yah, check out the TSW nurbs. they are legit, cheap and light weight.

also WEDS wheels are very good, mid-level price, and often available state side.

also check out Enkei wheels. some have 18's that look pretty good.

but your best best would be sport wheels 19's and great tires. that would be the way to go for cheap, effective solution imho.

Seems expensive for 8.5/9.5 widths. Quality looks cheap too. I suggest brands most on the forums have heard of and you can get a wider set for almost the same price. Try Avant Garde, Forgestar, TSW, and Enkei. If you got a bigger bank and want light, high quality wheels then go for Volk or Work.

P.S. I got my set of Avant Garde M310 for -/+$150 of that price. They are 9.5/11 widths too. Seeing skinny *** tires on a Z makes me sulk.

** Please keep in mind that this is solely our own opinion like you asked for. The overall decision on which wheels to get is entirely upon you and you only. We (the forum) will not criticize and hate you for whatever decision you make. However, remember that I am in Houston like you and if you go skinny tires I will go crazy. Thank you and have a nice day! **

Before I ordered by Works I was considering the Forgestar F14F's in 19 and I think they were somewhere in that range, but that wasn't including tires.

/Angelo350Z/ 08-27-2013 12:32 AM

For a little more you can get Work wheels. So, no.

OMGWTFBBQ 08-27-2013 12:42 AM

... For a couple hundred bucks more, you can get a used set of 19" Volks if you know where to look. Volks = lighter, stronger, way better looking. Just my two cents I guess.

Lip with bolts looks too narrow or something - looks too busy w/ polished rim reflecting bolts.

Have you seen anybody with this brand or these wheels on a 370? How do you think they will sit

Rohana Wheels Rohana RL-06 Matte Black Wheels - Rohana Wheels Wheels on sale, cheap rims, cheap wheels from Rohana Wheels at discount prices

Chuck33079 08-29-2013 07:52 AM

Those are still narrower than the Sport Rays rears.

Try checking out Getyourwheels (google that cuz I think I'm not allowed to post links). They are a vendor here on the forums too. Most of the brand names they carry are reliable. Be sure to put in your car on the search so it shows you the wheels that are compatible with the Z.

Heres some help for you since those wheels are WAYYYY off from anything that should go on a 370.

Cheaper wheels-
Forgestar Concave series
Work Kiwami concave
Wedsport SA55M
Enkei
SSR Type F

A little more pricey- (4k and up)
Volk CE28
VOlk TE37
ISS forged ML24 series wheels
Advan GT

Widths should be no less then stock 9.5 front 10.5 rear.
Offsets should be no less then +22 (if 9.5 width) for flush and +12 for aggrssive front fitment. Rear +12 or +0 for aggressive on a 10.5 wide wheel.
Offset calculator for alternate widths and offsets. http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator

Things to consider as well are wheel weights. The wheels above i gave you are all decent weights some are very good wheels weights. You can google unsprung weight but i can tell you first hand knocking a couple pounds off each corner will make a much better performing car.

My 350Z wheels back in the day stock were 17 inch thin and weighed 53 pounds with tires.
I got my 19 inch Volk TE37s that were 2 inches or more wider and larger and with tires they came in around 47-48 pounds! 5 pounds per Corner was VERY noticeable.

^^ depends on your ride height. those offsets would not look right

Not like I want to spend all your money but coilovers are much better investment. You will be able to adjust the dampening, height, feeling and tons more vs. Spring.

BC coilovers are only like 900 bucks and are better investment. If you have the cash go with HKS or KW variants :)
