That's insane. I'm not sure if I like it or not.

I hope someone on here knows what it is.

I think I like it, but at the same time I think I hate it.

I think I hate it because it kinda looks like one of those "Tornado" fuel savers.

That's the kind of wheel that only a 350Z, and hand-full of others cars, can pull off.

Looks like the exhaust fan I installed in my computer.

Forget 19 inches, I'm looking for 80mm.

Well personally I think they are sick as hell, I plan on getting them if I can find some for sale! I think they will look great on a tC with a nice body kit (like the AIT kit which I am also planning on getting!).

O.Z. Makes the rims for the McLaren SLR. They're also found on a few 'special' high-end Mercedes-Benz cars.

Those look different than the O.Z. version, though.

As for the AIT body Kit you had better have the $$$ to do this mod my friend. Atleast 1500-2000 just for the kit, another grand or 2 for paint unless you get the CF one, but that again os about 2G's just for the kit. Also you will have to CUT your fenders to fit your tires. Only 19 will look good with this kit, and at a 0 offset to boot.. So there you will have to spend about 2-3000 just on custom rims. Plus you have to make sure you have the time and more $$$ to keep up with it. I was going this route until i learned the basics of getting a WBK...

Just for that setup you are looking at about 5-6000 just for that setup, and that is just to get that baby put on. If you work in the biz, then you might take off a few grand, but its ALOT of WORK and UP KEEP... Dont fool yourself to think that its going to be easy... Just ask the ones who own it, and ACTUALLY use it as a daily driver... For show only...

Oh and as for those rims they most likely only come in 5x114.3, which is common with higher end rims, and for Veilside rims... and look to pay a premium for those, more like 2-4 G's for the rims alone...

I realize the cost of getting the rims done! I was actually hoping to maybe find someone with a knock off of this rim? I know getting the "Veilside" ones would that much better because of the name brand being on the car, but a descent knock off can be made to look just as good with a little custom work!

As far as the WBK goes I think I am having a change of heart and have decided to go with the Rado kit! It runs between $2100-$2600 for the kit itself. I can do my own body work so I am not worried about putting the kit on.

I have already planned on putting down around $6000 for a custom airbrushed paint job.
