Has anyone seen 19x9.5 +12 or even 19x10.5 +22 TE37s up front with Sport brakes?

I think spec jay is running a +12 setup up front. Not sure if he had sport brakes though.

Clicked on four random pages in this thread. You would think Volk only made black wheels. I hate black wheels. They really have no style and at a distance they all look the same. That's just me though.

Harsh dude... lol. Black looks great on all cars. Literally throw a set of black wheels on any car and they look amazing & aggressive as Fu. Now colored wheels look great too but they're a little harder to match with certain cars. When its done right, its great. But I think we've all seen too many examples of not done right.

is.... is that a porsche? Bitc* got style.

EDIT: Yes... Yes it is... I just noticed the porsche symbol in the center caps. Dear Jesus someone painted/hydrodipped/something flowers onto OEM wheels.

I'm running 19x9.5 + 12 up front and holy **** is it close. But it clears. I'm talking can't fit a folded dollar bill between.

This pic I'm posting was before my sport brake upgrade so don't say I don't have them lol. Ill try to get a good pic of how close it is tomorrow.

Thank you, I'll search for his Z.

Awesome, I appreciate it :tiphat:. I was almost positive it was going to work because 19x9.5 +12 fits a 350Z with Akebonos. Do the wheels stick out considerably more? I understand it sticks out 10mm more compared to a +22, but is there any rubbing or a lot of negative camber required? Thanks again guys!

Beautiful, thanks MUST. Do you have pictures that show how much, if at all, the wheels, especially the front, stick out from the fenders? Something like this:

I have Akebonos on my 350Z and went with 19x9.5 +22 TE37s thinking the 19x9.5 +12 wouldn't clear. Not even a week after receiving my wheels from Injected Performance, I realized I was wrong. I was so upset :shakes head:.

/Angelo350Z/ 08-16-2013 08:05 AM

By the way, I would like to get a finish that's a bit darker but in the same color spectrum than the '13 Sport wheels. What Volk Racing finish would be the closest? I haven't seen Formula Silver in person, and I'm definite Mercury Silver is too light. Titanium Gunmetal perhaps?

Back in 03 it was cool. Made your car unique. Today they're played out, IMO. But, like I always say, "It's you car, if you like it, go for it." It's just when you go to a car show and just about all the cars have black rims; BORING...

Anyway, Happy Friday all...

Black wheels will never be played out.
