Got my new wheels today...check it out!
These are Foose Speedsters 19" 8.5" front and 9.5" in the rear. Not sure on what the off-set was but I'll find out if anyone wants the info.... so far they fit great. I'll also post the tire size if anyone wants it... I do know the rears are 275's Fat as Hell!

what size tires? are they overall the same size as stock or are you sacrificing mileage and speedo readout?

Ok here are the stats on the new wheels and tires.

Front wheels 19x8.5" w/34 offset. Tires: 245/35ZR19.

Rear wheels 19x9.5" w/40 offset. Tires: 275/30ZR19

Couldn't get the weight of them sorry. I've driven them about 250 miles so far and have not heard them rub at all. I will say I lost a little of the smooth ride with the combo of the new springs and lower profile tires but its the price of looking good.

My co-worker has those in 18" on his 350z roadster. I wondered what they'd look like on an 8. They look great. I'm not sure if I like chrome though.

Black powder coated spokes with the chrome lip would look awesome but they dont make em them that way. I guess you could make them yourself. -T

They just started making blacked out ones...they cost a bit more and just came out. I have emailed the company asking for a quote.
