Hello fellas, help me out here I'd appreciate it. I want the rear to bit more wider than stock and the front as well but not as much as the rear. I'm trying to archive this goal, see pics. I'm running 20mm front 25mm rear. Do you think going for 19x8.75 +15 front and 19x10.75 rear +15 will be similar as the pics below? im going for the xxr 530 chromium black. If there another manufacturers that make these kind of wheels let me know..i wont spend no more than $1k

$1k...total? I'd be surprised if any $1k set of brand new wheels would be of any kind of decent quality.... and I am resident cheap bastard on this forum. That being said, contact forum vendor getyourwheels.. he should be able to set you up with whatever and tell you the specs you need for the look you want.

XXR makes absolute garbage wheels. They are a downgrade from stock if you have Sport wheels. If you have Base wheels, spend the $1k on a set of Sport takeoffs.

In Before The Move to wheels section.

You are trying to ask several questions at once.

It would be best if you break your thoughts into individual questions so it is easier to understand what you need.

What suspension are mods running?

I had the miro type 112 $999 shipped, almost identical to these ones when I had my rx8 it is been 5 years and they still look new..no bents, cracks whatsoever..i mean at that price, I dont consider a set of wheels cheap. i was looking at the f14 forgestar and they told me it will take 6 months to produce them..

I just bought a set of BC's coilovers and 20mm front 25mm rear thats about it..

The wheels you have posted will not give you the concave look that the ones on the Corvette have.

If you want that look without a huge cost, you would be better off getting some Forgestar F14s.

I would also recommend getting proper offsets so you do not have to use spacers.

Contact getyourwheels, they are very experienced in Z fitment and will give you the best prices and best advice.

wideglideleon · 07-21-2017, 06:37 PM

I agree with Cooltoy 100%

The problem about getting the f14s is that it takes 4-5 months to produce and they cost almost two grand..I'm going to try to see if I can find diff wheels with the same specs that they told me to go with the f14s..

cooltoy · 07-22-2017, 12:21 AM

Well at least you go the specs now. Would you mind sharing those?

I will keep an eye on the for sale forum. A used set might come up.

cooltoy · 07-22-2017, 12:27 AM

Forgestar F14 Las Vegas

cooltoy · 07-22-2017, 12:34 AM

Here are some possible options, but you are not going to get a descent set of wheel fro $1000.

SC-8 Slate Grey Wheel - Stance Wheels

Vertini Wheels | Wheels | MAGIC

If you are on a budget, I would look for a set of factory Nismo wheels. Don't cheap out.

cooltoy · 07-22-2017, 01:26 AM

They will be no less then $1500-1800.

cooltoy · 07-22-2017, 02:21 AM

I personally do not like how they start out flat on the edges and then curve in in the middle. I like the concavity to go even from the edge to the middle, like my wheels. But it everyone has different taste.
