wow, those are sick wheels..i dont think you can go wrong with either. Me personally im a fan of dark wheels, but thats all you!! Arent your existing wheels 20s? If so, you can reuse your tires and save money. Also 20'' tires are cheaper than 19s so thats a plus. I think they will both look hot on your car....

Those are the new Sevas and they do look good

I dont have 20 in tires, I have the 19 in tires.

My only issue is that I want Nitto Invo tires w/ these rims and I might run into some fitment problems: Here is my issue

I want to put Nitto Invo tires w/ them and they only come in 245/30 , 245/35, 255/45 for the front

for the rear, the sizes are 275/40, 285/30 and possibly a 255/30

remember I am lowered w/ the 350Z H techs. you mentioned doing a 275/30 tires, well what about a 275/40 tire in the rear?

hmm depends on a few things

1. what look your going for
2. what size rim the tires going on
3. will it fit

1. stretch look, thin tires or the meaty tire look.
2. 10 inch or 10.5 inch. with a 10 inch, a 285 tire will fit no rubbing (offset dependent). on a 10.5 inch, you will have to run a 275 tire. I normally try to get a 245/35 and 275/35 tire on a 9.5/10.5 or 9/10 inch rims. However, I am not sure if the 40 series tire will fit...You may need to call wheels direct or some other Sevas vendor to confirm fitment

Ok I just got off the phone w/ a sales rep for sevas.

The wheels are +25 offset all the way around

He recommended that I get the 245/35/20 front and the 285/30/20 for the rear being that Nitto does not offer a 275/30 for the type of tire I want.

He said that it would sit flush w/ the car and will not stick out...is this true?

^Depends on what width the wheels are. I have 19" 9/10 with +25/24 offsets 245/275 that doesn't quite fit flush. Pushed out another 1/2" front and rear and it would be completely flush. With 285 rears, it might be real close to flush though. If you're going with 20"s, H-techs might not look as good as S-techs. The front may be fine but the rear is probably a little high for H-techs.

I have a set of S-55's and the TPS senors fit just fine. I had to get brackets to put them in my Volks but they go right in the Sevas.

i agree...Sevas are very nice looking and a good all around rim. they do make some styles in a 19inch rim. i think the S7 do come in a 19 but i'm not sure. i know for a fact the S-Stars come 19inch. Rocsfinest has the S-Stars in black. i also have the S-55 on order, so don't think about jocking my style. the shipment of S-55 are stuck in customs tho thats why i don't have them yet. i went with a chrome rim with a color matched spoke face. just the face tho. you should also get a 8.5 inch rim up front and a 10-10.5 in the rear. the size tire you want to run (275-295) will fit great on those sizes for the rear.

Are you planning to put a kit on your car? I think chrome is too bling and black is too badass unless you get a kit too. A brush aluminum finish would suit you well if it's available.
