HP Wheels- Flight
 
Hey guys I was just going to see if I could get some feedback on these HP rims? Is anyone sporting them on the z? Are they decent quality?

I am just looking for something relatively affordable, and I do like they way these look. Opinions would be much appreciated, Thanks!

:shakes head: no... they don't seam worth it to me (no offense) But IMHO if you are driving a 370z, and picking up a different set of wheels is a high priority, in my personal opinion, you should get something of equal or better quality to that of the Z. I think this is one my my biggest issues seeing something "sub par" on a good car. Again this is just my opinion as I don't intend to bash your choice of wanting something a little easier on the pockets but that is why I like to look around and save up. good luck on finding what ever choice you end up with man and show us some pictures when you get them.

Yeah, I completely agree with you, I really want Venaci Vs-124's, but I'm just sick of looking at these 18" base rims, ha ha. Vossen is another choice I had in mind, and they will save me almost $1000 compared to Venaci.

Either way I guess I'll just keep saving for them, even if It takes me so long to get them that I trade my Z shortly after, I'm sure I could sell them on here to someone.

Thanks for feedback!

Pending that they aren't an absolute crap brand, I'd say go for it. Who cares if they're not high end wheels? If they look good on the car, and you like them, that's all that matters.

I'm kind of tired of hearing the anti-cheap-parts BS from people. Wheels are largely a visual upgrade for most; who cares whether they're forged unless they're used for racing? It's the same in the Evo world against Rota wheels, which are actually of a pretty high quality as of recently.

The base Z comes with cheap cast Enkei wheels - surely manufactured at the lowest bid. I honestly like them and they're quality wheels, but any other cast aluminum wheel really isn't that much worse. In fact, some may be better. OEM wheels are not known for impeccable quality, after all.

Remember, this is a $30-40k sports car, not a Ferrari. All kinds of "lesser" cars fall into this price range. Cars you wouldn't think twice about putting "cheap" wheels on.

^I agree. Just on looks, they look better than the stock 18's. I say buy those and take your savings and buy another mod. If something happens and you have to sell those VENACI wheels, everyone on here will lowball you anyways.

Not a fan of it, just dont think they look good.

I got these for daily driving (I drive less than 10 miles a day). Sure they are cheap and heavy, but I don't really care since I use the stock wheels for racing.
