Sup guys. Im still running on the stock wheels and im starting to get tired of it. Im thinking about getting these wheels:







Yeah, theyre not all that fancy, but it looks good enough to me and the price range suits my wallet right now. Now the measurements for these are 17 x 8, offset 35mm 225/50-17 (front) and 235/50-17 (rear). Are these a little too small? These are smaller than stock i think but im not sure. would this would be a good fit and look for an 04' silverstone Z?

Also, im goin on stock Potenzas right now and i dont really feel like dying anytime soon, so whats the best bang for your buck tire out there today?

 

yaa kinda small.....and not really feelin the look of it at all 4 the Z.....but 2 each his own....good luck!!

 

small and ugly

 

scmtkings, what is your budget exactly? Tires and wheels combined.

 

well to be honest, no REAL budget limitations. Just depends on how long i work. I just wanted to keep the wheels $200 and under for each. And i dont want wheels with spokes that are too thin. for ex:







while some of you may like these expensive rims, i dont take a liking to it. Im just looking for something thats about 5-7 spokes, and looks similar to the 35th anniversary rims (in terms of size of each spoke). Can you guys point me to a certain brand?

 

Why not 35th Aniversary rims.... $200 each wheel is really really cheap.

so how much are 35th anniversary rims?

Where can i get them? I dont think shops sell these because these are specifically made for the Zs no?

 

Check the for sale forums. There are a couple for sale there. Usually $600-1200 a set.

 

Classified section on this site. Their is always a set someone is selling. Ussually not more than $800 for a set with tires. The Track wheels usually go for $1200 w tires.

I think what JET, other members, and I are saying is that you are probably better off finding something here with your budget than buying some 17" after market wheels that are probably not the best quality.

 

dude, definatly dont get more 17" wheels. At the very minimum upgrade to 18" wheels. I totally agree with what someone above said regarding buying the 35th wheels...HOTNESS!

 

don't get those rims, they're too small

 

For more than you ever wanted to know about OEM wheels and tires see: http://www.350zmotoring.com/modules....ex&name=Wheels.

 

^^wait wait, i thought tht 04' touring models came with stock 17" rims? How come that site says its 18"? I have an 04' touring and this entire time i thought it ws 17s???? If its really 18s, then im not getting 17s. Im not downgrading. Im either gonna uprgade or stay.

 

Those offsets and sizes are for Front wheel drive cars. Probably made for a civic or something.

 

You could have 17 (automatic transmission) or 18-inch (manual transmission) wheels. Just look on the tire.
