looks good, but that particular wheel would look better in an 18", IMO

the way the spokes themselves don't go all the way to the widest part of the inside of the rim makes them look smaller than they really are

The Z looks great. Polished wheels on a white car are the way to go. Luke and I are glad you like the Heckles and were happy to help.

Looking great, I love this car as much as the others!

BTW, is your CME held on with the 3M tape or some other type of adhesive?

I didnt want a wider wheel in the back because I wanted to run the M/T drag radials which only come in a 275/40 for the 17 inch wheels.
