I do, black face with machined lip. These things have a gangster lip on the back. 19x8.5 on the front and 19x9.5 on the rear.

car looks good man, now does the size of the lip matter depending on the overall size of the rim? Do 18's have a smaller lip or is it all the same?

I believe the size of the lip depends on the offset of the wheel itself. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

thanks striker. The offset will determine the lip,but I dont know the offset on these wheels. The 18x9.5s will probably have a similar lip on them.

im not sure, the place where i got them didnt signify the offset. They do have a 100% guarantee that they will fit the car.

Rims look good on your Z, 99345hp! Remind me of my Stern's that I just sold.




But I sold mine because 9.5 is not enough tire for me so I ordered some 10.5 C6Z06s

Is it wheelstudio.com? How do the sit compared the fenders? Flush even or do they stick out a bit?

thanks everyone, its actually wheelsnext.com, they sit a little bit inside the fenders. No rubbing except for just a tiny bit on the plastic in the front while turning full lock.
