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 have the Ruff Racing 279's, I would go with Ruff not a bad wheel for the money.

 

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.

 

I like the Stern ST-1, fresh style and more agressive. 278 looks kinda outdated and cheap imo.

 

Thanks for the hookup!

yea... 19" is the one I'm looking for...

 

That's why I need pics of 350z with Stern ST-1....

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.

 

Don't like either brand, but that particular Stern wheel looks better than that particular Ruff wheel.

 

i really like the ruff 278 wheels. ive seen them on westpak's car (the blue one in the picture) and they look awesome.

 

i have the st-1 on my sb z. iwanted the gloss black but they were out of
stock so i got the hyper black 19 s 245/35 275/30. looks good
i might take them off and get them powder coated next season.looks
real good as they spin.

 

they both look good but if the ruff's are lighter i would go with those to bad their not glossy black like the sterns

 

how about Axis Hiros for around the same price? Silver Hiros look very very clean on PPW.

 

Hey you found pics of my car. Memories. So yeah those stern wheels are sooooo heavy. I mean I switched the chromies for volk challenges and the difference is night and day. Here is a pic I found of the Stern Beast. Enjoy.

 

on their own, sterns look better than the 278s imo

although they do look great on westpak's car... but it might be the bbk and drop

 

I think a drop is a must for going aftermarket wheels...
