Thoughts on this wheel......on a 370Z??

The_Zed_car · 06-09-2009, 02:45 PM

I saw this on one of the other Lexus forums. I know some people will hate it, some might like it.

Just for curiosity's sake more than anything else, how would they look on a 370Z? Looks like those OEM Lambo Gallardo wheels. Obviously not a pure race look, but maybe quazi VIP/sporty with low offsets?

It's the SSR Vienna Merisia rims. SSR Wheels - Vienna Merisia

Someone good w/ p-chop?

i like them. but those lugs around the wheel are a little bit to bold

They do have more of a luxury look to them but depending on how you set your Z up they could be pulled off.

I think they're hot. The problem is that the picture of the black one looks like black/machined aluminum (which I like), but on the website it looks all black. I think the black/machined look is very elegant and sexy.

i'd want the spokes flat black and the nuts flat black also...and leave the center cap and lip shiny.

DOOO IT!!!!!! Just make sure you get them in 20's and go for the biggest lip possible!

I'm not feeling them.

It seems from the sizing chart, you can go more aggressive with the 19s, as the offset can go as low as -22. The 20s can go to 13 wide, but offsets are more limited

19s front and rear w/ more slam might be better.

Would be dope if someone bought a set for their 370Z, slammed it, and did a VIP style setup.
