Default Battle of the low-budget rims.
I'm buying a set of cheap rims until I decide on expensive rims. They will be in 18" size so that the tires will fit on the 18" expensive rims. The options I have now are:

Sportmax 006 (Gunmetal)



Sportmax 502 (Hyper Silver)



Sportmax 962 (Gold or Gunmetal)





Motegi Touge (Gunmetal)

Of those pictured and without an idea of what your car looks like, I would say the Touges.

However, if 1nate7 hadn't posted it first, I also would have said the P45R's. Best looking budget wheel out there IMO.

Sportmax 502 and Motegi Touge would be my top 2 picks. If i had to pick just one it would be the Motegi Touge.

I still don't know car color, Touge looks best assuming you are in Wonder Womans' invisible car.

Sorry if it wasn't on your list. It's a 5 spoke similar to the SportMax 962 and Touge, but flows much better on a Z IMO. Proper width/offset, concave face, fairly light and available in almost any color.

ive got some axis hiros for sale. IMO theyre a step up from what your looking at there. 5 spoke, polished lip anthracite. Probably cost less then what your paying for those, mine come with tires as well.

PM for more info.

On your list, the sportmax 502 look sweet. Do they offer it in darker colors?

Those do look pretty sweet. I went with used Works, though.
