[RealDeal]

Here is my car now, with AZA Z10's, 18"

I'm going to step up to 19"s and use the 18"s as roadracing wheels/tires...

Option 1 is the AZA Z2, 19" in black - staggered:

These will look similar to the ones I have, but 19" and more spokes. It will maintain the red and black theme.

Option 2 is the Privat Reserv, 19" in gunmetal, staggered. I like the overall look of this wheel, but I'm worried about the gunmetal color - I don't have any grey on my car. Would it go alright on the car, changing the theme to red, black, and gunmetal?

Here is a pic of the wheel itself:

Forgot whose goat this is, but I hope they don't mind me using pics of their car. I think the Privats look absolutely awesome on this one!!! :-patriot:

And here is CSIJason's ride - absolutely gorgeous - and he's got some black accents with a "color" and gunmetal wheels that look slick. Hope he doesn't mind either... :-patriot:

So what do you guys think? Should I keep the red and black theme and go with the multi-spoke AZA's, or break it up a little bit and go with some racier Privats?

The Privats definitely look better but I was never a fan of the AZA Z2's.

[LS1_GTO]

if you realy realy wanna upgrade .because think about it its rims and tires...can get costy and no more drag radials ...but id choose the z2's even tho they look like the hp evo's

[DeepBlueZ]

I like the Z2s.....:-pimp:

[GOATCRUISER]

Option 1 bro

[Omaha]

The rims on that blue car you posted look the best to me. They all look good though, tough choice.

[rdobroski]

Option 2

[jonlee]

neither of the ones you posted. but it's your preference.

[Havoc]

Tough to give advice when we don't know what you're trying to achieve with this exercise...???

With that being said... Unless its very dark (nearly black) I don't think gunmetal will work as well with your cars' contrasting colors theme.
Don't get bored or lazy and fall into the trap of allowing your theme to get convoluted or overdone!!!

Secondly; Don't know much about AZA Z10's, do they come in 19's? If so, save yourself some cash and leave the 18's up front and put 19's out back.
Since your car is properly lowered and you don't have wheel well gaps taller than the tires themselves :o perhaps you'll avoid the "rubber band" look with the 30 series tires typically mounted on 19's, but I'd put 35's on anyway. The slightly taller tire balances out better with the bulbous GTO rearend... and speedometer error be damned! lol

[tap]

I'd say stick with AZA and get the Z2s.

[tmoneyr007]

Don't think the Privat's have the proper offsets to run staggered, I think the rear is a 9.5" 40mm offset. I say go with the AZA's so I can see how they look on a Torrid :)

I'm rather partial to mine(see below)

I'm rather partial to yours, too! I believe current availability is a problem, though... already looked into it!

damn those look good...more pics?

are you on stock suspension?

[IPOCKALYPSE]

Option 3.

[RASCAL_GTO]

id go with the privats, verry nice wheel

[cryptoheros]

I like the Z2s. I did this mock-up using a pics from the internet to see how they'd look on Brazen Orange. The pic simulates roughly the 18"-19" size.

[RealDeal]

Alrighty... it's overwith! Wheels ordered and should be coming in within a couple weeks or so.

[TOPPED_OUT]

Alrighty... it's overwith! Wheels ordered and should be coming in within a couple weeks or so.

Well...which ones did you go with?


And, I'd love to see those Aza's you posted on a PBM.....can anyone photochop?

[RealDeal]

Z2's! I'm not sure if anyone has them in black yet...??? There is a PBM with similar looking 19"s floating around somewhere...

[GMMillwright]

Yup. Z2's for sure.

[SlotCar]

Can't wait to see your new rims. I think the Z2's should look great in a 19.

[6.0-GTO]

Out of the ones you're interested in, id say Option 1

[RealDeal]

Yep, wheels came, and they sent the wrong bolt pattern in the correct bolt pattern labeled boxes... dolt!

I don't think a 5-114.3 would fit on a 5-120.... now I get to wait another couple of weeks!
