I have a 2005 CS Track Z and have been looking for some aftermarket wheels since I purchased the Z in January.

I am looking for a 19" wheel that not only will clear the Brembos but give the car a real "lift". Consequently I have come to the conclusion that I need a wheel with some degree of chrome / high polish finish to pick up the aluminium in the door handles and light fittings and contrast with the silver paintwork.

The wheels that I have previously considered are:

Stern (wont clear the brakes without a spacer?)
IForged Evos (brake clearance problem as well?)
Axis Hiro (not enough lip on the front rims)

I'm now deciding between:

Volk GT-AV (not yet available?)
Volk Challenge
Volk GT-C
Enkei RP03 (not sure if this would be too much silver)

Any thoughts on these wheels (or others which you think would suit a CS Z) would be most appreciated - photos would be even better!

Thanks in advance.

 

I have a set of silver GT-C's on my CS Z. Sometimes I feel it looks just right, other times I feel that its too much silver and that a gunmetal GT-C would have been better. here is a pic of my car and my buddies supra to give you a bit of an idea.





Edit: yeah, it does need lowered, but a set of tein springs are in the works goodluck with your choice.

 

go with the gt-av. the gtc are very common one nicely modified 350z's. the gt-av are a brand new style and it will definitely make you stand out. i think the spokes on the gtc are too wide for the z as well.

 

pics- Here a few from around this site.

 

go mesh ...

C4 Multipiece w/ polished lip

 

Thanks for the replies.

Am I correct in thinking that Mercury Silver is much shinier and brighter than "standard" silver?

 

you are correct, the color is f'n dope.

 

If you want the lighter wheel look on your CS then the iForged in Satin finish look great. Please don't go chrome!

 

Im going through the same **** with these wheels. I have trying to make up my mind for a month. Chrome silver is hard to match up with rims. I like the racing hart

 

Good to hear I'm not the only one with this problem!

At the moment it's Volk GT-AV VS Challenge (Mercury Silver) for me.

 

Here's mine. I'm kinda conservative. These are brushed aluminum face, polished lip iForged RS Aeros. You can order them with the proper offset to clear your Brembo's.

 

I have a 2004 CS touring, but i think im going to go with the Bronze Nismo lm gt4 rims. I like the silver nismos but i feel bronze is something different!
