Color looks nice but your going to have a really hard time with rim color... Cobra's with the mystic usually keep polished OEM wheels but a Bright Bronze might help you out.

Checklist for wheels for you

18 or 19 inch
Front wheel 9 to 10 inch with an offset of +25 to +10 , lower the offset the further they stick out. Low offset is best for narrow tires 245 to 255 and higher offset is better for wider tires 265 to 275.

Rear wheel 10 to 11 with the same +25 to +10 offset. Higher offset number is better for 285 to 305 rear tires , lower offset is better for 265 to 275 rear tires.

Look around at the link I posted for styles you like, if they meet the above criteria , post the link and ask us.

I'm not really sure what that means by Cobra's with the mystic usually keep polished? But I'll try looking for something bronze, maybe gunmetal grey? I don't know


Those rims are sick that you posted, but I'm assuming they are probably about 2,000 +
Also, I'm not big into "stance" where the wheels look like they bulge out and some of them even look slanted, I don't understand it and I feel it looks funny.


terrasmask I'll start looking for some of the rims that will fall into that criteria today, although I don't fully understand it, you can try to explain the numbers after I find a pair that I think looks good. Btw, are any of the rims on that sight under $1,000 ? Because I really don't know if I could spend much more than that right now.

Varrstoen wheels are cheap and at $1k , just in your range. They are probably the best you will get for what you want to pay. Look at the styles they offer.


Those polished SSR wheels are probably closer to $4k

race credentials? not really. but an I/HFC/Y/CB would be nice.. IMHO, a flashy as a paintjob this is w/o engine power is more laughable.

I'll check them out, I kinda like the gold and bronze colored ones but what is so difficult is knowing if it will look good with the car's paint.

Usually people with outlandish paint jobs are more show than go. Why do you think you see all those crazy colored cars at the dub shows and what not? However, I understand your train of thought and would agree that the more power the better.

Those might look pretty dam good, now look thru the wheel and tire section for pics of fitment and tire sizing. You need to decide on +22 or +12

I was looking under the gallery on their website at the track 200 with different fittings on the 350z. Go to their gallery, scroll down to Nissan, and then look at the pictures of the orange 350z. That z has ET12 and that looks awesome. So what does the ET number mean exactly? Like I see some with ET 22 and then the orange one has ET 12?

ET is the offset of the wheel. ET22 is +22 and ET12 is +12 offset. The +12 (depending on tire size) would require you to modify the rear fenders slightly depending on your suspension setup.

Mustang Cobra's came in that color and most of them kept the stock polished wheels.

So would I have to do anything for these? And what do spacers do; in relation to these wheels?

A +22 wheel with a 10mm spacer changes the offset to +12.


Sitting at +22 you may have to slightly roll the rear fenders. Not all tires are the same published width.

So if I bought the rims even without the spacers I would have to roll the fender?

Ruthless18x so basically... you like nothing about the car lmao.

Yes, You'll have to roll the rears. I have 19x9.5/10.5 +12 TE37's(Varrs are knockoffs of this wheel) and I had to roll the rears. Tire choice is going to make or break the set up.

Flo-ridaZ33 I guess I'm not understanding why I would have to roll the rear even without the spacer? And just to get an idea, how much does fender rolling cost?

JDSMotoring, post a pic of which ones you would think would look good on it! Thanks! :thumb up:

ALSO you all never told me what you guys thought about getting the N2 body kit for the car!
