  • Work VS XX

    Can anyone photoshop these wheels on a z. I want these but, want to know what to expect when I drop $1200+ on them. I love the huge lip on them and was thonking 8.5 up front and 10 in the back, but have no idea as to the offset I need.

    A good view of the lip.

      Those will be my rims for the occasional drag run and the street. I'll either use the TSW's that are on the car right now for the track or get some cheap wide older mesh BMW rims. I still think those wheels are pimp tight dog. :wink:

      I wouldn't think they would create enough drag to hurt the car.

        Those look nice. Similar to the ones on my roadster.

          Drag? :shock:

          My friend had those wheels and I tried them on once. Fit the look of the car well. Definetly get 18's if you get them as they don't really look right with a higher profile tire.

            i can photo shop them for you might look a little wierd because the wheels are at a slight angle but it still should give you an idea, pm me your email or if you have one your AIM screen name.

              Just stand back and throw money.
              Performance costs money.
              Reliable performance costs more.

                      GE and Bum- Are you even serious about this wheel lip drag thing?

                      Start to finish is it a useless subject. Be done with it.

                          Doesn't matter what you drive, you always pay the price when something happens.

                          Premiums
                          Deductibles
                          No insurance at all
                          Doesn't matter

                          The money just doesn't fall out of the sky.

                          Why fit out a building for $100m? The steel is only worth $20m.

                          Should change topic to "useless arguements by frown face."

                            consider the time effort and money involved in modifying your car in any manner, the insurance company pays out their set price or agreed price minus a few things like deductibles and such.... at the end the lost value on a claim will be much more for a new car, at a minimum $1k, more likely several thousand.... enough to cover the cost of the new shoes?
