Default black z needs opinion on black or gunmetal rims

what do you guys think is the best looking rims on a black z? my limit i am planning to spend is 700. i was thinking about ADR battles but my friends said ADRS Suck and they are not worthy oh being on my Z. they also said that those ADR rims wont fit entirely since they are all equal size. does the width really matter? how much does it effect proformence?

I was looking into getting p45r or p45r rotas also what is the difference?

also post some pics or types of rims under 700 that are black and that have a star design ere

thanks for the suggestions and advice

rotas are AWSOME. You can get any color u want, just call. They have a bunch of options at subydude. They're great wheels for the price..and they're light weight. Opt for 9.5 +25 all around and u get anice concave look

hmm 700...yea i agree with lazeeass. save your money and get some quality rims. you figure you already spent that much for the Z. I think it deserves more than $700 shoes.

I own a set of Volks and a set of Rotas and they are both awesome rims. The Volks cost a bunch but hey they are light and look great. The Rotas didn't cost alot, they are pretty light, and they look great. So for the price you can't go wrong with Rotas. It's funny that one of my Volks has a bend on the lip where the Rotas are in perfect shape after the same abuse.

Oh and Rota is coming out with an Emotion look alike in 350z fitment

Sigh, told jah so bobby!

I don't mean to be a hater on my soapbox, but I wish maybe they could try to make some original designs versus just making cheaper knockoffs of what is already out there.

I have volk le28n's in gunmetal on my SB Z. It looks really good. Though I think black rims may have looked even better than the gunmetal. Here are a couple pics. Forgive the lousy quality, they were taken with a cell phone.
