I've been looking like crazy all over the net for the right set of wheels. The Z is going chrome, and I am looking for a nice set of chrome 19" or 20" rims for my Z. I want some crazy looking rims with a deeeeeeeep dish. Please make suggestions, all are always greatly appreciated.

 

I hope you have your flame-proof suit ready...

 

Instead of going with a Chrome wheel, how about going with a fully polished wheel? It will give you similar properties, but I think it will be a better alternative. Good luck.

 

Take yo gat, and jack a fool wit sum dub's.....bling in da new year!

 

Sometime I read a post and think that its serious. Then after a minute I realize that someone is pulling my leg (in a friendly way). Chrome wheels. You almost had me there for a minute.

 

Thanks for the imo guys

 

Hey, I was being serious. I guess you can add "IMO," in front of my statement.

 

i love chrome wheels. im thinking about getting these for my SB Z.

 

Well the whole car is literally going chrome, don't know if you seen the post in the "350Z" section. I'm painting the car with a custom chrome paint, which will make it look like this car: www.chromem3.com So I was looking for a good set of chrome 19's or 20's to put on the Z. My main question was, if you guys suggest a nice set of rims to install, but already found some, but thanks for the imo BhashaZ.

 

Wow.

 

Alright, that's cool. Which ones did you decide on?

BTW, the reason I say no to chrome wheels is because the chrome wheels I tend to see on Z's end up being ones with horrible offsets and the wrong sizes, i.e., 8.5" all around and offsets in the 40s...but if you can find a quality staggered wheel with proper offsets, then go for it. If you can't find one, a high-polished wheel will be a good alternative as well since it will look similar to chrome.

Anyways, good luck with your paint and wheels!

 

Those actually look pretty good and I think Ruff wheels are relatively inexpensive. I also think they make decent offsets for the Z.

 

Where could I view a gallery of all their rims. A good distributor.

 

I found two sets that caught my eye. Both 20" for $2,064 with tires.

I think it'll look cool if you could get the entire car chromed out but I really don't think it'll be street legal in the states when it's done.

 

I agree with BhashaZ ... Instead of chrome, I suggest getting an all-polished quality wheel like iForged or something.

Chrome = suck
Polished & forged = win

 

I like the look and it looks alot like the chrome that will go on the car. Also, the chrome paint that is going on the exterior is said by PPG to be state legal. The sample they showed wasn't the brightest chrome, it looked more like a vintage airplane polished aluminum look. Very nice imo. But that pic of the polished looks alot better than chrome now that I seen a rim with the finish and will match up alot better with my cars exterior. Thanks for the tips guys, really appreciate it.

Well in that case, best of luck to you and I hope you post some pics when it's done.

 

Not a big chrome guy myself, but I don't see why some of you guys think polished is okay, but chrome somehow "sucks." Other than the chrome being heavier, the two will give a similar look, but polished will take much more time to clean and maintain. If that's the look your after, might as well get the chrome as it will give the shine and pop you're looking for.

To the original poster, if you're actually going to put the money and effort in getting a chrome paintjob, then there shouldn't be a reason to skimp on the wheels.

 

I disagree. Volk polished lips for example are clearcoated. They clean up just as easily as any wheel or the rest of the car when it's dirty. The only benefit to actual chrome would be that you can use wheel cleaner, but using wheel cleaner doesn't actually make the cleaning process any faster from my experience.
