Should I get zq8 rims?
 
zq8 wheels

Should I go for it? I know zq8 rims are hard to find.

do it and strip the clear coat off them and polish them to a chrome finish!

The ones you linked are nice, but not as rare as these ^

You think $200 is a decent deal? Also I'd probably paint them black with a red pinstripe lol

$50/wheel isn't bad. The ad does say OBO so show up with $150. I paid $100/wheel for my 17x9 Camaro SS wheels. If you're going to put more money into prep/paint then you have to decide if it's a good price or not.

I like the rims you have now (what I can see of them). Why not put a red pinstripe around them?

Yeah I like them but because they are 18"s they give a horribly rough ride for a 4x4 so i'd like to go down to a smaller rim size to absorb more of the road shock. Also because they are so wide they made my mileage almost 3mpgs worse.

How are you calculating gas mileage? Remember your speedometer will be off with anything but stock size tires. My 255/70/17's are 11.667% off from stock (235/70/15). When I calculate my gas mileage I take the trip odometer, multiply it by 11.667%, then divide the amount of gallons used to fill it up. My highway mileage actually improved but city mileage went down.

I take the miles I have gone and divide it by how many gallons I filled up with. I run 255/55/R18 tires. They didn't appear any taller than stock just much wider.
