They are Kazara KZ-A 18x8.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the rear. And for all that want to know off set; 38mm front and 48 rear. I need to take some better pics with a digital camera.

Well today I installed them and took it to NTB where I tried to have an alignment done....Ill never take it there again. I had to talk to the manager about 4 times then just got really pissed off and chewed some dude out. Then they scratched up my front control arms by useing a cresent wrench on them and put some scratches in my rims with the aliment tools......I was HOTT . Anyways looks like im going to have to drive three hours to a Z shop in austin TX from now on to get an aliment.

Pluse side my car looks extra sexy....ill try to have pics up by tomarrow night.

id make them fix your rims and replace the control arms if they did that, id settle for nothing but the best, i woulda stayed there and been like, il call the poilice for damaging property and not repairing it. i hope you didnt just leave with them saying sorry. but pics?

Sorry...Im working to much so no pics yet..I have to go to work in 30 min. But I got Yokohama AVS ES 100's.....I love them and would recommend them to everyone. I had falkens on my old set and didn't like them that much.
As far as NTB goes im so pissed and I will never go back. My control arms are now scarded up and I got some of the scratches out of my rims with some mothers wax. Im debating on if I should go talk to the manager about replaceing my control arms.

I was about to ask same question as to the kind of tires. I used to run those till I got the toyo T1-R's. I find them Highly surperior to the ES 100's in every way..

Wheels look good, I feel your pain, i can't take my Z anywhere in the state and have work done right....

My two choices were the 5zigen wheels and The ones I have now. The 5zigen FN01R-C weight less but for 18's are way more expensive. So it was between 5zigen FN01R-C's 17x9s all around or the 18" staggered wheel set. Everything all together at tirerack.com was a realy good deal for 18" rims.
