get the volks. I had a friend look around and get some more info on wheels. He especially looked at both volk and iForged. For iForged he found this:

There is this thing where they have to have insurance on the wheels. The company that is, let say the wheel falls apart. I heard it took them 4 times to get it while it took other company 1 or 2 times. This is what i was told.

This is in no way to disrespect the company or anybody who has the wheels. I am not disrespecting anyone or saying these wheels suck. This is what i heard .

I personally would go with 20's becuase the wheels stand out more. You can even drop with 20's no big deal.

And you say either Polished or gunmetal? Damn thats a hard one since you have black. I couldnt decide on that one.

Pick one or the other, because Volk doesn't make 20's AFAIK

Exactly...if I could get a 20" SF-Challenge the world would be a great and happy place....20" LE37s rolling around...wow...

but they dont...so I am stuck here trying to decide...

iforged aeros are much nicer than you think...(when i got mine and put them on i realized that no picture on the net could REALLY show how nice a wheel is)

anyway..for a black i think 20" polished iforged would look great

you can even get a Brushed face and polished lip

whatever you want basically....

the stealth look is cool (gunmetal)...so i guess its your choice

I'd get the IForged but I have alterior motives for saying that..
I have some gunmetal SF-Challenges on the way for my Black w/Willow coupe..
It wouldn't be that bad to have a twin though!

Bill-

The best price I was able to find was at Bulletproof. They beat the next best price I was able to find which was at MVP Motorsports. Look in the 350Z section under Wheels. They've increased the price of the gunmetal since then but the silver one's are a steal since they include the center caps and everything.

MVP Motorsports

Another place Upgrade Motoring had a 15% discount on their wheels and their price was pretty good.

Upgrade Motoring

I would definitely PM MATIX and see what his best price is.

1. First of all forget the 19's! You will kick yourself in the @ss I promise! The 19's are perfect on the Z but the G is bigger and the 20's are perfect!!

2. Don't get the Aero's! Too many people are starting to get them
. Seriously, you can't go wrong with either wheel but personally I would get gunmetal no matter which wheel you get. I also like the GT7's also on a G.

You've been talking about getting wheels now for 6 months buster! Let's get with it!

lol...I know I have been...but the credit cards have been beating me up...did my system first...

I love the gunmetal, but I am not a fan of the iForged look with their gunmetal for some reason. I like the Aeros and the evolutions still....may have to go polished though...need to see more pics fo the gunmetal on the iForgeds...

Hey havabooz, got your wheels finally I see. Those veilside wheels are definitely tight! Look great on your car! That looks like the RKYE(sp?)Motorsports G, is that it? I just remember those beautiful powdercoated calipers that match the car.
