MOZ wheels -- (Pics on car added)

Anybody here have any experience with MOZ forged wheels? From what research I have done they seem to be part of the MHT/FOOSE/etc. conglomerate, and TBH most of their wheels are way too ghetto for my taste.

However, I found a set of forged two-piece mesh style that I feel might look nice on a G35 and are similar to a few other styles I have seen. (If I recall I think they weigh approx 24lbs each) Any info, opinions are appreciated. Here is a picture of them. FWIW the car they would be going on is Black Obsidian.

I personally don't have any experience with them but they look great.
Just remember they're going to be a PITA to clean where the lip meets the spokes.
What are the offsets?

Sorry for the delayed reply, I ended up buying these and just got them in the mail yesterday. Tires on order from TireRack as we speak, specs are 20x9 +35 and 20x10 +40. Went with 245/35 and 285/30 for the tires. Only difference between the ones I got and the picture is mine have a machined lip which I plan to refinish this winter to a high polished finish to really set them off like the ones above.

I'm a bit apprehensive since I can't really find too much information on this particular brand, so hopefully they hold up. Either way I got a killer deal. Now all that is left is to make sure they clear with the Eibach drop, people seem to be running 10.5 inch rears with +45 on Eibach's with no problem on the G37 sedan forum (specifically Vossens). I am assuming since the body is essentially the same the offset clearance will be the same as well, time will tell. According to the 1010 tires offset calculator, my 10 inch wheel +40 will allow for an additional 1mm clearance inside the fender over that setup.

If all goes according to plans these will be getting put on this weekend with pics to follow

Had a chance to get these installed the other day and figured I would upload some pictures for everyone to see. I am slightly worried about the poke in the rear, it's more than I expected, but we will see how it tucks when the pro-kit is installed. Let me know what you think (I know it needs a drop).

Do you think this will rub when I drop it? I'm a little nervous about it rubbing, especially after all the research I did it would be brutal if it didn't work without crazy camber.

Does anyone know if the g37x has the same fitment for wheels as the g35x? I figured they would and that's the reason I went with these specs because my 20x10 +40 should be almost identical to 20x10.5 +45 according to online calculators. Hope it will all work out for the best, opinions/predictions welcome!!

Brutal honesty is my policy so here goes. I do like the wheels but don't know anything about the brand. Even though you say you did a lot of research it seems like you still didn't really know what you're getting into. I would have gone for a skinnier tire in the rear which would have given you more room to play with as far as tucking tire goes. Not sure what kind of drop the Pro-Kit gives on a 2nd gen X, but you're going to have to run a decent amount of negative camber to clear the fender, my guess is more than -2*. Your tires will naturally camber in when you drop it so that will help but you might need at least a rear camber kit and definitely some kind of aftermarket toe kit to get you back into acceptable alignment specs. Also check your fenders for clearance, I know the 2nd gen came rolled from the factory but if you end up rubbing at all they might need to be flattened. I'm curious to see the outcome of the drop so keep us posted and good luck.
