YOu know guys your car isnt that much more expensive then a genesis. The car is really not a bad car at all, and has lots of potential. So sorry to tell you, but if forged wheels cant be afforded, let the guy buy what he wants, b/c what hes looking at is not a bad company at all.

nogoodname 09-24-2009 01:29 PM

those rims are ugly... like really ugly

there are other options if forged rims cannot be bought.... let alone 3 pc rims...
go for others or used sets

What are you talking about? :gtfo2:
There is a huge difference between the 370z and the genesis.
I just don't understand why someone would want to put those rims on a car that deserves so much better. If anything your degrading the z by putting those things on. :shakes head:

nogoodname 09-24-2009 02:06 PM

degrading it by putting something that look like it was designed in the 70's

lemansz20 09-24-2009 02:39 PM

Dude are you kidding? What do you think your driving?? You must have a ferrari emblem on your 370 I guess, b/c the genesis costs like 30k, and yours around 35k. Your car is a much better performance car yes, but when I had my 350, sorry to tell you, I knew what I was driving. I know what I paid for and thats final, I wasnt driving an m3 or cadi cts v, I was driving a nissan.

nogoodname 09-24-2009 02:47 PM

^^ not a good enough reason to put ugly mofo rims on the Z... or any car...lol

um yah, so you already answered your own argument.

like i said, konigs belong on genesis or civics or xB's... get the factory 19's in the private for sale section. much better deal. :)

I wouldn't hesistate to put these on one of those 350z pieces of crap, it would have to be the interlagos fire color though. With burnt exhaust tips, burnt shift nob...I'd drive it.

So wait...if Konig isn't a "bad company at all", what the hell is? :icon14:

Bottom-of-the-barrel crap like Konig is as low as you can go. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the factory Sport wheels. They look great, are aggressively-sized, forged and for chrissakes made by Rays. Swapping them out just for the sake of "having rims" is not only ghetto but the ultimate face-palm.

I'm not saying this car only deserves premier brands like HRE, Fikse, or Dymag...spending $8-10K for wheels/tires when it's all said and done is awesome if you can swing it, but it is a $35K Nissan after all. However, going with wheels catered to the broke, teenaged, entry-level "tuner" crowd is laughable.

How about a set of Volk, SSR, Advan, BBS, Gram Light, Work, or similar? If you can't afford comparable wheels to those names, why bother?

nogoodname 09-24-2009 06:50 PM

the factory sport rims are Rays ENG Forged rims




go and have a look at the aftermarket Rays... they are made by the same company

Does price really have a lot to do with it, though? There are a ton of used E46 M3s around for under $23K, which is why they've become so attractive to 17 year-olds. Hell...there's an old, beat up looking NSX around here driven by a kid who works at Kragen which has similarly cheap, ugly wheels. I don't know if they are Konig, but all those low-end brands are the same to me...is it justified simply because he paid as much as a Civic for that car?

nogoodname 09-24-2009 07:41 PM

can we all forget about the brand and how crappy it is... or the quality issues....wtv



the rims are ugly.... what more do you want...lol
even if they were forged, it would still be ugly...ha

lemansz20 09-24-2009 08:15 PM

You say their ugly, but that is YOUR opinion. Their are volks that people think are ugly. Its with everyone that has their own opinion on something to choose what they want.

Someone said konig was the bottom of the barrell, but sorry their not. Their are companies out there, that make real crap. Its just the reality of cheaper wheels, but I mean if these wheels cost around say 1600 dollars, that isnt exactly cheap per say in ones mind.

Also who ever said the 350z was a piece of crap, you might want to look at your car and realize thats where your drivetrain came from. SO you technically just called your 370z a piece of crap, b/c the last year Z's had basically the same motor and transmission.

I again will say the 370z is a great car, and this argument is based on buying cars new. The E46 m3 is an older car already, but you cant compare pricing to the new m3 can you? I am just saying to each his own, I think their nice, and I know friends that dont drive crap cars, and are very happy with them.

Oh and just so everyone knows, theirs a couple of ways to make a cast wheel, so yes their is a large difference in quality with cast wheels depending on which ones you buy.
