Gotta have blades, right? Even that ’94 Hyundai’s gotta have some custom 20s, let alone the Mercedes. RZ, situated near the corner of Himes and Cypress, has bunches of the shiny beasts — by Lowenhart, Maya, RH Pro, Project IX and others — and if they don’t stock ’em they can get ’em, big as you like. The clean, pleasant showroom is staffed with knowledgeable dudes who can help you make the right choice and avoid those deadly rim faux pas. And for extra eye candy, in one area sits a bright yellow Lamborghini — just in case you want to let your fantasies run free. 3614 W. Cypress St., Tampa, 813-873-2235, www.rzmotoring.com.
