Hi
I am new to this forum and I live in Canada. I am looking to get some new rims in the spring time. I have an 04 PPW 350z w/ performance package. I am currently running winter tires on my car. But I want a new set for the summer. I dont really want to lower my car because I dont want to be a snow plow for winter.

Any opinions or suggestions?? Please no chrome rims

Start here, this is the thread where other members show off their PPW Z's. Some have aftermarket rims so you can see what looks good to you.

There are a ton of resources here, all you have to do is use the search function.

Welcome. I am not sure where you can possibly find photos of 350Zs with aftermarket wheels. Good luck.

No matter what rim you buy, if you don't lower, monster truck gap will ensue.

first thing I would do is set a budget. Don't forget that new wheels may require new tires, as well as all that goes alone with install. Once you've determined your price you can get a feel for what brand fits your particular range. From this, pick out a particular model/style/colour you prefer.

In very general terms, members here range from size 18 to 20 inch wheels, with widths between 9.5-11. Offset is key as well. If you want to get to a flush point with the body you're going to want to look for something in the mid to low twenty range (ie. +20 to +25). However, you will find examples ranging both higher and lower then this. The drop is something you might have to bite the bullet on for the "right look."

Check out the sub-forum for further info on this topic. Good luck!

Even with after market 18 inch?

Thanks for all the help, I would love to lower my car but I don't it will be good for winter. So i shouldnt go with 19's if my car is not lowered?


Thanks guys

I would suggest not going with 19's if you're not lowered. There are very few rims, no matter what size, that look good on a non-lowered Z. I would maybe look into Rota 18" wheels - no lips, solid color - that's your best option for a non-lowered car. Once you start getting polished lips, the wheels look even smaller and the gap from the stock ride height looks bigger. Subydude sells them in the vendor section - here's one of his threads - https://my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=305241

Good luck - i'm sure you'll be able to find something you like.

If you get wheels, you need to lower it a lot.
Don't want to lower the car? Then stay stock.
Trust me.

a cheap alternative to lowering is regular springs...200-300 bucks for a full set and your car will look better then putting new wheels on an unlowered Z
