Default Raze R74's?? Price seems right.. opinions?

http://edgeracing.com/2004/Nissan/350Z/wheels/18/

Price seems very right, but I've never heard of them. I was looking at the R74's in bronze. The total comes out to be about 670 shipped. They look decent and in the color I want, but again, no one here has mentioned them. Anyone care to give opinions?

Fronts. 18x8.5 offset 25
Rears 18x9.5 offset 35



Thanks guys.

they look very nice. I think they'd be a nice upgrade from the factory wheels.

I don't know very much about which wheels are the best so I can't offer anything more than saying that they look cool.

Definitely a nice design. The rear offset is a little off but you could probably space them out. The widths are good. Good choice going with 18's, though. What do they weigh?

Not sure to be honest with ya. For most other rims at that website, they give the weight of the rims, but for these they don't. Which kinda sucks. Probably means they are heavy. =/

i would never put that on my z. they are a cheap, knock off brand with a universal offset. If you bought aftermarket wheels, just do it right and get the right offset with a better brand. The only time i would use spacers is on stock wheels.

When you are buying aftermaket, you get the choice of choosing and adding spacers cost at the end, you mind as well just get decent rims. My friend has the raze 5 spoke on his focus and it already bent up with a 45 sidewall size.

Well, I found out that 17s weigh in at about 22 lbs.. so what maybe another two pounds for 18s? Dunno.

Argh.. so freaking expensive to get decent rims in Bronze. If Subydude would ever answer his pm, maybe I'll go with the Rotas he's selling.

I figured it was the weekend and they were out of the office. So Im going to wait till monday (its monday here where Im at). Im wondering if they are going to have any specials on those rotas soon. I dunno, I hate being on such a strict budget for stuff. Im having to compromise quite a bit. But if I ever want to get the hell out of here, I gotta compromise otherwise I'll be stuck in A'stan forever.

these wheels are very nice and light weight, strong too. I had 18's in gunmetal on my 04 accord coupe they were lighter than the stock accord 17" wheels. I think you should get 9.5 all around and use spacers in the back.

Yup that offset sucks. I have 9.5 and 15 offset in the rear and want another .5 inch at least.

The search for the rims is over. Looks like Im going with some Bronze Work Emotion Kai's. Look just like the Rotas.

Turns out subydude is out of the staggered rotas and would have to special order them. Would probably take 2 months according to what he told me. Oh well, getting a good deal on the works.
