MSA's New Konig Imagine Wheels

[Art@NissanSport]

Looking beyond that fact that some people will like it and some won't is the bigger picture: At least someone is making available another option for a bolt-on rim for an early Z. And since most of the rims we have to choose from are 3 or 4 versions of a Panasport and 3 or 4 versions of a slotted mag, Mesh and turbines, I like the idea of another choice.

I like them. They look actually a lot more classic than the Kosei K1 Racing wheels I have. I would make them my second choice behind Panasports. The K1 are going though for sure...

Almost all modern wheels have that huge positive offset because it makes it easier to switch wheels between FWD and RWD models without major changes. The wheels on my wife's 2008 Mustang GT look like FWD wheels...

We make a wheel gager that is used by most of the major wheel manufacturers to check the run-out at the end of the production line. I tried to run my ZX wheels through one of our machines at one point just to see how round they were after all these years, and I couldn't even get the probes up that high. With only a +10mm offset the lower (curb side) flange was actually above the home position of the upper probe...

Personally I like those wheels, but even if I didn't I would still be happy to see wheels still available for the older Z cars!

This is how they look in my car a 1973. 215/45/17

If they were ricers, then they would have stock brake setups.

Yeah...Whatever.

Well said. I just bought a set of 16x8 +10 Rota Grids wrapped with BFGoodrich Gforce 245/50s from a member at Hybridz (yes, I know I am going to have fitment issues, 5 mm spacers plus fender rolling/shaving will be required). I am selling my Western Turbines and center caps. Why? Because as much as I like the period look, I truly need wider wheels (no traction in first or second, and I will spin third then hook). Finding tire choices for 14x8, 14x10 is damn difficult.

I kinda like 'em even though I'm more for the "period" look. reminds me of this car:
