Default Need help! Recommadation on light weight rims around $1700

Hello,
I need recommendation on light weight rims that cost around $1700 in 18". So far I only see Black Racing N1 rims that fit this window. I am new to this hobby so I want to play it safe and learn from someone that have more knowledge. Also recommend me on the off set of the rim. Which offset will push the rim out such that it is even with the wheelwell? 22mm perhap? I still have 2 more months to think before the car arrive. Thanks for the help.

Bob

Nice rim at a nice price. How much does it weight? And do you have the picture of it on your Z. Thanks again.

Bob.

Z is a much better sports car, but the G is very comfortable, and with all of the amenities, it makes a great daily driver. Although neither is my daily driver. I drive an S-10 to work!

There's a hookup on these wheels for like $2000.00 in 18's, forged three piece wheel made in Japan. 18,8.5 and 9.5. But the offsets are +44 and +45.



I had the RPM2's. They are a great wheel. I loved em. Real nice style with a very lightweight. Only thing I wished was that it had a lip. hehe. Everyone I've ever spoken to about that wheel always says, "I just wish it had a lip." You'll really like the wheels.
