Default ok i have $3000 to spend on wheels help~!!!

I have a SB Z...was wondering what kind of wheels(with tires) cost about 3k and looks really good. I was thinking of getting bronze/gunmetal 19" rims from volks or racing hart(preferably 5 spokes). I think black on black is played out IMO...is my budget too low or is this good enough to get decent rims? never fixed up a car before but I just fell in love with the Z

pictures with your cars or just the rims pics, hell any comments would be greatly appreciated

You can denfinitly find some volks or raceinghart wheels in your price range, these two brands are some of the most popular wheel brands amoung 350z tunners. Up your budget 500. and you can go for some of the latest special colors offerd by raceinghart(sbc) or volk(rmc). I myself am thinking of selling my Maya gr5 for volk gt-v in RMC coating

Just did mine lest Friday...see my signature for details. I'll try to do the picture thing soon...but the g-games wheels are sweet, they are made by Rays...and the KDW tires are awsome, I actually wanted the KDW2's but I ordered wrong...I stilllove the tires they just don't have as aggresive a tread as the KDW2's.

The gunmetal surrounded by clearcoat aluminum wheels looks awsome...I love the combo.

May want to stay with 18's if your looking for performace, and you get a little better selection. Make sure you get all your sizes and offsets right too.

Good luck.

Fritz

for example, the vendors that are on this forum or other z forums....pm or call them and ask them for the pricing on the wheels/tires u want. they usually offer pretty competitive pricing for products. sometimes they offer "forum discounts" as well".
good luck

get 19 inch Titanium silver CE28N Volks. If you don't mind rolling the fender get9.5 and 10.5 +22mm for some decent lip front and rear. ALso light weight, I think they are the lightest rims volk makes next to TE37 Mags.
