I dunno. I don't like the thought of buying used wheels... How do you verify they're not bent or anything before you dish out the money for 'em?

go see them in person ... you can feel the bends, see the curb rash, or get them balanced if need be ...

visual inspection will cover almost all of your worries.

PS - we live in SoCal ... 20% of the Z in the US in 2003 were sold to CA ... there are a lot of people here with Zs that will eventually swap out the wheels. You may have to drive to LA or something to check it out ... and you may end up wasting a bunch of gas if they are not what you expected. Then again, you may find a killer deal

a la mike's $500 axis mod7s , you bastard!!!

I would guess quality.

First off.... which exact wheels do you want.

What are the sizes, bolt paterns and offsets. We are here to help you out .... but if you get chrome spinners .... I will end you

Josh, check out the Enkei PK6's, they are nice looking 18's and come in sizes that fit the Z. Do a search, there are a few members w/ this set up.


Or you can go 19's

Check these TSW Thruxton's out, $240/wheel on Discount Tire Direct.



under $1200 for a set 19x8 and 19x9.5 (I think they have a +25 offset available, you gotta ask) http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...07924&zc=92126


Axis makes some good looking wheels too that are very affordable.

Jus helpin' out bro
