Ruff Racing or Stern Wheels?!?! For PPW Z (PICS INSIDE)
Can't decide on Ruffing Racing 278 or Stern ST-1 for my 04 PPW Z...
Hope you guys can help me make a decision
...
I am kinda leaning toward the Ruff Racing 278, but the Stern ST-1 look so good as well...
By the way, I am still looking for 350Z with Stern ST-1 wheel... plz post it up if you have some
here's some pics of the wheels....

I just got the ruff racing 278's and they are amazing. Pictures can't justify the looks of them compared to real life. Also, from what I've heard, they are some of the strongest cast wheels that you can buy. Keep in mind that those pictures are the 18". The 19"
are the way to go. Call nfs motorsports and tell them that eric with the Z told you to call. They'll hook you up.

It look agressive?? I actually think it look classic imo
I dunno its just me or what... the Stern ST-1 look similar to the new G35 wheels... (or one of the factory G35 wheels)

Oh, yea....
This is the setup I am going for.... not an aggressive look
The Z in the pics run Stern ST-2 Chrome color...
but I'm not big fan of chrome...

The sterns are just too heavy. I like the looks of them, and I actually almost purchased them. I think they are 35 lb a piece w/o tires. I weighed the ruffs w/o tires and they weighed 30 lb in the back and 27 lb in the front. I'm actually glad that I didn't get the sterns. They aren't nearly as durable as the ruff racing, and the chrome sorta takes away from the overall sportiness. But, I guess everyone has different opinions. Like I said, pictures don't do the ruffs justice. You have to see them in real life to appreciate them 100%. They almost look like brabus wheels.
