Default What kind of Rims Do you have on your Z?

If this is a repost I appologize. I was wondering what kind of rims you put on your baby, and how much they cost you.

Why I ask? I am planning on saving up some extra money for some nice ones and want to know what kind people are buying and how much it would cost me. Went to tirerack.com and say some nice ones but they were 1k per rim =\


Anyways share the love, and post pics if you got them Im really interested!

what you want from tirerack are the BBS or SSR rims
(super light)
good for track use (light weigh is the key to winning)

Nismo 18's. $2200. Got them because they were very light, good looking and VERY easy to keep clean. I am one of those people who has to keep every spec of dirt and dust off the car, so wheels that are tough to clean were out. Real world performance also matters to me, and I have learned that wheel/tire weight makes such a huge difference in how the car drives. 18's are the right combination, for my 40 year old butt, in terms of ride, looks, handling. I'm not sure I would have liked the ride of 19's with my Nismo suspension.

Not to jack the site, but i have a question about rims too.
-if i go with 19's X 9.0 and 10.5, and i lower the car. Will i need to do any fender mods?
-will i need spacers?
-when it say "offset, +19,etc." what does that # represent?

We hid information about wheels and photos in the wheel forum to confound new members. I thinks its working.
