Need help deciding wheels please
 

Hello everyone,

I have been searching for wheels for about 6 months now for my 370z. It is a 2011 gun metallic. I am open to different kinds. I do lke the sporty type. But I am open to any wheels that look nice on a a 370. Anyone have suggestions that would be very helpful.


Also, I would like to know what offset is flush on a 370... Is it 9.5 front and 11 rear? I do not want to use spacers. What tire sizes would be best to make it look flush?


Thank you

That's not offset, that's rim width.

This would change depending on the height of you ride.

I' sorry that is what I meant the wheel width. Thanks for the links!

I want to keep the height stock as is...

Thanks for the response! But I am looking for something new school

Real question is how much are you looking to spend? (With tires)

Really, how deep is your pockets? I got Forgeline rims and Mich PSS tires. and that was a hit to the wallet. :eek:

I like Volk GTS.

But I noticed something. Some pictures show the rim spokes a little deeper into the wheel. other pictures show the rim spokes closer to the exterior edge of the wheel. Is there a certain measurement for that?

For example:

This seems like the rim spokes are more toward the outer edge of the wheel as compared to the one below, where the rim spokes are more inside the wheel.

Wheel choice is very subjective. It's very individual. But it is also very important - choose the wrong wheel and the car will look like crap. Google for aftermarket wheels and look through the picture section of Google. If you find the wheel you think you like, find out it's name and then Google for a 370Z with thatt wheel. A lot of people wil request a Photoshop done through the Photoshop thread, so they can see what the wheel will look like on their car.

Some of those photo-shoppers are pretty dam good.

first picture is showing 9.5 or 8.5 inches
and second picture is showing 10.5 inches in width

This PDF of wheel nomenclature may help. For more info, Google "auto wheel nomenclature".
