What are some rims that I can buy where I don't have to get rid of my stock tires. Im going to be buying a brand new 06 Daytona Blue Enth. and don't necessarily want to put the money into buying new tires also since they already come with big enough tires in my opinion. Also, can someone photoshop or happen to have any pics of the stock rims but painted black?? Thanks!!

 

wow guess this stumped everyone lol

 

We have a rule around here. No mods until after you get the car. Don't blame me. I don't make the rules.

 

that is ridiculous....god forbid I wanted to plan ahead :rollseyes:

 

The second rule is no rolling your eyes. Do you even know what size the wheels are that are coming on your car? If so, then those are the size rims you need to get.

 

well what do the offset numbers I keep seeing mean? I beleive the 06 enth. come with 18's stock

 

If you upgrade your wheels, upgrade your tires! The stock rubber sucks, that is why no one is responding.

 

Yeah, you would be better off burning the rubber in the fireplace for warmth than driving on them.

In any case, if you are dead set on keeping the tires even though 18 months from now you will need new ones and wished you had wider wheels, the stock 18s are 18x8 +30 and 18x8.5 +30 or +33. You could push out the offset though, fronts and backs with those sizes should be able to fit +20s and that will help with the sunken look they come with.

The stock 06 wheels are not to bad to look at and are already on the car, I vote you save your money and spend some time looking at what is available, quite a few people bought new wheels when they first got their Zs (or they came from the dealer with them) then later regretted it because the realized there were much better options out there.

Buy the right part the first time, even if it is more expensive, it will save you money in the long run.

i have no idea what offset means or any of those numbers really, thats why i seem so slow with all of this im sure. i think it is best to just keep the stock tires for however long they last me and then make a rim decesion later down the road. the car's loook great without rims. plus im going to be putting a lot down on this and i dont need to blow my whole load at once. why are wider wheels so much better? traction I assume?

 

Learning about wheel sizes and offsets is a good idea no matter what you drive. At some time, none of us knew what the hell offset is. Just google offset and find descriptions and diagrams. Study. The concept of offset baffles some because there is positive and negative offset. Check the diagrams and study the difference. Play with a offset calculator just for fun (car people are weird that way). Knowledge is power.

 

I think thats a good way to go. For most people stock tires last between 15k and 25k miles. In that time I am sure you will be here like the rest of us checking out other people wheel choices and by the time you are ready, you'll know what it's all about.

While your waiting, here is a thread with lots of pics of wheels people are running. https://my350z.com/forum/media-share/161354-show-me-your-wheels-pics.html
