This one?

I want my SS to look like the white Z. I'm still debating whether I paint the trim black or charcoal along with the door handle.
The OZ wheels are also more affordable than the Work Meister wheels but look similar.

Your going to want 15 to 20mm spacers all around (roll fenders, lower car more). They are nice looking wheels, and OZ is a quality brand.

Since its a popular style, why not look for something with:

ÂºStaggered Fit (After fitting 9.5's, I have realized 10" is min-spec)
ÂºMore lip (A flat face wheel requires lots of lip to look good)
ÂºLower Offset
ÂºMoar lip

"produce first.talk second."

Staggered fit = more $$
more lip = more $$
Lower offset= spacer

Only if you run less than +10 on a 9" wide wheel with low. A -1.4 offset on a 9" wheel with no drop does not need a roll. (Of course this is on a kuoki.) Enjoyrth runs 18x9 et -1.4 on his SS.

great wheel for the price, regardless of the spacers required (if that's what you're getting them for). both in looks and quality.

much like the mustang-bound wheels I'll be getting sometime this winter, and having them powdered gold in the center as well.
