I saw those RH in person they are really nice rims dont get me wrong, but when i saw it on a supra the fronts didnt seem to have a lip anymore. what i mean by that is the way the rim is made the spokes come out so it sits on the lip well since the spokes sits on the lip then that means the spokes are even with the face so you really dont have a lip anymore.

for good looking wheels tho.

speaking of GTC's... i found this for sale:


i'm thinking about it.... but that picture is of the rear wheel (for 350z) and it doesn't seem to have as much lip as i was expecting a 350z spec offset to have...

nice choice of wheels wow chrome looks really nice. if you go with gold i think your car will look sportier with the chrome i think it will look really clean and classy imo.

didnt know axis made replica either.
