What I do not like in a rim is a fake two/three-piece, or fake engineered rim, or chrome, period. HRE makes a quality rim; iForged look to be good. There is just something about a simple elegant design that is more appealing to me than a visually busy rim.

True, You can't forget about the monoblocks either though, HRE, iForged, and Rays make some Awesome ones.
I too am not a fan of cheap and chrome rims personally.

The shop Z will be getting some wheel fitment testing soon, and am looking forward to it!:tup:

I'm having a hard time justifying spending $3K + on tires and wheels, when I can be putting that toward a TT kit or Supercharger. I probably will go with aftermarket wheels at some point, but I think the factory Rays sport wheels are a pretty good set. Now I just need to decide if I should keep them silver or have them powder coated satin black. what do you guys think? see attached photoshopped pics. Oh, I lowered the car 1.5 inches too :tup:

dlmartin81 02-21-2009 10:55 PM

^^ Hey, nice job with the pics.

I think they look great the way they are but look just as nice with the powder coat black. I guess it all depends if you want to set your Z apart from the rest and want to spend the money geting the color change. Black does look more bad azz, while the silver looks more clean and sophisticated. These are just my opinions of course.

Anyway, you say that you rather not spend the $$ on new wheels and tires and instead on a TT kit. So why not do that. Leave the wheels the way they are and use the $$ that you would pay to get them painted towards your TT kit.

Does this seem logical?

Thanks, Yep I agree, I think I only want to do so it's a little different then the rest. It's not that expensive though, place by my work is only $250 for all 4 wheels. I'm like 50/50, I think it looks good both ways, just depends on my mood.

StLRedrider 02-22-2009 11:02 AM

I like the Rays VR-G2 forged (black on red)

Epic fail, right there.

Any 3-spoke wheels are hideous.

I likes.


Also:
Giovanna Dalar rims
I like that style and plan to do something ala to that.

dlmartin81 03-08-2009 03:50 PM

^^ I am a fan of the LMGT4. I think they looked great on the 350 and other previous Nissans models but I think they look boring on the 370. To me (of course) they just don't provide that look where you immediately stop and say "WOW!" or "DAMN!". The new Z needs something more modern, artistic, edgy, exotic like, something with flare. The car's exterior styling makes it look more expensive than what it actually retails for. You all know what I'm talking about. It's got crazy styling. That's why the factory wheels fit it so well. They're different, artistic, edgy, expensive looking, modern day styling. All they need is to be a little wider. But I guess you can't have everything.

For these reasons, I plan on staying with the stock sport wheels for a while and get a set of spacers to help eliminate the gap between the wheel and fender wall.

Again, these are my opinionated views. I'm not hating the the LMGT4s. I just don't think they're the right set of wheels for this car.

dlmartin81 03-08-2009 03:55 PM

This is what I'm talkin about. Lower the car a little bit, push the wheels out some and you have a sick, but at the same time classy and tasteful look.

tvfreakazoid 03-08-2009 08:22 PM

WOW I like number 7. I like the different colors it displays. Are these rims light?

tvfreakazoid 03-09-2009 04:16 PM

I wonder how much the lambo's reventon rims cost???

Its not that he is not a fan, its that they are impossible to get and if you somehow convince Lamborghini to sell you a set, they would be $10,000 a wheel, because they can charge you WHATEVER they want.

Zed: That looks great, nice post!

The_Zed_car 03-11-2009 06:16 PM

Thank you, the front lip on the car looks great too.

I added the link to my original post to the SSR site on the Type Fs.

BurntGauge 03-11-2009 07:36 PM

I think the Breyton's are for BMW's only.

Yes they do man, yes they do.

o0javi0o 05-20-2009 01:35 PM

I will always choose Volk TE37 Time Attack, but Breyton' s would look nice too, in my opinion.

dainedazz 05-25-2009 01:44 AM

GreenJalapeno 05-25-2009 04:03 AM

Ive always liked the CCW wheels...i might go that route and get the SP18s painted flat black. I really like the Stockers as well..so this will be one of the last things i do.
