Default Cheap wheels???

I'd like to get a set of cheap (say $1000 or even less!) wheels for a Track model -- I'll use the stock rims for autoX and Hoosiers -- but want a good looking, but not pricey, set for street and winter (in New England) where wheels take a real beating.

That way, if they get scraped, salt corroded, and all the rest, I won't mind replacing them every couple of years and weight isn't so much of an issue on the street.

Ideally, I'd like some in gunmetal or in bronze.

Suggestions will be appreciated. Thanx in advance.

Check out N7DV's ADR m-sports in 19". They're a BBS CH style wheel with good lippage and they look great in Hyperblack. There's a guy selling them on ebay for just over a thou for a set of 4. I just bought a set for myself.

Sorry I wasn't so clear, 2003Z. I'm thinking it will be best if I keep 18s like the Track will come with. These are good looking suggestions. I'd never noticed them.

Have any of you seen a five- or six-spoke design for cheap? I love the TE-37s (like everyone else) but don't want to spend big money for salty roads.

Konig makes a simple 6 spoke design that is fairly cheap... You can get them in 18x8

I think they are called Verdict's

Now that's what I'm talking about! On a PPW that would be really nice (imo). Thanks again.

Rats, Konig doesn't make the Verdict except in silver or white currently.

5Zigen wheels won't fit the Track model, or so says the dealer. Nice wheel, too.

Serious GT-C copies. Copy wheels on a 350Z.
