Default Help Me on a Wheel Choice

Guys/Gals,
I gave my Nismo wheels to my Fiance and I would liike to get a new set for my Z. I have 2 pics on of it on the Jack stands with the factory 18's and One when I had the Nismos on it. What would look good? I like the Work Wheels that RickDogg has on his car. But I wonder how they would look with the center section painted PPW? Feel free to post pics of your wheels no matter what color car. I like to do 18x10-11 rear 18X9.5-10.5 front

Ryan

I like PPW and gold wheels. Maybe the Advan RGII or (i'm kinda biased) RH R5's in gold or bronze.

Not a big deal I wash the car once twice a week when I am using it.

To be honest I do not like Gold wheels on the white cars, I just think back the 80's with the Lebaron with gold mesh wheels.

Gold and white is a classic combo and you can never go wrong but to each their own. If you are looking into spending $2500 on wheels, you may consider some Enkei or AME wheels. Theyre great wheels just in the price range youre looking for. I dont think youll be able to fit tires into that budget though.

Not to worried about the cost, I'd like to keep the wheels around 2500 tires will be around 1500 or so. I am going to stay 18more options when it comes to tires.

If youre going with 18's tires will be much cheaper than $1500, well depending on what kind of tire you get.

My last set of BFG KDW2 were around 800 900, they are on the Mrs's car now. I like the look of the SF Challenge And thinking about painting the center section PPW?? This is tough I can understand women and shoe shopping better now
