Default Recommend me some wheels for the Z

I've looked around a lot but figure there are some that I've missed. My requirements:

18", staggered fitment (for example, 18x8.5 & 18x9.5).
Some sort of silver - silver/steel grey/gunmetal. No black, gold, bronze, red, blue, yellow, etc.
Something 5-7 spokes, no mesh or web wheels. Thin or thick spokes, both look good.
No multi-piece or multi-piece look with the bolts or rivets.
Inexpensive, has to be <$1500 for the set, <$1000 is even better.

Right now I'm looking at the Rota P45F/R combo, looking for alternatives.

Kazera KZ-A :



A bunch of members have these. They also come in the correct size/offset for the Z (I don't think Rota does)

Wait for people to start putting rims on their 06's. Buy someone's OEM 06 rims, which are the same or similar to the 05 35AE rims. They look nice.

It's actually an '06 that I will be receiving soon. I'm not really a big fan of the wheels though. No other suggestions? Am I looking in too cheap a price range?

$1,500/4 will get you heavy cast wheels. At $2,000 you are in light weight forged territory.

Yeah, I almost bought the PIAA super rozza. Then I said to myself, why would I spend so much on a cast rim, when a few more hundred $ gets me Volks?

I would go with some Axis Revebs .

http://www.350zonline.com/store/cust...&cat=72&page=1

They come in a staggered fitment and are name brand.

They are also light, low priced, and look nice.

I've been thinking about these Kazera KZ-A's in 18". Is the 9 1/2" lip wider than the 8 1/2"? I want that deeper dish look in the back.
