Default Still looking for rims

I have stock rims / tires on z.

I was thinking hard and long to what would I change those rims too. They look good - but if I was to make it to my liking I would like something not so ordinary, yet sporty. And I found the style I like - but no one is offering those - and I am a kind of pearson to where I like to see and feel the things I buy - so all those magazine pictures dont appeal to me that much.

The type of rim I am looking for would be - 18 inch - and now this will be hell to discribe and I hope ill find a photo I can post to better describe it.
Its an alomst solid wheel with 4 circle holles - something like rims on Diablo - Lamoborgini if some of you remember...

Ill go search for a pic - but was wondering to what do you guys think on how would this look on ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...

Here are mine. Similar to what you're talking about but 5 hole.
I like them, but am still looking. I think color would make a difference with this style. Color of the car that is.

Here's a full view. I see the pic you posted. I'm not sure I've ever seen a 4 spoker like that though.

What color Z have you got? I think the loop style rim would be ok if it had a lip. Without a lip on the rim, it looks a little... I'm not sure of the right word. Maybe a little unaggressive. The Z is such an aggressive styled car it really is enhanced by the big lip. The main rims people have are the Axis se7en mods, rays forged and nismo. I like all of those but they have been done to death. I, like you wanted something a little different. Like djkern said, it would help if mine were lowered. I just got mine two months ago and since I'm not made of money, I'll have to wait a bit. Unless Djkern wants to donate some money to me. :-)

Well two things

I am trying to stay away from shiny chrome look - and I saw those 4 hole rims - like that Alfa on top but 4 holes - it has that lip on the rim and I can already see it on Z being a bit different and yet very nice and sporty looking. It would fit perfect with the mods I am going for on the car - i hope. The problem would be finding a vendor and I hope price ... I would not pay more than 400 per a rim for those - I also hope that would be possible - ehh..

They are 18's. If you want I could try to do a photochop with those rims on a silverstone. Thanks Djkern.

Hm its stock silverstone - realy nothing special than what you have already seen. I did not spend money for mods on it yet - and everything I do with it is very specialy selected - car is a killer as is now so I am enjoying it as is for a time being.

I go by the old one - one thing at the time... BTW winter is comming and I can feel the need to put Z away for the first time - but then again - that driving urge...

The rez of the pictures you posted makes it difficult to get a good shot of the rim. I'm gonna have to look for a better pic of the rims somewhere. I might not get to it tonight but I promise I will tomorrow. If you happen to find the 4's before then, postem.
