I found some rims I like

I saw the first rim on a honda something and it was a 4 lug...I dont think it would look so bad on the ZX. The second rim is what I think I may go with. Polished lip and painted center....looks killer!!

The second one would be my choice, but I would definitly love to see what the first ones looked like on a ZX. The second ones are more of a race look and are actually designed to force air into the brakes which in turn cools them off.

JW whats wrong with your other rims, or just sick of looking at the same thing and want something new?

I like the rims I have but they are beat up a bit visually with dings and curbing...not from me, thats how I got them.

I am trying to get ahold of someone at American Racing to get more info on the second set of rims...they come in 15" but they do not really specify the bolt pattern/Backspacing...they just say custom on the site, so hopefully I will just be able to tell them what I need. Also, I have been told that my old school Eagle rims that are on the car now, can be repaired. We will see cause these rims that are on the car now are one of my favorites from back in the day.

Must give u props on the oldschool style in preference. I know that when I enquired about the superlights, due to the flat pannel where the stud pattern goes that they can customise them by drilling a blank rim. They also told me I can get it in a 16" rim, which is awsome.

I would probably go with the Konig Rewinds off of theZstore, they are the same thing as the second rim. In silver or black, 14's or 15's. Check em out. And they come with everything you need.

Yeah i like the polished lip of the rim...I found a color that I really like on a z over on hybrid and it is a BMW silver...I wold have the centers of the rims to match that body color. So some time in the future the car will be Silver with mostly black interior, and red accents inside. Dark tint of course.

the bottom wheels is superior!

but I like the all polished look with no paint or coating. I even removed the black paint from the mesh on my old Enkies and they looked a lot better
