May go up to 265 rears to get more equal overall diameter.

No pics as yet. Waiting though. I would run 235/40/18 and 265/35/18.

8.5 +38 and 9.5 +35 for stock fenders.

I like them but 9.5 all around would be so much better. Flat face fronts with concave rears is the worst.

Very nice looking rim, sort of reminds me of a Mustang FR500 design. Have you got any weights on them yet?

So BBS RGR like. I love them.

Wow, finding official weights on the wheels is hard! I've only read guesses of 19 - 20lbs.

One vendor says that the 18x8 5x100 weights 20.3lbs.

I picked up a set from AutoRND a few months ago. They are sitting in my garage waiting for my car's repaint to be complete then they're going on asap. Will post here with pics.

Edit: Oh ya, these wheels are freaking gorgeous in person. The color and finish are just beautiful (I went with the hypersilver as shown in the pics).

I just saw this wheel at AutoRND. It looks amazing in person.

This would be the wheel I'd buy if I were on the market for a new set.

Great looking wheels... Wonder if the z and a z31 have the same pattern... Guess I'll have to look into that...
