Default Does anybody know these rims?

I've been trying to find out for months already... I'm completely stumped. Does anybody know the name, model, or make, or where in the world I can get them?



I mean look at them... if the M3 CSL's rims are THE rims for the E46 M3, IMO, these are THE rims for the 350Z...

Oh, and hello everybody! I was lurking across different 350Z sites, and this one looked like the best one, so I thought I would join. Hope to be a part of the community. Cheers!

Hmm?

Kinda looks like the J-Line 20RL2 but it's not since the J-Lines have a lip and more spokes.

Welcome by the way .

Got it! The "Sparco" logo on the side of the car gave it away. It's the "Racing Sparco NS6".

Uhhh...no problem but nobody (unless you're a hot female ) is going to give me any hug, especially from behind

If you get these, post some pics. I'd be real interested in seeing how it looks like from different angles. Good luck!

I'll gladly ship anywhere in the world! Freight costs do get high crossing the pond though.

GTNPU Z: I will as soon as I find a white 350Z... they don't sell that colour in the UK, would you believe? So I'm still trying to find a decent importer - especially one that will really (honestly) get me a brand new Japanese-spec one.

Chris@DTD: Give me a quote mate. I'm fully aware of shipping costs, but it might still be cheaper for me to get them from you, than from somebody here.

Wow! That is strange . Well, good luck on your search. I'm sure you'll find one out there just right for you .

I hope so. I also don't want a UK spec one because they apparently (according to the rumour) dropped the engine's output by 10bhp... why? I have no idea.

And, while you chaps over in the USA have touring spec, track spec, or whatever spec, we've got:

a) normal spec
b) the roadster
c) the Gran Turismo limited edition... which only has 2 colours, and costs a whopping £29,995 (almost $60 grand).

So aside from the white 350Z, I also need the Racing Sparco rims, a new ECU, Nismo exhaust, Nismo suspension, crossed-drilled discs...

*sigh*

Smells like a long and expensive project in the making...

Lol. The one I have in mind should look a few shades nicer than that.

Random question...

Is RACING SPARCO in any way related to SPARCO the seat makers?

Hmm? That's a good question. My initial thought is no since the manufacturer is actually a company named "Crimson Inc." in Japan. Also, if you go to SparcoUSA's main website, you won't find anything on rims. From the looks of it, "Racing Sparco" is just the name of the series of rims these guys sell. Here's their link: http://www.crimson-inc.co.jp/index2.html

The original pic did have a black 350Z, and they did look stunning.

I've noticed that the 350Z looks very good with rims that have the centre area designed inward, while the spokes extend outward similar to the Honda Dualnote concept or the Range Stormer concept.

Hell, look at the limited edition 350Z (30th anniversary edition), those spokes are inward at the centre, while the spoke extend outward. Rims that play with those cues in mind look fantastic on the 350Z, as the rims above just proved.
