POS VETT Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Background - I've been scouring the internet to get ideas for a wheel intended for my newly-acquired 350Z. It's been overwhelming at best What I have learned - A bunch of wheel models that I like. From SSR Vienna (Kreis) to several models under Weds (Kranze to Leon Hardiritt to Maverick); even some Giovanna models, GFG, MRR, TSW (don't laugh), CCW, HRE, DPE, most with the word "Forged", Brock, Avant Garde, Rota (don't laugh), XXR (did I say that outloud ?), Rays, Stance, and even more. Some are so expensive, some are just expensive, and the rest are still affordable. I don't mind used wheels, there are some I can afford new. The range of styles is quite complex. I'm not quite a wheel connoisseur but I think there are about 3-4 different styles that I like plus their combinations. BBS-style mesh and its variations are a no-no and the only metal plating considered is copper (good luck with that one); chrome is out unless it's for lip. Machined or mirror-polished finishes are good. What I think I want (finally, some limits, right ?) - My ultimate goal is 20" and I'll settle for 19"; 18" will be my bare minimum and I don't want 18" unless it has specific "redeeming qualities". Please, nothing bigger than 20". I would like to stay with 10.5" width front and rear. I really don't want to deal with anything 12" or wider right now; it is indeed a temptation to stretch a 295. So, what's your favorite ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimTaylor751647545500 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Probably the best resource for wheels for your specific car out there. http://my350z.com/forum/wheels-tires-369/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamonds Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I would not reccomend my 350z... everyone will tell you to get volks. try zilvia as stated above. And know, that 18s and even 19's look small on a Z33. You need to define a budget before you ask any more advice. Budget meaning wheels shipped to your door. I can help you after we get that far. Then we can get to face vs. spoke & dish vs. deep-corn vs. sunken face. Here are 19's I ordered/fitted on my buddy's 350z. Wald Duchatalet 19x11 +20, 19x9.5 +18 (Run ya about 5G's before tires) http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i13/5power/IMG_0066.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
