Hi guys. I notice majority of the wheels on sale here are racing wheels and understandably so.

However, I am looking into the more "luxurious/show" look and not too much into the performance side. So what brands, vendors, websites, stores, etc have the best and most affordable selection of 19" chrome/polished rims?

I have found these which look nice and these are my top picks. These pics have them with 20" but thats too big for my tastes.

My budget is definitely under $2000 for everything.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

 

West Coast Customs should be able to help ya out.

 

look man just my 2 cents but you bought a sportss car right? So why would you kill the overall performance by getting cheaper heavy wheels? you do realize that when you buy cheaper chrome wheels there always very heavy and that will kill everything, braking, turning, acceleration, and suspension feel. Please dont do it.

 

Yes, I do realize what car I am buying. However, I am just as in love with the aesthetics sides of the car as much as the performance. The stock wheels have got to go so aftermarket wheels is a must.

Truth is, my car just got stolen yesterday and the Z happens to be very affordable at this point (prefer the G35 actually but a BIT out of my comfort zone $$ wise). So I don't actually have the car YET. Still debating.

In the mean time, I am just looking for wheel OPTIONS. Sporty wheels would be an option but I do not want to limit myself. And I have been into cars for years now so I know what I personally want to do. And please don't act like chrome rims are the only type of rims that add unnecessary weight to you car.


In fact, one of my favorite rims of ALL TIME are these:

But those are out of my price range for now.

Polished, chromed, and sporty are all nice IF tastefully done.

Well, no need to justify MY own tastes to you guys. To each their own.

So please, helpful responses would be appreciated.

 

"luxurious/show" & "affordable" don't go together. If you want something "luxurious/show", you'll definitely need to put down some money for some quality wheels. You don't want to skimp out or else you will regret it later when the product breaks apart on you. If you're lucky, you could probably find someone selling theirs on the personals that is within your price range. Also, if you have the need to get something "chrome looking", get "polished" instead. Looks just as good but without the extra weight of chroming. I personally have polished iForged. Good luck!

 

GTNPU Z: you are probably right =)

 

what i meant was, you said affordable chrome. Any affordable chrome will be heavy as hell.

 

BTW...Sorry to hear about your car being stolen. Were you in the city when it happened?

 

San Francisco,CA in front of my house! It was a 2000 Integra GSR 100% stock. And I know, from the import world I grew up in years ago, CHROME on a "sports" car was a huge no no.

I guess I like that polished/chrome look more now that I am older. But I would still take some classic Volks TE-37 over any other rim any day.

I can afford $3000 rims but it's the whole thief thing. I like stock everything but the stock rims on the Z isn't too appealing.

 

Yeah. That's why I refuse to drive my car in the city. Heard too many horror stories there. Did your car have an anti-theft/shock sensor installed? If not, looks to me you need to think about getting that first before you get your wheels. And when you do get your wheels, some nice locks. Obviously, if someone wants to really get your car they will but at least you'll slow them down. Hopefully, you'll catch them in the act so you can or they'll simply just walk away.
