I just ordered mb weapon wheels from discount tire. I was going back and forth between these and the weapons. I'm second guessing my decision after seeing these on your Z. They look great... I received the weapons and they aren't half bad
Either but due to there design they are going to look smaller than yours I think. Seriously considering maybe returning mine for yours but The weapons only weigh 21.4 in the rear 18x9 , I like that because they can be used as a track wheel. If these are light weight too I may steal your idea .. Sorry ! Ha

just curious, how come all of you who went with winter setups decided to go aftermarket for 18's instead of using the stock ones? was it the width or wanting a square setup or something?

this is my primary reason, but also, finding winter tires for 19"s for a reasonable price is tough.
Also, I actually like the stock sport rays so I'm going to stow them away for the winter, and use them when the weather gets better. It's also easier to just swap between two sets of wheels, rather than changing out the tire... I don't have to go anywhere to get them changed, I do the work in my own garage. Today I got my first chance of driving in the snow (although briefly) and I must say I felt very confident with these wheels. |

I test fitted one of the rears today, and It was better than I thought...
It will do for the winter and for the drag radials next year... Looked better than I thought it would... It wouldnt be worth the 100 in shipping and and 100 price difference for just a few months and 1k miles of use... I didnt take a pic with the rear actualy on the car, my phone died right after the first shot, the guy threw it on after that to test fit it, here are two pics of the MB Weapons just laid next to the car though( 510 shipped 18x8, 18x9 black friday sale ) , sort of resembles te's.... neither of these wheels look bad for a winter wheel...

Definitely a good look for the winter. post up pics when you get them mounted... I'm interested in seeing how these look. I think part of the reason I hated how it looked on my altima was because of the huge wheel gap. It's not really an issue with the z so I suspect it'll look good.

i have the same tires, with the studs - amazing in winter! Also i found winter tires for the stock wheels but they where $829 each for rears and $549 each for fronts. Thats my cost price at my dads fountain tire in edmonton. I was able to get a wheel for a 128 bucks a wheel, 18" five spoke http://www.formuladistributors.com/ go to new arrivels - scroll to the bottom i bought the ar8 -3181 in gun metal. My setup was 1200 all in, but i mounted and balanced my own so add another 100 bucks.
