which do you like better? you can view the pics of jreed's gt3's on his thread but could someone put pics of gt1's on the Z? I like how the GT1's look bigger w/o the lip but then again the dish and the bolts onthe GT3's look nice too. On some pictures I just like stock wheels the best but on others aftermarket like the HRE's and SSR's,etc look SO nice. Please photoshop a pic if you can. Thanks!

 

The advantage to the SS1 is also that they are lighter by about 6 lbs. They also are less busy than the 3's which makes them fit better design wise with the Z's sparse lines. BUT the GT3s are great looking wheels....

 

Heres a pic i did a LONG time ago. Theese are 18"s:

 

so do you like them better than gt3's?

how do people choose b/w all these wheels? i mean i like the gt1s, gt3's, HRE's, I-forged, etc. but looking at a tiny picture doesn't really help you know? I'd want to put each on my car and decide haha which is impossible. with a stereo or something you can go see it and try it out and compare features and output and quality but w/ wheels I'm really a newbie and know nothing about different brands and which are crappy and which are stronger and which look better or are a better value, etc...

wow you're right they are light.
if you go to http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/whee...s/371&sort=pcd it says the 18's are 0 lbs! that's gotta help the Z's performance LOL. seriously though they aren't bad cuz the "super-lightweight" ray's are 18lbs right and these are like 20/21lbs...

anyone have a pic of the GT1's? Is there a better rim? I like HRE but get the impression that they are REAALLLLY expensive - is this right? I can't justify like $4000 for wheels when there are plenty of nice $2000 wheel sets out there. what about the integral's?

haha go to SSR's website the pic of the lexus is hilarious imho http://www.speedstar.co.jp/ the deep dish rears is um a little much on a lowered lexus.

I guess I don't understand a lot about wheels - what the R means, the offset that's good for the Z, different kinds of machined lips, etc. I just want an affordable, lightweight, strong, GOOD looking rim that doesn't look tiny - you can get a 20" rim with so much lip and bolts and weird stuff that it looks like a 13" rim but then you can get like a 17/18" rim that looks malproportioned. It sucks b/c i really would want to see these in person. For instance, even if I decided on the SSR GT3's, I wouldn't know whether to get 4 of the same or get GT3-R's for the rear or what...

 

also tho, i don't understand why all of these aftermarket wheels are SO MUCH MONEY! they aren't worth like 3-5 grand just for wheels!

do they have to have the center cap that says ssr or can you get a nissan one or is that not possible b/c the cap is different finish/size/etc. than one that would say nissan?
