+1... in other words, keep the stock 18's.

check out Red_Zed's ride. he lowered his recently and looks pretty damn good with the stock 18's.

I already have them, I've had this rims for 5 years now, I know they are not the best quality out there, that's why I was looking for you guys opinion.

hey thanks for the replies, here is the thing, I already have the sport max rims, I've had them for 5 years now. I mean they are just sitting there and I know the quality is not the best, that's why I asked the question. right now I'm looking into powdercoating the stock rims, or get the 19" rays, IDK yet.

I'm not a wheel snob. They've lasted this long, they're decent looking and they're free. You may want some spacers, but besides that feel free. If for some reason you hit a pothole and they bust just put the stocks back on.

I would keep those rims for a winter setup. I don't know where lake zurich is exactly, but you will want a dedicated winter tire/wheel setup eventually if you are in an area that receives snow. This way, you can save up for what ever custom wheels you want and still have the winter set.

The stock Enkei 18's are actually pretty nice IMO. They just need to be wider. I upsized my tires to 245's F/ 275's R and they look a lot better.

Your wheels would fit but the size/offset is too conservative for the 370z. Don't believe me,? just put them on the Z and notice how sunk-in they will look.

I would just sell them or use them as a winter/backup set.

I believe you, I don't need to waste my time doing it! lol I mean really this is saving me alot of hustle, Right now I'm probably just going to leave the stock wheels on and maybe get them powdercoated, but I think I'm going to get a CB soon.

Good choice

Sounds good

There is a funny picture with S2k rims on a 350z, it looks like a train from being so sunk in
