Would these look good? Rota Shakotan

Should I?

I also found some in 15x9 all around -15 offset, wondering if they would look decent?

Seen some on S30's:

Wondering if anyone has some suggestions (other than the tried and true RBR's that is) for cool looking wheels on a ZX with 1" drop. Want to run widest most aggressive wheel/tire combo I can find (grip 'till morning).

It's been a pretty rough couple of months since I last looked at Z-mods, so I haven't really been in the game lately. But I got a new job and fixed the ignition on my Z, and life is looking up from here on out!

Almost forgot to mention, I'm not a fan of 18"+ wheels simply because they look too big in the ZX arch, and 17" is pushing it for me due to rolling mass/unsprung weight concerns. (they have to look really good for me to consider them, and not come in any smaller sizes haha...)

Unfortunately there aren't a lot of options for tires unless you wanna stretch in 15 and even 16". 17" will give you a lot more options. The Shakotan and Grid classics are good options for a modern wheel with a good offset for the S130. I think there is another Rota wheel as well that works IIRC...
