Good luck finding good wheels with tires for that much. At least new ones, whatever you do, don't cheap out on wheels and tires, they are the only contact your car has with the road. If you can't modify well don't modify at all imo. Save up a little more, it will be well worth it. try www.tirerack.com

Some 19" Enkei's can work...

$2780 for Enkei RP03's with BF Goodrich KDW2's...

a little more... but well worth the difference...

GWAPITO69,

Where did you get your wheels/tires? Did you say $2200 shipped?


I am near the pasadena area. Care if I check it out in person?


What part of LA are u in?

Gwapito,


Your mailbox is full.

I think I talked to him before too (via email) about a set of hiros. He said something about have connection to Axis .

On ebay, he has the starting bid of $999. He wouldn't sell it to me for $1000. He wanted $1075.

You got his number?

Did the rims have an "defect" when you bought it. I am afraid its not straight from Axis.

Yours is staggered right?

Thanks,
Tony

Get yourself a set of axis hiro's for about that price. Or check out wheelmax.com... the HP Evo's are cheap.. i think for 19s like 1500-1800.

I believe that you can only get Axis wheels with that price range. Of course you can get something used or bad quality, but Axis should be best bang for the buck. good luck!

1.5-2k is not a realistic range. i posted a similar thread once, because i am looking to spend as little as possible and still get a decent wheel. you need to adjust your range to 2-2.3k. at this range, you will begin to see more options on wheels that look pretty damn nice. volks and rh are out of the question, but here is what i have gathered

hp evo - 1899
axis milano - 2150
axis hiro - 2100
axis supermesh - 2150
privat profil - 2100
tsw thruxton - 2100

based on what you are looking for (black w/ a polished lip), i would highly reccomend tsw thruxtons. they are cheap, have a enormous lip, and a are 5-spoke with a hyper black finish. there is another thread going on about these wheels.. so check it out!

the milanos and supermesh are probably the 2 best axis wheels you can get. if you are going to save 3000.... i would get the 5Zigen Hyper 5ZR in 19s for 3200! those are the best wheels possible for the 350z (in my opinion). they look like they were made for the car.
