Well my peeps, Z Day is almost upon us! And I know many of you are seriously contemplating if not (like me) definitely planning to get slammin' new wheels to accent your Z. I will now post up a few of my personal favorites! But none of the following, which are all Extremely Good choices are "The One" I am still planning to get. Once I mount them on my car, I'll poost up pics. Until then, if you have yet not decided, let me tempt your visual senses!

 

And then some!

 

i like them all...
probably cuse they all look the same deep dish with little thingys around the edge to me
i guees i like the black ones the most... cause there black heh
and the one to the right of the black ones... those look cool to... which model are you getting?
cause if your gettin track thats the rims i like the most

 

Well D. My wheels are not pictured here, but rest assured, they are on the same likeness: Silver Multi-Piece 19 in.

 

I thought I smelled rims... I was really leaning hard toward the Advan Model 5s, but I stumbled upon some other options, so I need opinions:
Antera 321
The Connoisseur
Volk SE37A

 

How about 19" HRE 446?

Droool

 

REMEMBER: Make sure you rim-newbies all check out the lips on those rims. Say to yourself, "I will scrape a curb, how much damage will be inflicted?" I persoanlly will get rims with a machined portruding lip.

 

That's why you can buy replacement lips direct from HRE for a reduced cost

 

Don't worry; neither I nor TX are strangers to big rims. I've actually scraped a rim once in 5 years.

 

just one question, do you guys know what the blot pattern and wheel offset will be?
thanks

 

oo i like those rims that VQ posted
AND daytona posted also heh

 

my favorite wheels are the Racing Hart C5's and Ace Manta's

 

Hey VQ, who makes those rims? Are they lightweight? What model are they?

 

daytona350z,

According to the manual (which I downloaded a while ago, but I can't remember where), the wheel sizes and offsets are:

17"

F - 17x7.5, 30mm
R - 17x8, 33mm

18"
F - 18x8, 30mm
R - 18x8, 30mm
R - 18x8.5, 33mm (Track Version)

Hope this helps.

-D'oh!

 

thanks!
guess i missed that in the manual

 

OMG those are the ones!! See VQ, you are The Man around here!!

 

I'm not a big fan if rivits fake or otherwise

 

Ditto that. I didn't really like the other rims posted.

 

I agree. The others had rivots that look bad with the Z's sleek lines. This rim looks great.

 

I do have a question, though...

Can we change the rims if we have the tire pressure sensors? The tire pressure sensors are supposed to, I believe, work on detecting the rotation speed of the wheel.

If that is true and we replace the rim, won't the rotation speed change? I know an 18" rim is an 18" rim, but there is a small difference between manufacturers. Is the difference is so negligible that it doesn't matter?

Thanks,
Todd
