Can't decide, I want them all!
 
Hey guys I can't decide which wheels I like the most, I was hoping you could offer some suggestions, give me your opinions. I'm not really trying to build a track Z, I was hoping for more of the show car shiny feel, but I don't have the money to go super show, I just want some wheels and some CF love. To give you an idea, I was thinking evo-r CF fang cover, a CF lip spoiler, hood, and rear spats or diffuser. I've got the PW Z, and I want to do black accents. What's your opinion on these wheels?

5Zigen 5ZR. These are discontinued, but if I could find a set in my size it wouldn't be a competition, for me these are the perfect balance of aggressive, sporty, simple and beautiful.

I'm really liking a lot of the wheels from AM Forged. Has anyone had any experience with them or know anything about them?

I think these may be my favorite out of all the AM Forged wheels

And some more...

I also like the simple, mean looking design of these Stances

These Avante Gardes are really sexy too

What do you guys think? There's also some wheels by a company called XXR (wheels are 552 or 522 I think) and they look like the Volk TE37s, but at like $200 a wheel I question the quality and safety of them. Does anyone know anything about em?

kenchan 02-29-2012 02:09 PM

my opinion is they are probably all pretty heavy... which is fine if your car is a dd. :)

kenchan 02-29-2012 02:10 PM

Nick911sc 02-29-2012 02:27 PM

Not you Kenchan! But everyone knows those are the only 2 places you spend time

christian370z 02-29-2012 02:29 PM

Out of all of those, the only one I would go for is the AM forged wheel with the black center, thinner spokes, and the polished lip. Otherwise, I would rather stay with the stock sport package Rays to be honest.

Huck 02-29-2012 02:35 PM

Lol yeah I left it like that so that someone could see it and be like "hey I live next door to you let's meet up!" lol there's no 370Z's around here, just a handful of 350s. Plus if I'm selling something it gives the person more confidence in buying if I'm not trying to hide where I'm at :) or if for some reason you decide you really don't like me, COME AT ME BRO

My preference would be not to get any wheels with fake screws in them. that's just not classy. I do however like the stance wheels. also if you like avant garde look at the m310. those are awesome.

I've seen the M310's in person and they are nice. But I can't speak for their weight or durability.

sfearl1 02-29-2012 02:47 PM

Enkei's are light, cheap and track proven ;)

Alchemy 02-29-2012 02:53 PM

You dont want XXR's.

If you are tracking you want something LIGHT. Try finding a forged wheel instead of anything cast. TSW Nurburgrings are light and affordable as well as the Forgestar F14's that I personally run. Also like sfearl1 said maybe some Enkei's.

Pretty sure 18x9 weights like 25lbs or more. If you are going 19 its gonna be heavyyyyy.

Nick911sc 02-29-2012 02:59 PM

If and when I buy rims for my Z they will be the Forgestar F14's. So don't buy those, I don't want to see to many other Z's with them :p

I don't really have an interest in tracking at this point, if I do later on I would do the TE37s in a heartbeat. So the weight isn't as important as the quality and safety to me. This is for my DD, and I don't want to take a chance of cracking a rim going over the smallest of bumps. TBH, the nurburgrings and the m310s are a little bit too busy for me, I've never really liked that style. If I was gonna do something like that I would get some BBS rims or something.

I really like the stance rims too, but I've never heard of them before so thats why I was asking. I found a few people on the G37 forum that were using them and liked them. For the 19" stagger figment they are about $1600...

Are those Bronze???! I always figured I'd get them in Black or Gunmetal.. But that bronze looks so nice! Much darker than the usual bronze colored rim.

Yeah, its called Bronze Burst. They are dark but pop in the light. Its the nicest bronze Ive ever seen. Its hard to really capture them on camera. Here is a pic of how they pop, when the light directly hits it they look goldish

From what you posted, I'd go with the Stance or Avant Guard

Probably not in your price range (not in mine either at the moment lol) but I am dying for some SSR Professors MS1

Thank you....It was weeks of research and sizing, and stance, and type...

For sure a long procedure...Second guessing....

I wish all you the wheels of your dreams...It is not easy to choose.

I love the blingy stock 19" rays on the Wife's 370Z..

So she loves them too, so i am off the hook there..Tires we will need by next winter ..i will make sure of that..

Yeah I'm digging those forgestars, and that's saying a lot because I normally hate that type of design.

...I don't know, I just can't decide. I'm super picky with wheels, and I really need to see them on my car to be able to make an informed decision.

Looks aside, are the Stance rims reliable? I noticed they make coilovers for our cars, but I've never heard of them before.

IDK about Stance personally. I can attest to my Forgestars holding up great though:tup: The price was also very reasonable. I have a few more pics of them in my album if you want more reference. The Forgestars are custom made and they offer many color options.

I had a rendering done of my car before i dropped 3500 dollars...

I also had to trust the builder on the "stance" .. I know what you mean..We went 18 x9, and 19x10 on the Z/28..the 19's on the Sport 370z look great to me, so far..

i may try to drop it down more like the rendering, but it does not rub now, and it corners like it is on train rails...
