Thanks for sharing

Thanks! G2s look really nice on a 370Z too. Be sure you know whether the set you are looking at has a lip or not. The 19" G2s come both ways. The 18" and 20" G2s only come without a lip. In other words flush on the edges. Personally I think the G2s with a lip look smaller. I also have a set of Formula Silver G2s that I had on my 370Z and that I have used on my 350Z some. They have much more of a lip, especially in back. However, to me they appear smaller than my black G2s that don't have a lip.

Does the lip have a functional purpose or is it just for appearance? Thanks for including the pic of the 370z with the G2s...that definitely sealed the deal for me. Very nice!

No the lip has more to do with the offsets and the fact that traditionally many Volk wheels have come with lips.

Thanks for the info...I think I will now read up on offsets. I never knew owning a Z would be so stimulating to the brain!

The original G2 (matte black ones on the 350Z) don't have a lip, but the G2 V2 has a lip and look a lot more like TE37 in shape. I prefer the original G2 as well. If you go from a flush spoked wheel to one with a lip, you need to go at least 1 size up otherwise the lipped wheel will appear smaller.

I think that is one reason I never thought my Formula Silver G2s (V2) looked as good on my 370Z as they do on my 350Z. Because of the lip they looked too small for the 370Z despite being 19" wheels. I wish I could have tried the Matte Black G2s (V1) on the 370Z. I bet they would have looked awesome. Unfortunately I sold my 370Z before I purchased the Matte Black G2s.
