Guilty Secret - I love these wheels...

Crash · 02-16-2009, 04:29 AM

I think 18's would be better for performance, but even if you don't use the BBKs, the stock brakes are pretty big. I'm pretty positive that's why Nissan had to use a 19" wheel for the sports package.

I'll likely be using the RE30's in a 19" for my track wheels... They look good, so if I get lazy and leave 'em on, I won't be driving around on ugly wheels. LOL But I really do love the look of the stock rays.

They are so perfect for the Z.

I got to agree with you on the z rimz!

I have an 04 mach1, and the stock rims that came with it are perfect for the car.

I did end up changing my rims though, but i went with the same design through AFS Wheels and got the 9" up front and the deep dish 10.5" out back and instead of the grey on the inside of the mags i went with black, cause i have the oxford white with black decal stripe.

really sets the car off when the right rims are on it and the sport package z rims are definately on point!

^ +1, IMO the only thing (weak offsets) that will make me get aftermarket wheels later down the road.

I love the stock 19's as well. I will not be changing them. Really, there's nothing I'm going to do with the exterior of the car when I get it. I think it's perfect just the way it is. Maybe a bolt on performance mod here or there, but IMO the car is just perfect the way it is. It's not like my old Mustang where once I got it I wanted to change all sorts of stuff!

I love em, just I wish they were black. I also wanna raise the back just an inch or two

In real life, the wheels emulate the car's stylistic bulges and creases so well that if it were an aftermarket rim it would one of the most popular. It also a big sales draw as when you first see them on the car they draw you in to study them as they are very dimensional—they just go so damn well with the car.

I wasn't too sure about them in early pics,
but in person they look great.

I love them. Fit the car perfectly.

They are absolutly nice for OEM equipment.
But I see a brand new set of Volks in the near future.
