New wheels and not really sure about them.

The only reason mine are so aggressive is due to the fact of BBK face on mine causing me to run -3 camber rear and I still hold stock camber

The only reason mine are so aggressive is due to the fact of BBK face on mine causing me to run -3 camber rear and I still hold stock camber of -1.8 in the front. Running a normal face wheel would require less camber. Kevr runs less camber than me and has the same offsets. He also has a larger deep dish then me as well.

There is so much more to picking out the Perfect right size then just width and offset.

What we are giving you are guidelines to the possibilities... and simply just recommendations.

For custom wheels and perfect offsets there is much more that goes into it than width and offsets.

We just joined, but I am not a fan. Lexani is just not a brand for these types of vehicles. We sell Dpe, Jline, Axiom Forged, and Volk for these types of cars. We have customers ask for this stuff, and we always try to convince otherwise, b/c it just never looks right.

Those wheels look ok on a Mercedes, but I don't think they would look very good on a 370Z. They are too busy looking for my tastes.

Ugh... Not feeling it... The star look is not for our cars, I would go for Volk or Rays. You can't go wrong! I don't think you need to drop your car. If you do, you'll invest in more money and problems...

For the love of god, please sell them/get rid of them. Go with something like TE37/RE30 if you like forged wheels, but since it seems like you want something with lip/bling, go with Work VSXX/KF or Meister. SSR SP3 looks great on 370Z also.

Definitely need to go. The stock Rays are much, much, much nicer. I agree with those saying that that brand (and others like it) don't work with this car.

Ah.. looks so ghetto, even though they probably costs alot. I'd rather see base stock wheels on your ride.
