Lowered with a matte oem bumper would look killer on your car. Looks like the fenders aren't cut though or it just seems that way.

 

Here's mine :)

 

17x8.5 all around with +6 offset. 30mm adapters up front and 25mm in the rear for the flares. so its -24 in the front and -19 in the rear. 235 up front 255 in rear

After posting my previous question I looked into Bathurst Globes as was suggested. I found this information below. Are your wheels Bathurst Globes or another brand? I really like the look and have seen it only on a few Z's. One was a '73 240z turbo from the North suburbs of Chicago who was selling his Z on Hybridz.

 

From: http://www.aus-ford-uk.co.uk/html/wheels.html

 

 

"With the popularity of the Globe, various other manufacturers jumped into the market with Globe Daytona lookalikes. R.O.H, Performance, Cheviet, C.S.A, Challenger and Simmons all produced similar wheels, and offered them in varying sizes, right up to 10 x 15s.

 

 

 

 

 

But genuine Bathurst Globes were only ever available in 7 x 15, as fitted by Ford, and 6 x 14 and 7 x 14, for the aftermarket."

 

 

 

Thanks, JB

I still need to polish the face and spokes, only the lips done so far. These will be going on my S130.

 

Nice!!! I did the same to my stock wheels, I spent around 3 hours polishing each one of them, and still need more

Anyone know where i can get a set of 15X12 watanabe (or look alike) with 4.5 inch BS. not sure what that is in offset

 

5 on 4.5 lug pattern.

 

I actually had a set when i was in japan but they were way too wide for my application at that point
