www.diamondracingwheels.com is their website. Several guys over at hybridz are useing them. You can get them in chrome or silver as well. I got the 15X8"pro" series wheels. They cost about $85 each with shipping.

hmm Idk...My calipers are the standard S12 rotors for a non vented rotor. I had to cut the dust shield for them to fit. I don't know about a zx...I think you have to use a spacer somewhere. go search on hybridz...you will most likely find your answer there. Just be sure to search well or you will get flamed if you ask a question without searching. Trust Me on that one!

yep...and I thought the new calipers were going to work with those aluminium rims...it was close to fitting but no go...
*Edit* the rotors are the stock size for my Z...an early 260...but basically the same as a 240...they made some noise for the first 200-300 miles that sounded like some mating call of some mid-African Lemur or something...sounded weird but now that the pads are worn in with about 800 miles they have little sound to where you can barely hear them over the engine under hard braking.it stops about 40% better now even though my booster does not work and has never really worked. sometimes it was intermittent but now it is really dead. I ordered one from MSA at a rip-off price and then 85 days later I found out that it is not the same as the one I had in the car because it does not fit the firewall holes. I am going to just redrill the firewall and use the smaller booster and it will brake better than now.
