R1 GTR5 wheels, what do you guys think?

I like these wheels because they look like the Volk GTC-Ns. I want to keep my Z looking as much JDM as possible. I have a 91 silver Z, and would like to get these bronze wheels. What do you guys think?

I think they look pretty good. I won't buy a wheel with ten holes in it when I have 5 lugs. That's the only drawback.

I agree with Canyon, again. That wheel is nice, but it's a universal wheel; i.e. a multi-vehicle wheel. Each wheel is designed to fit more than one car. It's a manufacturing cost saving technique that some companies incorporate. Get something that is made just for your car.

I'm starting to feel like the damn grammar police....Elpadronne, please correct the quote in your sig. No offense, but loose should be lose......and then should be than. Other than that, I like it.

Thanks 91zxtt, I didn't even notice it. I was in a hurry when setting up the signature. I like these wheels, the thing that I was mostly concerned about was having these bronze wheels on my silver Z... I love the bronze with the silver lip, but will it go with the silver car? I know that mis-matching colors is a big JDM thing, and I'm okay with that to a certain extent. I just don't want my car looking ridiculous.

That whole color matching and coordinating thing is a mystery to me, as it is with most guys. Try asking a woman. I would have to say that the bronze with the silver won't look right.
