thoughts... well, there cheap..

 

what about looks?
what are your thoughts?

 

they look like MB EXE II wheels...

check discounttire.com

if they are ive seen them on a silver Z before...not bad. but the offset is like stock wheels....u would want spacers!

 

They are bargain wheels. If you like them, get them. You will probably spend another $500 for tires. Take a look at the Classified section and price match 18" wheels at $1000-$1200. If you keep your eyes open, you can find some good deals for that price range for a wheel and tire combo.

Good luck.

 

naw...already got new tires.
$500 bucks aint bad for a new look

 

those look like terrible, low quality PIAA knockoffs.

people will laugh at you behind your back and as you drive by them. the only people who will like them are morons that probably drive Cavaliers.

we do not drive cavaliers.

 

A bit harsh but probably true!

These wheels are not even staggered. If you just have to have a new look, by all means go ahead. They won't look right though. I say, save up and look for a good deal on some Work Kai or at least for something with proper offsets.

 

I don't care for the style and they "look" cheap but, it's your money. You should probably check the offsets before you buy. Hopefully they are at least +30 or lower. 18x8 so, hopefully +20 or so. For a few hundred more, you can do better. Don't be lured in by the price.

 

can anybody find any pics of a z with these rims?
or is that asking too much?
thanks.

 

by the way...whats staggered and whats offset?
im not really bright coming to wheels.
thanks

 

what is your budget, let us start there.

 

thats the budget. $500
i wasnt looking to get any new rims, but i just came across this ad, and just went hmm.

the ones i have are stock 05 350z,,,but they have so many scratches on them.

 

Here's a good explanation of offset with a diagram.

staggered means that the front wheels are usually narrower than the rears which is the case in most RWD cars like the Z.

For example my wheel specs are:
Front Wheels- 19x9.5 offset +22 Tires - 255/35/19
Rear Wheels - 19x10.5 offset +22 Tires - 285/35/19

The bad thing about running staggered wheels is that you can not rotate your tires.

 

I say buy lowering springs if you only have 500. that will make the stock wheels looke 10 times better. and I think the stockers look better than these ugly things anyway.

 

^I have always said this....keep stockers on! People tend to be quick about buying bargain wheels when the stockers are 100% better looking and way better constructed.

 

I could be wrong, but aren't those Stern Beast face III? You could look on ebay for pics o a Z, but the ones for the Z on ebay are staggered.

 

Heres a link to some good looking wheels for the same price!
