USW Forged Crossover on my 370Z
I just installed my custom painted USW Forged Crossover on my 370Z. I like the fact that they are constructed of high quality 6061 aluminum alloy and heat treated to a hard T6 condition allowing maximum strength for a lightweight wheel. I was attending the Formula Drift competition this weekend at the Texas Motor Speedway and saw a drift Viper with the USW Forged wheels. Good enough for me! LOL
So what do the USW Forged Crossovers look like on the 370Z? After numerous communications with Volk Z (great knowledge regarding offset, stance, lowering, etc) we finally ended up with this. Thanks so much for all of your help Chad. The Crossover's are gloss black with color matched Z Red pockets and strip. At Hot Import nights-Houston TX At Oracle Lighting of Houston Well what do you all think? |

I'm glad I could help, I like them as they look much different then the normal wheel on a 370z. The split spoke is a great complimentary design for the 370z.
The offsets look great! Did you go 9.5 width with a +15 front or +22? The rear looks like either 10.5 width +0 or 11 width +10? Also what tires sizes did you go with? The front looks a little stretched... 245 width up front? -Chad

Set up looks good to me and you're right, the front could use a little more drop and.......the rears could be raised just a little bit. Unless you want it really low.

I would either lower the front a half inch or get a front lip... If your brave do both. The stillen front lip would work nice for your set up.... Inexpensive and easy to install Ok after looking at the car here is what I would do to make it POP. Stillen front lip Black out headlight housing (MRworks or one-eighty) Vinyl wrap roof in matte black and do mirrors in black as well. Color match the door handles Cost to do all around 1000 bucks give or take

Keep me posted on the progress! You can see in my old 350z in the pic below, as you add more colors or carbon fiber on a car it allows more contrast which then makes the car POP more
