Jeffblue · 04-12-2010, 10:26 AM

Mod, please delete my other thread i started about this, i realized it was very long winded. ( Wheel Comparison, your thoughts please )

TSW Snetterton vs Axis Penta. Both mesh style wheels, look similar, similarly priced. Would you guys choose one over the other and why?

Snetterton:

Penta:

Would these axis penta's fit with the 370z Sport package or will i need spacers?

Stock sport wheels:
19x9 +47 front, 19x10 +30 rear

could i use the stock sport tires on them or would i have to buy new ones?

The offset is slightly lower which means then will push out a few mm's more anyway. If you go half an inch narrower it will be a wash and in that case you might want to add spacers to get a more flush look, but out of the box they will fit.

The stock sport tires will also fit comfortably.

why would you get SMALLER wheels? i would at least get 9.5F 10.5R if i was upgrading... maybe even 10F and 11R...

i really want a mesh wheel and i can't find anything bigger than 9.5 in the back in a 19" have any recomendations?

BBS LM knockoffs? Yep. Still good looking? Yep. It's just a shame that they don't have the really widths.

I would go with the ones on the black Z since they spokes are darker and gives you some contrast, which depending on which color Your Z is, will look good. They go well with black.

I'm not a fan of mesh on the Z, but to each unto their own.
