Perfcectly assumming you use 16 x 7.5 all around even the 8.5 will probably work but the rotation problem.

If you're buying used make sure they measure in spec as many are warped out of round from hitting curbs and quasi straightened without measuring.

Simple test do the wheels themselves without tires require more than 5 grams inside or out on the fine setting.

Aren't the 16x8.5's used in the rear with the twin-turbos?

I'll be using the 16x7.5's all around. I'm sure the 8.5's will be a lot more expensive too, especially chromed.

Yes! Nice wheels, if you can find them in good condition and not bent up! I gave up looking after a while ...Quote » I'll be using the 16x7.5's all around.

You can get them in the $80 to $100 apiece range used, where the 7.5's tend to be about $20 each less expensive.

I agree, you are right about finding true wheels. I've picked up 6 wheels to get a true set of 4. The other 2 are not in terrible shape, however a little off on the inside of the rim. Now I wonder if there are center caps I can use to replace the Z logo.

They are not chrome :-( but will do. Does anyone know what each wheel weighs? (z and stock j30) I will have to pull out the scale at some point - (just being lazy).
