I've decided I don't want a classy or pimp look. I want nasty. Really f**king nasty.

I'm looking for 18x8 and 18x9 in a max +30 offset, less than $400 per wheel and with a weight of 27 lbs. (stock rims) or less. So far I've found:

Black Racing N1 Pro - 18x8F 18x9R +30


Gewalt Evo III - 18x8F&R +30 (18x9 offset is too high)


I'd like a five or six spoke design and nothing with multi-fitments that leave you with that ugly-*** 10-hole look. Any others I should be aware of?

I like the Black Racing N1 Pro wheels in bronze for my Z (when I get it) But I have had trouble finding them in a +30 offset. Seems all the US distributiors can only get +38 offset. Let me know where you can get +30 in the states if you find them. I know the black racing offers +30, so WTF???

Look at the Enkei RPM2 Hyper Black Chrome, 18x9 and 18x8 fronts

look at my website under the color BLUE for the wheels.. very nice and light

only 18 LBS and the correct offset

Gewalts are a great Japanese wheel. I used to have a set of Gewalt Evolutions (3 piece mesh rim w/ polished lip), the best wheel I've ever owned. If they still made them and if they came in a 19" size, I would definitely throw them on a Z.

Black racing why all the trouble??? Arrow is great to work with. Other rims look at the new Racing Hart CP-F Tune R gunmetal 18 x 8.5 +26MM and 18 x 9.5 +26MM or the Prodrive GC-06D in british black 18 x 8.5 +32 and 18 X 9.5 +21 or 27MM here is a pic:

funny, NO MENTION OF PRICE?????

Why is it that he'll never hint at pricing? Those Prodrives are SICK and exactly what I'm looking for, yet I'll bet that they're close to, if not more than $600 per wheel.

Here's all of the Prodrive info anyone could want.

yeah i want them in silver for my CS.

what tire sizes can we fit on a 9" wide rim though. would the 265's rear be safe? i know the 245's will fit.

Throbber

here is a good reference of tire widths to rim widths.
To quickly answer your question, you can safely run a 275 on a 9" rim.

UPDATE!

Black Racing N1 Pro 18x8F and 18x9R +30 offset... $860 shipped!

Gewalt Evo III 18x8F&R +30 offset, 18 lbs... $1280 shipped. Comes in Silver, Black and Diamond cut which is polished with clearcoat. Very interesting! Polished without the weight of chrome.

Both wheels have to be ordered and include a 45-60 day wait. Prices available by mentioning Importhookup.com (the site where you'll find these wheels.)

hmm, i can get them from wheelmax for 1600 with tires (toyo t1's) shipped. last time i called they had them instock.

droideka

Probably because Wheelmax is a bait & switch operation and would send you the wrong size. There's been a few horror stories here as well as with the Florida BBB.

Get THESE!

Get 'em in black!

ever think about powdercoating the stock 18s?

2k3silver350z

i've order 4 sets of wheels/tires with them from the same guy and never once had them bait/switch me. i've also heard complaints about the people who importhookup deal with. wheeloptions for one and also for tirerack. still wouldn't stop me from ordering from them.

droideka

You sir, are mean bastard!

I already know those all too well. Wheel Options tells me today I can get a set of 18x8.5/18x9.5 Work Meister SR2s for $1600 shipped. Damn those fine wheels, damn them!
