Angry Lately I have seen members...

buying wheels just because they like them. They do not conduct a poll nor do they post photos of the wheels and ask “Do you guys think these wheels would look good on a 350Z?"

This trend has got to stop immediately! Pretty soon we will see 350Zs with all kinds of different wheels. The result will be chaos, panic and disorder.

So next time I want to buy wheels I have to post a poll?I have to seek you guys approval on the rims I want to choose for [b]MY[b/] car?

Or are you talking about the guys that come here asking if some crappy rims would look good on their 350Z seeking for that approval?

This is not good. We should compose of a list of wheels and offset's that are proper, so that this trend will stop.

Ok… now looking at aftermarket wheels and not knowing what I should buy.

I think I understand your message… hope you don’t mind if I pm you with the hundred or so different wheels I’m considering but cannot decide upon.

Of course, your thread (and this/my response) is facetious and in fun, but I would like to take this opportunity to ask a question.

I have a Redline Z and think a two piece wheel (polished silver rim and gloss black spokes) would look best on this car. I am having a problem deciding between 18” and 19” wheels, and wonder what is the best offset if I go with 245/xx fronts and 275/xx rears (where xx=40 aspect ratio on 18” wheels and 35on 19” wheels). Of course a search and lots of research will provide some information that I may or may not understand or believe. I'm still a little confused about offset and spacers (and yes, I've looked at the wheel offset calculator you posted).

I appreciate your participation on the Forum.

--Spike

Take a look at this thread young pondskipper. Let it lead you.
https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-tires/254081-wheel-thread-index.html

If you want to know the norm on offsets, just look in the vendors wheels section in the marketplace.
