Default New 350z What Rims?

Hey I just recently bought a silver 2004 Nissan 350z off craigs list and I was starting to price rims and realized how damn expensive they are. I would like to stance my 350z so I was curious if there is a place to get cheaper rims online, or what is the cheapest way to get and good set of stanced rims and what size is recomended 18inch or 19inch????????????

Wheels are not cheap. look on craigslist or the marketplace on this site for some used wheels. Try searching before posting.

You sound like a cheap guy.Bought your Z on Craigs...like the word cheap/cheapest.
We've got that down.
There are some things that you don't want to go cheap.Rims are one.
Sure,you could go for the best forged/lightweight wheels.They will cost you
a mint.I'm thinkin you're more interested in looks than performance...
As already posted,there are some good buys in used wheels out there.
Also,some brands offer great wheels for a decent price.Enkei is a good example.
IMO,is what you want.But then,new tires.Again,don't go cheap.
The logic I use is,how often do you change/buy wheels?Those babies will be on your
car as long as you own it!So,spending an extra 500-1,000 bucks over that time...you do the math.

So many rims out there... I suggest not to go cheap on them & also on the tires... Your Z would love u if u put some nice pair of whips on them... Stock rims r ok! & I've seen people paint/powder coat their rims & it turned out really good... If u decide to paint have it professionally powder coated, it will last longer... Not unless u find some good deal on CL again for a good deal

Sounds you like need to do your research before you purchase any type of "rim". So please start your research on correct sizes and offsets. If you're on a budget, pick up a quality used wheel from the "for sale" section. If you just want to pick up a cheap set of wheels, get either the rays 18" track wheels version 1 from the 03 Z or the rays 19" forged wheels off the G35. Pickup some spacers to make it sit more aggressive and then have them powdered to the color of your liking.
