you're going to put 40 offset cheep wheels on your Z? they will look even more tucked in vs stock. aim for much much lower. I like 20, a lot of people like mid teens, and some like it under 10.

posting a 2nd time to laugh at the wheels, 75 a wheel? that **** is going to buckle the first pot hole you hit. : P

7.5 inch width? really? even your stockers are wider then that (8, 8.5, could vary based on model / year etc)

at least do some research before pulling the trigger.

I accidentally put up the ones I had on my Honda Civic, I edited it and put up the rims I was looking at for this car but I am still not sure about these rims, if anyone out there has any suggestions I would really appreciate it.

OP, just stop right now and search this forum. Look in the wheels and tires section and check out the vendor classifieds.

that updated link doesnt list any relevant info if it would fit on your car, but at least the widths are better.

Bridgestone Potenzas are stock, Bridgestone provides the OEM tires for many cars like the 350Z. And 18's come stock as well. Could be ugly aftermarket 18's though I guess if you aren't talking about the stockers.

By the way.. the link you provided says that those wheels fit Mercedes Benz cars. Mercedes uses a 5x112 bolt pattern IIRC, the Z is 5x114.3.

I would just forget about the hood and the stereo and go for decent quality wheels with good offsets as a start. No sense in replacing garbage with garbage, I know its a cheap route to go and it will allow you to get the hood and stereo at the same time but you will be much happier getting a decent set of wheels and waiting on the other stuff. If you have to get everything at once I would suggest you look for some used stockers, at least they look better than the wheels currently on your ride and better than the ones you proposed in this thread. Check out the classified section on here.....lots of good deals.

Horrible wheels.

The hood? I assume you have some other mods to the body to set off a vented CF hood, right? If not, it'll look goofy.

yeah i have the exact head unit in my car and i have quit a bit of problemos with it. if your cd starts to skip it will freeze the entire unit. mp3 cds... forget it, they always freeze it you have to turn your entire car off to reset it. it wont even let you eject after it has frozen. so before you buy a head unit ask around because im suprized i have punched a whole in mine yet
