i am " game dog" post them up lol

I know they're expensive but for some reason they look cheap. :dunno:

^^ it's the glossy finish which makes it look like that

trust me I've seen these puppy in person, the pics dont show off the quality of the weave and the wheels as a whole...perfection! oh yeah according to 360forged its $1900 each..lol They do make non-carbon one..called the Spec 5ive

Info:
The 360 Forged's patented CF Forged line of carbon fiber overlaid wheels are a revolution in wheel design. 360 Forged adds a hand laid layer of high strength carbon fiber onto the aluminum center section. The center is covered front and back by Carbon fiber, then coated in 3 layers of clear. These wheels are limited production, hand made pieces of art.
Once an order is placed, the center section is precisely machined according to the exact specifications of your vehicle. Once machined, the center sections are shipped to our facility n Italy, where they go through our carbon fiber overlay process. After the carbon fiber process is complete and the wheels return to the US, where they are hand assembled, balanced and inspected.

There I fixed it for you. Yes you're right. ;)

Its an aluminum wheel with carbon "overlays"

To each his own though.

Check these wheels out. Half Carbon/Kevlar half Magnesium.

Hehe Which car do the 360Forged wheels come stock on? Cause the dymags come stock on this ;)

hahaha koenigsegg my favorite supercar...you have me beat RCZ LOL...Mag and carbon..strength and super lightweight!!! Those wheels probably cost as much as the 370z .

:eek: :drool:

and 10K a pop

Well they go for a bit less now. They go for around $2000 a wheel....

Entirely not worth it hahaha :tiphat:

I've seen people pay quite a bit more for a lot less HP hehehe. $2000 exhausts come to mind ;)

(yes I know you need 4...thats a minor detail)

^^^^ those wheels are not lighter then some others so how are you gaining power with wheels?

I think these 100% carbon fiber wheels look much better than the above wheels. They only weigh 6lbs each. But they cost between $10k to $12k for the set, or $2.5k to $3k per wheel. :eekdance:

Out of all the wheels listed, I think the dymag wheels top the list.

Not a fan of the CF 360forged wheels. The 360forged wheels are very light as is, but not a fan of CF overlay.

Many of these wheels are incredible, but spending $5-6K+ on a set of wheels just does not make sense for a $30K car.

With that said, I do wish HRE was a more common wheel for the Z. Brand new, they are quite expensive, but on the used market, they really don't cost much more than used Volks. However, not many Z owners have HRE wheels to begin with, so alas, there is little to choose from in the classifieds.

The idea is that you spend less of the engine's energy to overcome the inertia of heavy wheels. Think about it, it takes a lot less force to spin a wheel made of paper than it does to spin one made of lead.

So by reducing the weight of the wheels, you are able to use more of the engine's power for what its meant to be...to make the car move. This is specially important and makes the biggest difference in this so called "unsprung" weight. That is weight that isnt supported by the car's suspension system. (Brakes, axles, wheels, tires, etc)

This wont only make the car feel faster and more lively, but it will also make it feel more agile and free.

They may not be as light, but you have to remember the other face of the coin...Strength. You could have a super light wheel, yes, but whats the point if it is going to explode or bend on the first lap. The dymags are super light when you consider how strong they are...

Yup, but those explode if you hit something on the street. A pothole and youre dead...those are really like smooth track racing only wheels....:icon17:

I like this guy.

^^^ i understood the weight reduction but my point was there were wheels that weight less and cost less that are still strong. However I too cannot ustify 6K on wheels it is too much I'll go with a TT tune and susbention upgrades before my wheels.

There are very few wheels with the exception of magnesium wheels that are as strong and light as those. Key word strong.

^^^ you going off roading with them?

Actually, a simple pothole or hard bump will do.

^^ we got major potholes here !!!!!


in the spring i'll take pics.....you'll be shocked

Montreal is an amazing city... I love it. Its beautiful.

^^ thanks for the kind words



CF rims is nuts...lol.....stronger and lighter than steel rims

I'll be going for Volk Time Attacks or some CCW Classics.

Gotta stay true to Volk and go with the RE30

Not as fancy as some of those HRE's and Carbon fiber shenanigans but I've always been a fan of a simple Advan Racing RS. I know, I know... with fenders that wide the Z deserves some "lippage" but if I'm spending this kind of money I want some some "Go" with the "Show" and I think the Advans are sexy as well as functional.

^^ Advan's are Pimp...

I am still sticking with the Volks CE28 in Gun Metal....

I like the TE37's. If somebody could photoshop them onto a Monterey Blue 370Z there is a cookie here for you.

PS: Make them black.

Im pretty sure my choice has been made. SE RE30's... now I need the cash for that...

I had those RS's on my Evo. Nice wheels but they chip easily. I put twice the mileage on a set of Volk CE28n's and they looked brand new when I sold them. Not the case with the Advans.

Hmm.. good to know. I wonder why that is?


Btw. evo's look amazing with RS's. which one do/did you have? IX?

I have a VIII. It's blue, the wheels were gunmetal.

http://www.the370z.com/images/japan%...Z_com_rims.jpg

What rims are these?

^^^ ugly ones? Chrome wheels FTL not for thre Z please.

Well said.

Barf!

I hate chrome!

My old client owns WTW wheels (Giovanna, GFG, Gianelle, etc) and he's a pretty cool guy. I'm going to see if I can get a hook up with some wheels for my Z. I think if I let him use the car in shows, he'll give me the wheels for free.

chrome is not looking good on the Z......maybe if the lip was powdercoated....it would work

Ahh, I guess to each his own but what a waste...I don't think car shows were what was on Nissans mind when they remade the Z. My guess is Nissan was thinking "lets raise the bar!"

:yum: Those Advans RS gold on a Pearl White 370z.

LOL! Great answer. You can buy 'em in chrome, gold, and puke green.
