new wheels, sneak peak!
I picked up some new wheels/tires from a local that traded in his mustang before installing these. I am pretty excited, not only had I been considering getting these exact wheels .. but I got them at a good discount
20x9 +33 20x10 +35. I think the rear offset is a little too aggressive, +45 or higher would have been ideal, and it will poke out a tiny bit. I'm prepared for that and I think it will look fairly aggressive. when I lower the car I think I'll just need to keep a slightly raked stance to make up for it and give it enough fender clearance.
they came with some new, unmounted nitto nt555s, 255/35 and 285/30. not really my first tire choice but for the price I was offered, I will take em!
I'm excited, should be installing on Saturday. here's a couple of sneak peak shots until they are on the car. it'll probably look pretty goofy until I get it lowered. I love the concave on the rear :]

that's not a terrible idea and not something I had considered - that could potentially compromise the integrity of the wheel based on design and how much material is there and such? probably more of a question for some one that could see the wheel up close.

You will be fine. Your offset will stick the rear tires out only 1/2 an inch on each side further than mine...
Plus, your rear tires will be nearly an inch shorter than my 275/40/19s.
Your front wheels will be only .1 inch wider than my fronts...

the design is a little bit different. the spokes are a bit different in design, you can see how they kind of end before merging with the barrel, instead of flowing right into the barrel. you can only make a 5 spoke design in so many ways before you run into stuff that looks similar. they do seem very cv3 inspired though and that is largely why I like them! having seen both up close - they are fairly different though. I suppose they could be replicas that were changed a little instead of exact copies?
I originally saw them on a youtube vid that was shared on the Z forums

the guy that bought them, bought them from this site, under stance vip's section (looks like they make Honda wheels under 'stance' and nicer wheels under 'stance vip')
