Default Why would you get new rims for your Z?

Just wondering what the main reason is that you would get or already did get new rims for your 350z?

wider wheels for more traction is more of a perk. I got them for looks.

Because it makes the girlies want to bend over with their tight little skirts on to get a better look at the wheels, and then ....well u know the rest.

definately for the looks first and the increased grip and handling is a definate plus as well.

i just think its a fine line between the 18 inch stock rims that look okay with the 17 inch stock rims which i think look like a joke. I know the style is essentially the same but the extra spoke on the 17 for some reason just looks nasty!!!!

as you can probably tell i had the 17's and just had to get rid of them!!!!

It's all about that staggered stance which in all makes the car look extremely aggressive.

to each their own!!!!!

i can see how people would like the 17's i guess, especially those that like the aftermarket rims with a lot of spokes also. I guess I am more of a mag type guy, thats why the rims I ended up with are five spoke versus some of the others out there, well, like the ones in your sig. nice rims, but not for me.
