Default Black Racing? what do y'all think?

I find some of this rims for sale, and they do come in 18x8 and 18x9. They weight just about the same as the Track Rays wheels, except they look kind of plain? I was thinking about putting Silver on the Z, what do y'all think?

Yes, I saw those! But they are bronze and they are only 17', plus I could get 18 plus tires for around the same price.

*** But what I want to know is, what do y'all think of it on the 350z? ****

i'm getting a set but i need to figure up the offsets to get them lined up correctly and so far no one knows. SCC when they did their article used a 32offset with a 5mm spacer and they still didn't fill the wheel wells that great. i want it lined up perfectly with the fender.

somewhere around +22 to +30 should be okay.. if you want them to line up with the fenders, go with a lower number than +30

basicly it's either 30 or 18. i wonder how the 18 offset wheels would look the 30 is still to high and will move the wheels too far inward. scc was running 32 with a 5mm spacer making it around 28 and it still didn't fill them.

yeah, i don't know how that +18 and +20 offset would look like, but just don't make it look like a lowrider hee hee...

You know, you could go with the 18x9 all of the way around in the +30 offset. 18x9 and +30 will push the wheels out 13MM and still leave plenty of room for a drop. 18x9s can accomodate a 255/40/18 in the front and a 275/40/18 in the rear which are the EXACT (almost, .1" difference from stock front) same diameter as the stock Performance/Touring 18s at 26.1" in the front and 26.7" in the rear.

but i'm afraid of ordering the wrong offset and being stuck with funny looking wheels. i was only going to go with the smaller width wheels in the front to try to save on the unsprung weight as 255 will still fit on 8inch wheels. i might be calling wheel max next week then.
