Message	Well guys...as many of you know (or maybe not), I am doing a handmade metal widebody to the rear of my car when i get back from Hawaii. (Don't worry, only the rear quarter panels will be repainted, and not the whole car...so my new paintjob I have will not be completly wasted :) For the woidebody, I obviously need wider wheels, and I have been looking at getting the same 5 spoke wheels that i currently have, but just with the 4 inch lip, instead of the 1.75 inch lip. After reading last night responses, and checking around, i have decided to go with the seven spoke version of my wheel with the rivets, and with the 4 inch lip. the price is still the same ($$$$$), and so is everything else, but just 7 instead of 5 spokes, and also rivets on it. I believe that this will look better on my Z, since my lip will be sooo huge, and since I have 19s, I think that i need a little more of the spoke area covered up...with my current lip, I like 5, but with the 4 inch lip, I think that the 7 spokes will look MUCH better. Here is a picture of the 7 spoke rim on a widebody NSX... my lip will be larger than this one by 1/2 inch too..but this gives you an idea of the front and rear. Just tell me what ya'll think..thanks for reading this long post.
