ZR+520 Wheel Questions

I am really liking this wheel:

http://topspeedautosport.com/index.p...roducts_id=435


Seems like a 18x8.5 with the 25mm offset should be very close to the 18" oem setup. Plus it fits the 225/45 front and the 245/45 rear.

Anyone see any issues with this or have any input on this manufacture?

I have a 2006 Coupe LP and think the gunmetal would look better than the chrome silver option on these wheels.

5Zigen makes good rims for the money. I have the Gravis 1s and love them.

The offset is what I am wondering about the most.

20 vs a 32 on a 18x8.5 which would be closer to stock? The 20?

rastaman:love that look

Thanks

I guess thats my question then. Which would be 'more' flush with the fender the 18x8.5 offset 25 or the 37? The wheels that came on the car when I got it seem like they sit in to far. Those are 18x8 with a 35 offset and I would like it to come out more.

thanks

I have some on my 240sx.... they're pretty damn good wheels. I hit a concrete thing (pretty much a curb) going about 60-70mph direct wheel impact. It broke a bunch of parts on the car (tie rod, control arm, spindle etc), but only barley bent the rim..... I highly recommend them.
