DZ's you should buy these wheels thread.

1970's Gragar SS wheels off my dads 1970 Buick Skylark. Been sitting in a cellar for almost 20 years.
16x10 and 16x8 I think. Wouldn't look that great on a Z but it definitely says muscle. Attached files

Yeah, I kind of get the feeling you don't understand the point of this thread.

Hopefully I am not also missing the point of this thread…

I was/am looking for wheels for my Z; need some wide, lightweight racing wheels. (Also checking out prices for when I buy my Q45.) Most of these I would never consider [for my Z] but looked good/interesting, so I am passing these links on if you are bored.

"perfect" minus curb rash hahaha

The GT-R rims were thrown in for funsies… 3.2k? LoooL Why not9t the ARs? Legit racing wheels; says so in the brand name. I found 17x10.5 +27 set of Cobra Rs but 3 sites said they were between 29-32lbs. Way too heavy IMO. Was also thinking about Weld S71 in high pad 17x10.5. Not sure about $2k price or how they compare to others. Most other lightweight quality wheels are 18s.

Well hardparking arguments aside, I think the main objective of the selection here is what would look/fit nicely on a Z… just because it fits, like a 17x6 rim or 14x10, doesn't mean it should be here

This thread is form over function, you know no one is going to go drifting (aka offroading) with ordens or kranzes, likewise a good looking heavy $400 set of cobra's are a good deal

DZ naturally wants everything to be 10" (isn't that what she said?) and herrafrush, but even so, no crap in here please :P

The thread was originally intended for me to repost wheels that I wanted people to buy and put on their z31.

It's not werkin

Which is why my volume of posts in this thread have dropped off significantly recently.

I have been really digging the Wed Kranze Bazreia lately. Not sure if they really provide anything more than the LXZ's but toying with the idea.



What I really need to do is get some new side skirts and re-work some of the rear suspension and fenders to even the car out a bit (currently running 1" of the natural rake). Would be really cool to run 18/19 stagger, but I dont think any areo available would be aggressive enough.

I've been looking for a good set of Bazreia's for a long time. Almost had a few sets but the cash wasn't there

Good deal for the 4-lug crowd…

Yeah, I really like the machine/brushed finished faces with the polished lip. Awesome contrast. The polished finished faces are just too much.

My rear coilovers are bottomed out with a tad bit of sag using a helper spring (half way compressed with no load) since tossing on the LXZs this past spring. I drop off type dips, like the bad ones after bridges on interstate, the car does hit the rear bump stops. Only in extreme cases, so I dont want sag them anymore. I think a new damper will needed into the rear to get the extra inch I want. Thus far I have had no issues with the inner fender portion, but by guess that will need to be addressed if I go any lower. If I increase camber to -3.5* and add a slight pull I think I can fit 12" and a full 1" to the rear lip from my current state. Not that the current state is a slouch, but I know it has more game in reserve if DZ or anyone else steps up their game

Right now the only stepping I'll be doing is out, not up. Maybe that's just the snow talking though.
