Default 2004 Roadster Wheel Options

Hello All,

Picked up a 2004 roadster two weeks back with 26K on the clock. Have made some subtle adjustments such as tint, grille, exhaust and intake (last two pointless as I have researched more here)

So...want to know what the community thinks about these rim options? I do not ever hit the track and just want cruising around town and the occasional long highway drive. The current city I am in now has pretty bad streets but will be moving back east in a few months.

Suggestions are greatly appreciated!

18 & 19" options.

They are both cheap and fake multi-piece looking wheels, there are much better options out there. Don't take offense or get butt hurt since you asked for an opinion.

The specs should be a minimum of x9 width and offsets lower than +25. Look through these pages to find something you like and go from there.

Yes, wheels will look different based on the color of the car and maybe even the body style.

Personally, if I'm spending that kind of money, I would spend it at a local shop/store. If a problem pops up it could make it a lot easier to resolve.

Keep in mind you can also use wheels from a G35 if you want a perfect fit and maybe save some cash. 17's, 18's, 19's there's a bunch to choose from and you will always be able to get a replacement if you break one.

thanks for the info...went by a local dealer and he had some options that were pretty close on price and asked about some 1 piece wheels as well.

One of the most important things to know is the offsets when buying your wheels. Do some research on wheel offsets to further understand before buying.

I would suggest 19" wheels.....offsets: front +15 to +20, rear +20 to +25.
