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".

:tup:

With tires I would say anywhere from 2500-3500..But there is some wiggle room depending on if I think they are worth the price...

Thanks for the tip! It was very helpful. I have done the searching and google for a at least 3 months.. I am just getting some ideas and opinions from people who own Z's and know what they are talking about.

I will try checking out the photo=shoppers as well. That is awesome, thank you very much. I see how that would be extremely helpful for visualization

Thanks for the links! I appreciate it.

Around 2500-3500 with tires if I could... Where did you order your wheels from? They look clean.

I got them from Eric at Get Your Wheels. About $4500 for the rims alone. Another $1800 for the PSS's.

I sent you a PM!

This

ever have questions about wheels and how you want them to fit your car. just contact getyourwheels, tell them what wheel your looking at. they will ask you some questions about your car, and come up with the correct fitment/offset for your car.

With gun metallic, I feel like you have to go with black wheels, either matte or gloss. Get your windows tinted as well....done.

Great! Thanks!

That sounds perfect I will do that. Thank you.

Yes I do need to get my windows tinted, I am thinking just the rear window. And I am not a fan of black wheels although they do look good at times, they are not for me. Thanks for the response.

I recently got ADV 1 on my Z, the size was 20x9.5 245/35/20F; 20x11 305/25 /20R. Now I change it to Rays TE-37 RT, that is 18x10 265/40/18F, 18x10.5 285/35/18R with Hankook Ventus RS-3 extreme summer tyre.

Found those links helpful! I am in the same boat. Looking at 20s right now, stance sc5s, vossen cv3s... Those style of wheels.
