I really like the henessy and savari look, but the fairlady has nice gaps to show off brakes.

Hmmm... of your two top choices, suprisingly I like the savari... generally speaking I prefer 5 spoke but I think those look good on your car.
what ones are your fav?

The hennessy is pretty freakin sexy...but the fairlady looks pretty pimp and clean in person...i like the savari when i was at the shop...but the more and more i think about it i think the hennessy is hotter

get the new vertini concave wheels, forget the other wheels you have posted. the vertini is more of an import/jdm looking wheel IMO, and the hennessey/savari looks very common.

machined:



matte black:



keep in mind, most vertini wheels run higher offsets (30+) so if you want aggressive fitment you'll need to run spacers. thats my two cents, if you're gonna go that route go with something fresh and new.

i'll try to snap a picture of my rears so you can see what happens when you put concave wheels on our cars, and i wish i could make them twice as concave, but this will do for now.

Pics would be nice. I came close to putting a set of Axis concaves on a 350Z I owned last year. Like that look.
