Default Help me decide what wheels to get

I have been debating if I should buy wheels or not but I think Im finally going to get me wheels. I would like everyone to help me decide on what wheels to get. I prefer volks that is compatible with the tpms. Should I get 18's or 19's? I have a PPW so I want gold or bronze. Post pictures if available thank you.

You know because you are a girl I'm sure people won't be getting in line to flame you for not searching. But fair is fair. Please search. What you are asking is plastered all over this site and can be found through the search. Maybe if you go through the site and find a few that you might want then do a poll or something.

Here is the PPW section of the picture share sub-forum......click through there for some great looking rides, and you'll get an idea of what kind of wheels you might like best.

I would say 19s and gold/chrome lip.Juan from Fuction Tuned has one of the nicest PPW Zs I've seen. He has gold/chrome lip wheels with a carbon/kevlar lip kit. It's nasty, I know pics are on the site somewhere.

I'd go with a nice set of 19's, with 10.5 rears and 9.5 fronts, low offset. Depending on how much you are willing to spend, some nice WORKS or Volks would look amazing on a PPW Z. Goodluck!

There are plenty of wheel photos in the wheel forum. Primarily you have two choices:

a. A light weight mono-forged wheel
b. A big and heavy cast wheel

Yeah, but anyone who can't do a simple search deserves what they get.

I know, that link is like diamond encrusted platinum when you want to see every kind of wheel that has ever been put on a PPW Z, or any color for that matter.

No one should have to do the searching for you. I know you're a girl, but that's not really an excuse. There are already tons of wheels threads as well as threads dedicated to specific car colors.

I found out (the hard way) by going through 4 sets of wheels in 6 weeks that no matter what you do, 18s will always looks small on a Z, especially 18s with a lip. If you MUST go 18s, don't get ones with a lip. My reccomendation is 19x9.5 front 19x10.5 rear forged rims - SSR and Ray's VOLK are nice lines to look into.

I'm not asking anyone to search anything for me. In reality if you dont know anything about what I asked (scroll down) dont reply to the thread. Like for instance if you have Volks that is compatible w/ tpms 18's or 19's then tell me about it because maybe that will help me. I'm not making an excuse cuz I'm a girl TRUST.
