The only reason I didn't is because you saw my garage; there's absolutely no room for anything in there. I have 2 sets of wheels laying around with a whole bunch of other stuff like a Jeep, speaker boxes galore, and a slew of other junk in there. So I had to pass Too bad it's over here because he was only asking 1G w/almost new tires!! I'm sure they're gone by now though, but that was THE best deal you could ever find.

Ooh yeah, GramLights are nice too! And you can't forget my all-time "dream wheels", the VOLK TE37's

If the TE37's came in silver I'd be all over them.

Here you go, Tyler:



How's the gunmetal



Man, just posting these pics makes me want to buy a set. I absolutely love my wheels, but I'd give them up any day for a set of TE37's. The 19's are going for $725 a piece!! That's $2900 for the set without tires!! But, it is worth it considering you're getting THE best set of wheels ever made. Super lightweight (19x8's weigh 20.5lbs) forged badboys

Generic, I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with your polished lip fad comment. Most wheels with an aggressive offset (enough to create a lip) have a polished lip. It isn't like wheel manufacturers just decided a year ago to start polishing the lips on wheels and next year it will be played out. IMO a polished lip sets the rest of the wheel off because it draws attention to the wheel in the first place.

Yes nismo (rays) and volk wheels are very nice, but it is hard to pull the trigger on $4000 for wheels and tires. But with respect to the thread topic, I actually like the look of those Tenzo's but definitely not in black...THAT look is played out

Darius, I think Generic was agreeing w/ me about the black wheels w/ polished lip and he forgot to mention black wheels I wish they'd make this wheel in 35mm offset so I can get some of that deep dish look

Finally found a car that had these wheels on, they're 19x8

Look silver in the sun

Black in the shade

Not so great straight on, but then again, most wheels are that way

Yes, I meant the black w/polished like Johnny said. It seem like every other G35 and 350Z has that look these days. Not to mention, 8723898 Scion xB's
