Ok, the only reason why I wouldn't pick those wheels is because the Z's design is simple and clean; the BBS LM editions have complex spokes with notches all around it. Kinda clashes with the overall design of the car.

How about these in either 5 or 6 spoke:

5Zigen MK-5


5Zigen MK-6


They're not available for the Z yet though

Do you know how much they weigh? They do look nice, and it would be nice if I could see them on the actual car. Tirerack has yet to post the 350Z on the virtual install page.

Default BBS LM

I love the BBS LM its the wheel I would pick and hope to put on my 350Z. Do they have the sizes required to fit the 18" tires? What about price? Whats the best price you have been able to find?

I wouldn't put the BBS LM on a Z personally, it just doesn't look right for some reason. I think a more simple, clean design complements the car well.

I like the BBS rims on some cars, like BMW's, Audi's, VW's. But I personally think they look too busy for the Z.

Looks gorgeous.

Only problem is price. They'll run you back something like $700, $2800 for a set. Personally I like the BBS CH too.

The BBS LM in my opinion is the only rim in the world that looks good on every car.

I think those rims will look really good... make sure you get deeper dish in the rear. That will look really hot!!!

Eh. They look like they belong on a snobby BMW. But that's just my opinion. And when it comes to stuff like this, you gotta go with what you like best. Who gives a rat's *** what other people think!

Yeah, those are my favorite wheels. Can't wait until I can get a set to put on my Z. Forgeline and HRE make some wheels that are similar to those, but they are a lot more expensive, I believe. I think it's $3600 for a set of 18" HRE wheels.

The rims from Axis Engineering that are shown on the yellow custom painted Z that has been posted several times are also very nice.
