Would ROH ZS wheels make my car look too much like FlyinLow89's?

Not that my car looking like his is a bad thing, but don't wanna seem like I'm trying to be a poser.
Here is a reference picture of my car and his, respectively...
BTW, on a nice sunny day, my paint lightens up and looks almost the same color.

What's too much? I mean there are plenty of other cars that look very similar. If you like those wheels I say go for it. I think they're excellent wheels at a decent price. To set your car off you might want to get them in a different finish like gunmetal spokes or something. I like your GTA's too.

You both have nice cars. The fact is, the ROH ZS series wheels set 3rd Gens off perfectly (I recently bought a set). This is well known and is one of the reasons that you see these wheels on our cars. It's not like they're custom made and you're having his set copied. My first inclination in response to your question is to say that there's nothing amiss with you running the same wheels.

Before I got my ROH's I actually was gonna paint my GTA wheels Black and polish up the lip. I think it would look awesome.
In terms of you getting the ZS, it would kinda look like mine (so im gonna be greedy and say DONT
) but atleast your colour is pewter, not platinum. So its not a clone, more of a coincidence maybe

Ok, say I do keep the GTA rims.... Should I repaint the wheel the original graphite color or should I go black?
Is there any more value to the graphite wheels than black? I don't see a whole bunch of graphite wheels.....

I think the graphite color is great! Black wheels are gorgeous too...but don't have the visual impact of gold or graphite. Keep the graphite!
Graphite is is! I think once I get the wheels redone and polish up the lip, I'm gonna add some chrome lugs to them also. Can't remember where, but I saw some crosslace wheels with a polished lip and chrome lugs and it looked friggin sweet.
Gonna try to find some WS6 emblems to replace the bird logo on my center caps too.

Well both your cars have the stock body so if you get the Roh ZS rims its going to look pretty similiar to flynlow89's. Ill be able to tell the difference because I'm such a thirdgen guy. So what if it looks like flynlow89's car, hell if my car looked like his I would be excited everyday.

I called GroupAWheels just a couple weeks ago about some custom center caps. I also asked if the ZS series was still available and they said yes. These guys are the actual importers...

Hmm, honestly, I would leave the car just as it is. I wouldn't change the hood, spoiler, or wheels. It looks great! I would only strip and polish the lips of the wheels, which is cake.
