Ill admit I am a JDM guy from the early 2000s before the scene went to shit. I find the current crop of Gt350 rims boring and expensive(and in many cases ugly). I also dont want wheels everyone else has.

Ive been looking at work wheels for the street, preferably in 20s so when I lower the car the Gap will be greatly reduced. I will then use my stock wheels for the track/auto X.

Right now I am leaning towards those, the offsets seem work. I like the look and they are not overly heavy in the size that will fit our car. And they have big brake configs.

I also saw VOLK had a C7 vette fitment but with the wrong bolt pattern.

Id probably spend as much as 800 per wheel but at that price the wheels can look like shit just because they are a little bit lighter then something else that looks much better.

Anything can look good if done right. IMO These wheels in particular only seem to look good when there is very little fender gap. I am a fan of the JDM/Stance scene to a point, and all those cars are tucking tire. I think your biggest challenge on the 350 is that the car won't be low enough, especially if you go to a 30 series tire.

I think you should do it though.

Just make sure you remember that our stock pads produce a stupid amount of dust... so anything not black will look rough by the time you hit the end of your street. Not sure if Todd has any problems like that on his GTPP, but I'd be hesitant to do anything other than a darker rim on the 350.

Good point. I'll need new pads soon

I think it could work, but I would double and triple check you have enough barrel clearance up front if you go with 19s. Not too many of the JDM wheel companies offer the correct offset/BCD/width so nice that they can do full custom

He's right. Barrel clearance will have to be 100% spot on.

I have some bad ass TE37s going on my car but they will not work until the GT350S AP brake kit comes lol

Work wheels are good quality. Can't go wrong there. I personally like Rays Engineering (Volk, Gram Lights etc...). I have a set of Nismo LMGT4 forged monoblocks and some Volk GT-C's Face 2 for my Nissan 240sx.

Thanks, Chad!

Here is a picture of my WORK CR2P. The build quality is beyond amazing. 20x10 up front and 20x11 out back.
