Tony Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 funny you should mention those niche wheels because i had looked at those a while back before these zevens were released. and let's face it, these zevens are basically the a straight knockoff of the niche wheels. i really think i'm going to go with the zevens. Katie doesn't like the 551c and i fear they would look too plain. not that i want something uber flashy but i feel i want it to at least stand out decently. yea man i like the mmd wheels too.....idk if they are as close as you may think in person however. i think the niche targa's not only has a better looking concave from the tip of the spoke down to the center caps (which makes a HUGE difference when facing the wheel from the front angle of the car) but also that machined face vs the flat silver finish would be enough to sell me on the niche's just my .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prokiller Posted January 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 i priced out the targa wheels and it was too much. so i went with the zevens. the wife isn't a fan of the 551c so ultimately i went with the zevens since the car may end up becoming hers if i find another mustang i want. sadly only the fronts are in stock. I really can't wait until the rears come (about a month ) in to see just how concave they are since the fronts aren't that much being as they are only 8.5" wide. enough talk though, pics!!

95riosnake Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Will the offset put them pretty close to flush? I think that will make a huge difference alone, then add in bigger diameter and a better design... fuck yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 those pics make them look way better than they do on the site. i'm with dan....if they sit nice and flush with the fender that should look sexy man! nice glossy finish too vs flat which is what i assumed they would be.

Prokiller Posted January 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 if i get time this weekend i want to pull a wheel off and put one of these on to check the offset and such but from all the research i've done on the g35 forums, it should sit nice and flush. i do have to get new lug nuts though i think since the stockers are massive.

Prokiller Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 got the 20x10s for the rear. they aren't as concave as i had hoped. don't get me wrong, i still think they will look good on the car but not exactly what i had in mind. i'll rock them for now. who knows, might get something else later. putting them up against the car to see.

Tony Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 i think thy look great!! don't have to be super concave imo. did you already decide on tires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I would have expected the rears to be more concave similar to how the Vossen lookalikes are, but like you said they still look nice. I think once they're on the car you won't mind it. Not sure what you can get deals on tire-wise but for a mild performance all-season I've had good luck with the Hankook Ventus V2 Concept tires I run on my scion. Pretty good in snow, quiet ride on dry pavement, and decent grip I'm expecting to get about 25k miles out of them which isn't bad. And, they're pretty reasonably priced without having to step down to Chinese no-name garbage tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Psychorugby Posted February 2, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 I cannot espouse the Continental Extreme Contact DWS enough. I'm on my third set on as many cars, and I've gotten at least 40k out of all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokiller Posted February 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 i know what sizes i'm getting for sure, but the brand of tire...not a 100%. i was going to stick with Nitto NT555 since i can get the fronts through work but that's not guaranteed to be the decision. i can also say that i want a summer performance tire. i don't want an all-season because that's what i have the stockers w/ blizzaks for. these will be summer only wheels/tires. fronts will have 245/35-20 and the rears will be 285/30-20. will have the same diameter which is important since it's an all wheel drive model.

Moderators Psychorugby Posted February 2, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Continental makes a Summer version of the DWS - the DW. Basically the same tire. They're awesome down here in the sweltering heat and the torrential downpours. Every tire shop I go to recommends them if you're not super budget minded (they're a touch pricey, but not Michelin pricey). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 How about Nitto Invos? They're only a little more $$ than 555's and from what I gather they're a bit stickier than 555's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 not to throw another monkey wrench in the tire mix but i read up on these general g-max as-03 tires and great reviews. they remind me of the bfg kdw tires tread pattern. the reviews say they last a long time and are good in the winter....ultra performance tires too. they don't look like an all season tire at all. http://www.1010tires.com/Tires/Reviews/General/G-MAX+AS-03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokiller Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 How about Nitto Invos? They're only a little more $$ than 555's and from what I gather they're a bit stickier than 555's. i was definitely contemplating these. i've always had good success with them. i think ultimately it will come down to which set i can get for the best price. not to say i will go with cheap ass sumitomos or something like that but i don't need the uber amazing sticky track tires either.
