haha good looking out! believe it or not but some guy stole my lug nut. i was walking to my car one day after i got out of class and i saw the guy taking off my lug nuts. i ran after him but he jumped into a honda accord and sped off. luckily for me he stole only 1, which i replaced a couple days later.

They both look great if you ask me, but obviously I'm biased :)
The CR Kais look SO much better with a lower offset & some width (though that goes for any wheel).
not my Z-- I'd have gone wider.

From what I remember I think you have to step up to 7.5's, I think it could fit though with the right tire.

They look bigger then that. I think they might be 18's. RPF1's look smaller then they are sometimes the 17's look like 16's because of the lip.
