What do you think of these?
I like them both, but I'm partial to the Superleggeras myself. Mods, can I keep this here for a little while before moving to the "MODIFICATIONS" forum?

i know that the modas are gonna be heavy. they are not really performance wheels and therfore are inexpensive. but i think it looks better than the other ones. however, i think wheels with a lip would look nicer on the Z.

I have a set of the Superleggeras that I am selling from my Jetta (unfortunately they won't fit the Z). I think for the money they are great. Mine were rated at about 8kg which is ~17.6 lbs. Not too bad for $350 each. I think these would be better looking but they cost more ~$860 
and they are a little bit heavier.

I think rims should flow with the design of the car. Its its a very anguar car, then the rims should follow that design. If the car is very clean, then the rims should be clean, and free from exposed bolts ect. Also, is its a heavy car (such as an SUV, whrome fitsvisually) but for a lighter sports car, chrome wheels look out of place. I thingk the standard 18" fit the design very well, but you can do better performance wise, so if I do go aftermarket, I will look for very simple, clean rims for the Z (the NISMO ones are a good example) The Modas look great, very simple and clasic.

I prefer the Modas. While I'm fond of the standard rims Nissan has given us, I would have liked to have seen something with 5 spokes. First, the simplicity works with the cars no-nonsense appearance. And second, an even number of spokes on a car makes it appear more static. An odd number visually implies movement.
After saying that, I'm just going to leave the standard rims on my Performance model.
But, thanks for the shots. It's just evidence that you can do some good-looking aftermarket work on the car.

I like the 6-spoke. The Z's design is so straightforward and simple. If the wheels are too complex, they overide the shape of the car and attract too much attention.
What I'd like to see are the wheels from the G35 Coupe on the Z. They're very close to what I wanted.

but gonna get the enthusiast, can't afford the rays edition one 
I have yet to see the white in person, can you describe how the white looks? flat in the sun? a bite of more pearl in it? does it have a deep shine at night like most black cars...etc. thanks.
I like the Rays a lot more than any of those shown here. When some track model guy wants to sell his Rays I will be all over them. I think they might look pretty good powder coated white on my Daytona with Frost interior.
