I have a 03 Chrome Silver Z with Blubat Black Vinyl Overlays on the front lip.
Now i have around 900 - 1200 to spend on wheels and tires (hopefully). I understand that i will not be ablt to afford volks or anything really nice.
Make some suggestions with pics cause i need others input to help me decide.
Thanks

Seems like you are rushing it a bit to buy new wheels especially since you only have 1200 for wheels AND tires. Most decent wheels will alone cost that much without tires. If I was in your shoes, I'd just save up some more & buy the wheels you do like. That way you won't regret anything later on. I'd probably wait until my OEM tires wear out, then buy new wheels & tires. That's just me though.
You can try checking the private classifieds though. Sometimes you can find some good deals there.

Dude, you can afford to buy a Z, and you cant shell out for wheels? Are you seriously looking to spend 1200 on wheels AND tires? You might as well stay stock... Seriously, when I see other Z guys see you rolling on half assed wheels... It's like wearing clothes from Banana Republic, with basketball shoes bought from KMart.
Keep your money, and save for some better stuff. There are always deals in the classified section where the sponsors are always putting up incredible specials on some of the best wheels out there.

But seriously, just save the money to buy a better set. The best set for the $$ I think is the Nismo wheels. You can find a set on eBay for $1700 (18"), and $1900 for 19"s, brand new. Spend $550 for the tires (Falken FK-451).
Or like others said, look into Enkei's line (18").
But the best deal has to be the one not advertised. Head over to the classifieds and click the wheels section, check the specials, and call and bargain. That's what I did.
IT'S ONLY A Z? It's a Z!

You can get a set of Ruff racing wheels and tires for 1440 at VQ motoring in Miami. They sell on e-bay. I bought a set of 18" wheels 245/40X18 and 275/35x18. The tires were hankook.

The offsets are +20 front and rear. They are a perfect fit for the 350z. That price also includes shipping of $150. I really like the wheels and they look great on my z car.
