Hi guys i was looking around for some rims and i came across these rims on ebay...check them out and tell me what you think, or if you seen them before or have them, i would like your inputs, thanks

Also, if i do get rims, i want to be able to put a big brake upgrade kit on later...do i get the rims that will clear brembo's? will that clear a 14'' big brake upgrade kit later on? more specificially Rotora. I want the most lip but still be able to clear a big brake upgrade kit later on. thanks for your inputs ahead of time.

Those rims are real nice in black... i know a fellow G owner who purchased the same Modular wheels in silver, they were good looking and you definitely cant go wrong for the price.

Careful about the offsets. If you get Tein Flex and lower the car...its possible that the flange of the coilover will cut into the sidewall of the rear tires. I had a set of 19 10.5 +35 with 275 SO3's and the rears were sliced. Now granted the rims are .5 less...but depending on the drop and the type of driving, the camber angle will change.

Personally yes they are nice rims....but I would save the money and get a better "name" brand rims for strength and durability. How are your road conditions. Bear in mind that no matter how cheap anything is...if it doesnt last like one that was double its price....now you will need to save up 3 times as much to get that better rims. Also...lower offsets would be more aggressive and possibly give you the look that you are after. Unless you want the rims to be tucked under the car.

Just my thoughts though.

+35 won't clear big break kits. The offsets should be in low 20s in order to clear big break kits.

cool thx guys, so what do you guys recommand that looks like those but yet good quality, good brand name? volk?....also how does offset work, its the distance from the lip to the brake ? so the lower i go the more lip i get to clear big brake upgrades?

For G/Z owners, the most popular rims by far are the Volks. They seem to be good quality and fairly light. They aren't cheap, but not ridiculously expensive either.

Personally, I really like DPE's....

Fake multi-piece "style" rims are pretty lame imo. Even if you go with a cheaper rim, avoid fake rivets please!
