Definately get the Matiz with the wider ones out back. Those other rims are for front wheel drive type cars. Dazz Matiz are dope.

Default Dazz Matiz

I would go with the Dazz Matiz they have a more GS look than the RHs. Both wheels are very nice but the Z5000 is more suited for a import racer than a GS. Also the back wheels of the Matiz will look alot better because of the deep lip, the RHs will not have any lip which will make the wheel look narrow from certain angles.

265-275, you would have to use a 35 profile on 18" wheel to get the direct diameter. and 245 would have to be 40. correct me if i am wrong.

If they're staggered then they're not for FF cars. FF cars go same size all around.

The z5000 has imitated spokes from the Zeit SS wheels.... just in 5 spokes instead of 6. Matiz is also an imitated design off the Intensive Hulk from Japan. Both looks sporty IMO. 7 spokes, kinda everywhere now.

Actually, I think the Matiz ARE the Intensive Hunks...Dazz just imports them and put their own cap on there...I know Dazz does this for nearly all their wheels...It would be cool to get the orginal caps for the Matiz (that say "Intensive" on 'em).

DEFINITELY the Dazz...there is QUITE a bit of price difference though...

The RH Evolution wheels don't have the correct widths for the GS (or LS or SC for that matter). I think the widest for the RH Evo wheels is 7.5"...

My opinion, go with the Dazz. With 18X10 in the rear, it'll have a nice deep lip to it.
