So far, I've only liked aftermarket 5 spokes, OEM Touring, and OEM track wheels on the 350Z. What do you guys/gals think?

Good work!

Where are you getting the wheel images from? I been searching the web for wheels for a month or so now. I've found a few good sites for wheels. But, I want to get as many resources as possible so I can make sure i've seen as much as I can before making a decision on wheels.

The wheel choices that we make are going to really make or break the look of the our Z's.

Here are a few sites i've found:

www.wheelmax.com

If you want photoshopped pics, I suggest you go to www.350zforum.com and ask CrayZ very nicely. Most likely that he will say yes since he enjoys photoshopping wheels for people. Just a suggestion.

I really like the chrome silver one on the bottom. The rims look a lot like the old AVSs that stillen put on the SMZs.

I think I'll stick with my Rays though.

Initially I wanted Acura TL and wanted the Dronell wheels... expensive!

Be nice if someone can ps the Tenzo-R ZT6 wheels in silver or gunmetal.

Default Aftermarket wheels

How many of you actually plan on putting aftermarket wheels on your new Z? Call me old fashioned, but it seems that often times the rims that come on a car often look the best (maybe just because we are used to them). I guess I have just seen too many cars that REALLY don't need fancy rims on em (like Honda Civics, Chevy Cavaliers, and Chevy Chevettes). The Z deserves em, but I just wonder how many people are gonna change the look of their Z (I won't be doing this). Just wondering......

Totally agree. Since I'm planning to get an enthusiast model when someone drops out, its gonna come with the 17's, and they look ok . I want some OEM 18's, track or touring. I'm crossing my fingers hoping that somone hooks me up with a nice price for the wheels.

Photochop anyone?

What are you totally agreeing to? It's very evident that most people aren't in love with the wheels Nissan has chosen for the Z. Except for the Rays...The 2 others must go. It also kills me when people try and say they'll stay with the smaller wheel because of the smoother ride you'll get. 19's won't be much worse than the 17's. It a sports car. Need I say more.
