The black wheels are ok, I dont like wheels that bulge out like that instead of being flat. I know you get a bigger lip when their built like that, but it just reminds me of cheaper cast wheels. You definitely know what your doing figs, excited to see the new stuff after the cool picture of the sun going down that you took, you def have an eye.

Thanks man,
The more important thing that you get with that design is caliper clearance. This is the most important thing I think with any custom wheels as it was the hardest for me to characterize since its an intersection measurement. To be honest that was the thing I was holding my breath on, because I knew the other measurements would be close enough.

Figs I hope you dont mind, but since I am in love with the Z I frequent their forums and one of Forged Specialties dealers put up some before a shoot pictures or something, its pretty crazy, though lol I doubt were lucky enough to get fitments like that.

I love the style and color of the wheels on that Z. The fitment appears very precise as well. I don't like the size though...way too big...looks like a hot wheel toy.

Fig is it possible to fit a 295 on the rear without doing anything to the car maybe in a 20 inch

yes certainly. It has been done. My main goal here is to find abs max fitment and then create a formula from there for proper rim width per wheel and offset. It will also depend on the drop and what other suspension components are installed.
20x10.5 in the rear is no problem and perfect for a 295.

+1! These look pretty good, although IS F fitment won't be that concave I suppose, but looking forward to seeing these on the IS F, as well as the SC-6 posted earlier.

That's awesome. Looks like the Morr VS8s which are hands down my favorite wheels out there. (up until I saw these wheels on the Z!)

Sorry, I'm a 335 fan boy too. (my other car)
