How deep is the rabbit hole?

I am staying out of this one. Only one person on this thread truly knows the wheel game...

Do your research everyone!

The Targa Z wheels no offense, in my opinion look much better then yours design wise. Now that is obviously opinion, but your pretty much telling me its ok to overpay when you can get the same quality??
i saw the targa Z in person it looks ok but the wheels to me coulda been better. maybe need to be painted to give it a better offset. But I love the targa z and its supercharger.

Jamaica, I am not 100% sure about them, but I know they brought that wheel just regular brushed to just have for the show. That Z is actually going to be getting concave, from what I have heard.

That wheel was also a test design, some things like specifically the rivit positions will be changing from what they tell me. Apparently though the wheels were nicer then you guys say, b/c I have had 3 different cars order that specific wheel(in different colors of course) b/c of that car lol so it did its job thats for sure.

At the end of the day, its about YOUR taste, no one elses. If you like a style, buy it and enjoy. Almost every company will have its issues here and their that someone does like, but customer service is the biggest thing these days. If you dont take care of your customer, why would anyone want to buy your stuff then?

Those were my thoughts as well... the offsets seemed a little weak and the brushed/machined finish seemed too raw to me (I am not a fan of the brushed look). But that was their choice in wheels and they are happy with them so thats all that matters. Dean and Amy have a great set of wheels and I look forward to seeing them sport their new wheels at meets

Those offsets are perfect for someone that does not want to pull their fenders or run negative camber. You guys are different, what they have coming in the next 2 months lol will make both of you quite depressed.

jamaica and bullit have some of the most aggressive offsets on the forums. most people's idea of aggressive probably looks sunken in to you

obviously, offset is a taste thing, but i think the look that most people are going for is 'flush with the fender' when the car is lowered.
