Default When considering new wheels......

My car only had 1800 miles on it but when its ready for new tires, I want to install 18" or 19" wheels. Looking at 19" tires, only summer tires are available with horrible tread wear ratings.

How many miles so most of you get on your 19" tires?

If going with 18" wheels, what size tires should I look at? Stock 18's are 245 and 225.

Anyone have some pictures of 18" Volk rims on their Z?

Thanks.

i have about 8K miles on my 19" and they still look pretty good. It's all depend your driving habit. For 19", get Toyo. Good for both summer and winter.

Look, you don't want to answer the post, then shut up and don't answer. I asked two specific questions that would take hours to get specific answers. Just because you've heard the question too many times, doesn't mean other people haven't and wouldn't mind a fresh answer. You damn people that are forever replaying "search" don't know the first meaning of what a forum is about. So get over it!

Got a quote for Volk Racing GT-V 18x9.0 & 18x10.0 Spark Silver/Polished Lip with Nitto NT555 245/40/18 & 275/40/18 mounted and balanced, GT series center caps, center rings, and lugs hardware delivered to my door for $2660.

I plan to get wheels when I need the first set of tires.

Maybe we should all just search. Posting is overrated.
