Twarsop, you can sell them here on DRIVER once you have enough posts. Checked out our MARKETPLACE, there's a set of '06 coupe wheels polished f/s that look very nice and also G37 wheels that would look great on your OB coupe. Beaverton, Oregon my sis used to live there....cool town! No wonder your coupe is wet in the pic....

Hah, that's for sure! We had a two day streak earlier this week where we didn't have any rain. I was shocked.

Thanks for the opinions all. Even if people don't agree with me, or those who are biased for whatever reason, I appreciate your honesty and even your passion for your/others cars. I've got some PM's in the works from a couple sellers here, and after searching and seeing some pics of other OB coupes with the wheels I was thinking, I think I've got it decided. No spoilers, but once they are purchased and are on I'll for sure be posting some pics. Additional information/opinions always welcome.

Cant compare these replicas to the real thing. Side by side comparisons will show how crappy those replicas look to the real thing.

Enkei makes some nice wheels and they also make some crap wheels. You can tell by the different price levels. They are trying to capture more market share than your high line manufacturers.

Whatever makes you happy though, we are all enthusiast for the most part and what makes you happy should be what matters. But consider getting a used set of nice wheels.

Have you considered a set of Five Axis : SF 5's? They're a similar price a look a lot more expensive that what you're looking at. The Tenzo's are alright, but I'd definitely look at the Five Axis or Axis Pentas.

Check out this link. It's the top rim. I'd recommend a matte black or gunmetal. It looks great mounted on the Z.

While those look nice, they aren't my style. Thanks for the suggestion though. I commented on your post too.

Okay okay. I've decided on the Tenzo's. Now I need input on either the matte black with the TA strip or not. I think the TA would add a little bit of color to the car and goes well with the tail lights. On the other hand, the matte black would give it a sexy stealth look. Input please!

I would like to say that the no stripe looks more up scale than the one with the red stripe therefore, without. Again this is just my opinion.
