Default Need wheel opinions.

I'm thinking about getting some new wheels for my black 370 but not sure which ones to buy. Also trying to figure out what size I should get them and the offset. Is it the smaller the offset number the more concave? The wheel choices are between Verde axis gloss bronze and niche m157 charcoal. I'm leaning towards 20 inch for the looks. The website I see them on (performance plus tire) sells them both in a tire package but doesn't say the offset and is a square set up. What should I do?

The + then number is the offset, looks like the second pic is a square setup. Concave will come from the wheel design, offset is the distance from the center of the wheel to the barrels. Id go to the wheel section and find a vendor for help or call niche directly. Goodluck!

I recommend forum sponsor Jason at Get Your Wheels . He's familiar with the Z and will put together a package that will fit, no guess work. I had great service and pricing with them.

Jason knows his stuff with Z fitment.

Thanks for the replies. I usually buy my wheels from tire rack but they didn't have much of a selection for the 370. Also I checked out Get Your Wheels but they didn't have the niche m157 style wheels. I think I might roll the dice on that performance plus tire website. Is it safe to have a square setup? Would it affect the handling in a negative way or mess with the traction control?

From experience I would definitely make sure to talk with someone first about the wheels. Check different offsets and make sure how they are going to fit the Z. I purchased wheels in the past not knowing the correct offset and hated the fitment.

Also I like the style of the first ones in the picture. Verde.

Do you think 35 offset would look good for the Verde style wheels?

I found a niche version of those wheels. Do you think a square setup with 35 offset would look good?

I remember Jason at GetYourWheels mentioned those Verdes in a post for a great deal and he would know the perfect offsets for the Z if you lean towards getting those.
