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.

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