X3^, we need to see what we are giving our .02 cents on

smurfblu13 06-24-2009 11:43 PM

Personally i would go with the volks. But they also happen to be one of my favorite wheels. Pick the one you like though cause in the end you gotta drive it. Good luck

genki370z 06-24-2009 11:59 PM

heres the pics on the wheels.

note on the volks, there in bronze color, i want gunmetal grey

Boost_lee 06-25-2009 12:02 AM

TE37s if they are concave...if not, then sp1's

genki370z 06-25-2009 12:03 AM

haha i love that concave look on the te37's myself, thats what makes them the most attractive

TE37!

on 350z.

BTW, do you want me to make this a poll?

genki370z 06-25-2009 01:43 AM

u guys think the gunmetal grey volk te37's will look good on platinum graphite?(the color of my car)

Boost_lee 06-25-2009 02:23 AM

I dont know...I would have to see it exactly. The colors are so close that its going to be one of those things that looks really great, or really bad...go with ur gut

silver with a set of eyepopping decals would be safest imo

alexanderb 06-25-2009 04:00 AM

Te37! :)

Shunya 06-25-2009 04:43 AM

+1 with the TE37s the TEs have a concave effect on them.
I've play with many rims on my ITR and these are one of my favorites.

molamann 06-25-2009 04:50 AM

Though I'm not a big fan of the SSR's, the TE37 have been long played out, no?

Caravanshaka 06-25-2009 07:34 AM

played out or not, they are lightweight and attractive wheels.

I vote TE-37, go silver for a clean look, black for aggressive.

Canadian370Z 06-25-2009 10:41 AM

I don't think the TE-37 will ever look bad. +1 for TE-37

nogoodname 06-25-2009 10:44 AM

TE37 for sure. Forget the SSR

Gunmetal will look awesome on ur PG

Argos 06-25-2009 10:49 AM

SSR's !! this wud b a great poll

nogoodname 06-25-2009 10:52 AM

Get the F14's lol

i found out that volk makes a special color called magnesium blue for the te37's which is the color in the above photo, the bad thing is that it reminds me alot of black rims and im not black rim type of guy.......but i gotta admit the rims DO LOOK GOOD with the grey 350z in the photo so im thinking it will look good on my car too.....what u guys think? this is a color im thinking about getting

nogoodname 06-25-2009 03:57 PM

That's a hot colour. Get it!!!

azn370z 06-25-2009 04:49 PM

I was looking at the two same wheels. The sp1 are more bling but cost about $700 less than Volks. I would get te37 but with a big lip.

j.boy 06-26-2009 11:18 PM

wheel choioces
 
I think the ssr look slightly better personally,but if weight was the issue i would go with the te37's which are still a pretty good looking wheel made by one of the best names in wheels.
Good luck in your choice.

Personally I think that grey wheels on a grey car could look a bit too ermmm.......... grey.

Try imagining nice shiny silver wheels on a grey car - looks a lot more attractive.

OMGWTFBBQ 06-27-2009 11:20 AM

First, what size are you getting for the SP1's or the TE37's?
Second, have you ever seen pictures of Volk's limited edition colors on a grey car? Takata Green and Magnesium Blue both look good. :tup: There's always Orange or Luminous Yellow haha. Time Attack Red isn't bad either.
Three, you can NEVER go wrong with a set of TE37's. Played out? I don't think so. I think they're just a timeless design that won't go anywhere anytime soon.

Knives 06-30-2009 11:07 PM

My vote's for the TE37's. More specifically, the Time Attacks.

genki370z 07-01-2009 02:10 AM

yup my mind is made up, going with the TE37 in mercury silver. when i do order them im gonna be dreading the 60-90 day wait....haha

Zerafian 07-03-2009 11:21 PM

volks hands down :D

Shunya 08-01-2009 02:45 PM

yeah volks for sure.
i'd go with super advans if they came in 20s

datsunguy 08-01-2009 05:43 PM

Giovanna Berlin chrome 20's
 
Okay, I'm just kidding, do the Volks in silver. I plan on silver Volks on my platinum graphite for my first mod.

jmlenz 08-02-2009 07:45 PM

Go SP1 for originality! Nothing against Volks but everyone and their mothers are running with TE37s...just my .02

+1. I love Volks but the SP1 would look so very good with the Z's huge wheel wells. The lips would be very pouty. :D

datsunguy 08-02-2009 10:59 PM

I tend to keep my cars for a few years so that's why I'm going with something like the TE37 that is more classic and able to stand the test of time.

I remember the wheels I put on my black 350 that looked so good back in 03 when I first got it had really started to look dated in Jan of 09 when I traded for my 370. Not gonna make that mistake again.

So I guess it will be me, everybody else, and some grandmothers with an extra 3 grand laying around running our TE's. lol

Seriously though I think it's one of the most agonizing decisions you ever have to make about the way your car looks.

:iagree:yeah i know what you mean, because just because you think a certain rim is nice, it doesnt mean that it will look good on the car your putting it on....mos def, putting rims on a car is the most agonizing decision to make! the rim you buy will either make or break the looks on your car!!
