Default Can't Decide need help with Wheel desision

Let me start off by saying I have scoured the forums with the search function for nearly 2 days looking for Daytona Blue Z's with the wheels I want. So I guess I am calling you guys out. I have seen calls out for every color but it seems blue. Anyway...

The rims Choices are... I am not sure on color either i was learning toward bronze but can't make up my mind. Not sure if it clashes to much for me.

Volk TE37's

Volk Challenge's

Gram Lights 57 Pro

Axis Hiro's

The sizes I will probably get are 19" Fronts - 9.5 Rear - 10.5 Offsets I believe i will stick with 22...But your welcome to throw in suggestions. Also you should know I don't plan to lower the car unless putting on Nismo R-Tune Suspension does that. I think that covers it and thanks for posting.

What's a desision, it sounds like a medical procedure.

If you want better performance, go with the TE37s, as they are light and look great on the Z. If you want a more bling-bling look, the SF Challenges are gorgeous wheels. BTW, gold TE37s look spectacular on DB Zs

OK, Zlife... I'm still partial to these (!)

One of my friends - seeing the car with the NISMOs for the 1st time - said "looks like a grown man's car!" Whatever that means... anyway, she really liked the combo.

I have seen a set of silver LMGT4s in person, and the pictures just do not do them justice. AT ALL! These are gorgeous rims. But, having said that, I prefer the look of a rim with a deep lip.

2 days? I spent about 2 weeks looking at wheels, your best bet is to find some wheels you like take some pics of your car at about the same angle and photoshop it.

Yeah I do like the nismo's I just don't think I can't get those in a wide enough rim. But that's only what a read on the Rays website. Anyway they do look good and very similar to the wheels I am looking at. Thanks for posting the pic man.

Well I am on a time crunch because my tires are getting slightly bald now. I have read in the forums that Volks are on back order so I dunno I'd rather go ahead and get the here now. By the way I have been wheel shopping for about really a year...just the last 2 days have been pretty serious shopping.

So i guess no one liked the Gram lights huh? I thought they looked pretty pimp.

I think as of this moment leaning toward the te37 and the Challenger.

So either I am going to lean toward race car look or more eligant look.

The other thing is definitly color...I think the more baller status color would be bronze as in its harder to pool off and people have mix oppions on them.

Gun Metal has there advantages because you don't have to keep them Super Clean for them to always look good. Sorry but I don't want to be cleaning my wheels everyday.

Silver does look very good. Now is the silver on TE37's similar to what I already have on my Track Z right now or is more polish look? I can't really tell on photo's it looks the same I guess.

I have seen plenty of Z in pics with 19's no lowering. It looks fine to me. But I was wandering does the NISMO R Turn suspension lower your car any?

Speaking of trucks do any of your guys have those people putting 26's on there oldmobiles. Thats something that just started appearing around when I am out the last couple months. To freaking weird.

I vote for the TE37 in silver. The Nismo would be my 2nd choice.
