Default Debating on which set of rims to get...

I'm about to get a set of 19" rims finally for my Z, and I am confused on which ones to get. First is, I really like the ADR M-Sport, but I feel alot of 350z owners have them, and I don't want something played out, but I do think they look GREAT on a Z. I have a CS and want a little bit of contrast with it as I am gonna be smoking out the tail lights and gettin the overlays for the front headlights, so I want either black/hyperblack/gunmetal rims. The three rims I am choosing from are:
All gonna be 19x9.5 in the rear, and 19x18.5 in the front

TSW Kyalami


OR

TSW Volcano


OR

ADR M-Sport



The problem with the two TSW wheels are that i've never seen them on a 350z, and don't know how fat the lip would be on the Kyalami. I have tried searching through the web with no results, and even searched google for pictures of a 350z and those wheels. Also what size tires would go good with these rims, i'm thinking 275/35/19 for the rears but I don't want too much tire to be shown, I really like the low profile look.

If any one can do a photo chop of it, or even get me better pictures, i would greatly appreciate it.

those are the only ones that i'm liking in my price range...if you know of any other rims that you think look nice, let me know. I'm trying to stay around $250 a wheel at the most, and I've been able to find those rims at about those prices.

ADR M Sport... looks like it has the wider lip. I'd say the 275/35/19 would look good. That seems to be the most popular set-up for 19" rims. Good luck!

I personally like the Volcanos if you can get the correct offsets to maximize your lip. However, why put on a set of 1K rims on a Z?

get some 19" OEM g35 coupe wheels. They're forged lightweight wheels made by rays and they look pretty good. You can get it for $1800ish with tires so that should be under your budget.

Money's tight, and I have to do alot of body work to the car because I got into a minor fender bender witht he front bumper and drivers side fender, so that accident is gonna come out of my money I had saved for rims. Originally I wanted a set of Volks, but there is no possible way I can save up for those, too many setbacks. Plus, I really do like those three rims, I would just like to see them on the car first though.

Whatever you decide, make sure it's what you really want. You don't want to look at your rims everyday and regret your purchase.

The volcanos are listed to have a 3" lip with the 9.5" width. Looks pretty good.



Or how about the TSW Turn 6? Then again, it looks like the OEM Track Rays which you are probably better off getting if you like the Turn 6
