Guest Anonymous Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 Just looking around at different possibilities and found these on the Centerline Wheels website. Feel free to post any opinions please. Oh, they would probably look best in at least 17wheels .com[ [ October 16, 2001: Message edited by: KicknZ ] [ October 16, 2001: Message edited by: KicknZ ] [ October 16, 2001: Message edited by: KicknZ ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modern Motorsports Ltd Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 I prefer the first which IMO is a much smoother/sharper wheel, naturally opinions vary. 2nd might be more suited to a 'v. distinct radically modified Z exterior'(ie. racing rear wing etc...)?It's just as easy to post those pics here as well, same way you posted your URL's, just use the image button below and to the right instead. PS they v. much remind me of Boyd's styles.(did CL take over BC? I know their was some change with BC?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Just my opinion, but they look too "truckish"... Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Nice design, but I'm not partial to the polished 'Chrome' look. I prefer painted or unpolished Al. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 The first looks a bit better for the application than the second wheel IMO. Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 I agree, the first one, because it looks like a custom wheel, the second one looks more OEM (stock). Couldn't go wrong with either, I prefer the first however. Regards, Lone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Mmmm... Have to agree with Owen on this one. They both look like they belong on a truck. I'm going to get on my soapbox here, Kickn, but please don't think it's directed at you. They're going forth to the group in general. When most people customize a car, they don't seem to have a goal in mind. They see neat wheels, and they buy them. They see good looking bumper treatments, and they buy them. They see other cars with spoilers and wings that look good, so they buy them. Then they slap the whole thing together, and seem surprised when the whole mishmash looks like crap. When customizing a car you've got to picture what you want to end up with, and work backwards from there. Too many folks seem to have no concept in mind, and they end up with an accessorized car instead of a hot rod. You know the difference, even if you can't put it into words. It's like when you spend an hour going over every detail of one car in a show, then pass right by the one in the next stall, even though it's similarly equipped. One man had a concept, and the other just had a credit card. Look at Pete's car for an example of this. He may not have done everything the way I'd have done it, but he's done everything to a very high standard, and it all fits together visually. Your eye is drawn from one obsessive detail to another in a slow, logical flow. Your eyes don't jerk from wheels to carburetor to bodywork to engine dress, they just flow over the whole picture, seeing how all the individual parts add up to one kick-ass ride. The details are there, they aren't hidden, but they work together instead of clashing. Another example of this is J Taylor's 280 w/ TSW Trophies on it. BEAUTIFUL wheel choice, IMHO. If he'd left the exterior of the car stock, they'd look stupid. But with the body changes he's made, they compliment instead of clashing. The Z has simple body lines, and deserves simple wheels. Straight lines are okay, but curves are better. You can never go wrong with a satin or machined finish, either. Okay, that's my .02 on the matter. I'd be interested in hearing other folk's views on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Of the two, I actually prefer the second set. Not sure how they'd look on a Z though. I like a simpler looking wheel. Just my preference. Scott, that's got to be the biggest set of compliments I've ever gotten on my car. My head just swelled two sizes! The reason I feel so complimented is that you have effectively articulated the underlying rythym and theme I've been striving for, even though the goals of the car changed over time. Too bad it's not put a tire to the road yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 17, 2001 Share Posted October 17, 2001 Thanks for the input guys. I agree with everything said. I kinda like the first set but they may be too "truckish". It is very difficult to picture these wheels on the Z. I think that they could either look great...or terrible. I planned to go with the Konig Monsoons as they complement the Z very well and give the look that I want. (Stylish, yet powerfull) Just exploring my options. Thanks again.
