19" Katana ZR-5 ~Gloss Black~ Opinions?

So I'm looking at getting some fairly inexpensive black wheels for my black coupe.

I had to photoshop the picture cause there is no photos on the net (that I could find) that were the gloss black with polished lip.

I think they would look good, my only hesitation is they come only in 8.0 in wide, no staggered avail.

Opinions

looks clean man, even though you cant get them staggered, blk on blk usually looks really tight in itself.

I agree...very clean looking. But if your mind is set on getting a staggered set up...move on to another wheel. Be patient and find the wheel and set up you're looking for and you won't be second guessing yourself all the time.

Definately, I looked at wheels for months before I decided on mine, but once I saw them, I was hooked. For me, Volk LE28N in Gloss black. They look awesome on a black G. I have a couple of pics in the black G wheel thread, but I need to take more, those didn't come out well, my camera freaked out with the Floride sun reflection off the car.

I've been looking at wheels for a couple weeks, I'm spending too much time when I should be working - need to just decide.

I'm going with these unless someone can tell me if I will lose any performance with non-staggered 8.0in wheels? What are the stock width?

StVincent,

What makes them poor quality? Do they dent easy in potholes, are they just heavy...?

Everyone on this site seems to have Volk, Maya or RacingHeart wheels - I'm looking for something less expensive and different.

Any wheels come to mind?

Thx

Would love to, but the price of these rims is almost half of what you're asking.

I'm only going to have this car for less than a year, then upgrade - I don't want to poor money into rims.
