Let me know what you think, I guess I might as well start a thread in the general discussion area now. I had been debating for a couple days now if I should or shouldn't but I still can't pick!

Not crazy about the 5 spokes

lovin' the other choices tho

Clarify: solid spokes are last....split spokes first

Love these cars

As you can tell I am a HUGE fan of concave wheels

yah, those split spokes look good. but i have to say, im real happy with my nismo wheels. i might get a second set and paint them in KAV.

I know something about the Nismo wheels gets me and I would colour match them like my OEM 40th's are and I would still want run spacers for that extra flushness I love! So if I go the Nismo route probably just gotta change my spacer setup from 20/25 to 20/20 - IIRC

If I went the 5-split route I would obviously just try to buy the right fitment so I wouldn't need spacers.........

I am pretty sure I need spacers for my NISMO since she is dropped. they don't sit quite right.. lol

but man.. if you had a MB Z, what color would you PC some NISMO wheels

there is a big offset difference on the front when compared to sport 19's and nismo 19's. even though the nismos are ET41, they appear like ET32 if sport 19's (running 15mm).

so you might need to change the front spacers too if you dont want it poking out when looked at from the front.

anyway, im at stock height and the nismos are prefect fit with no spacers imo for base body style.
