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?

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.

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.

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.
