Default Last minute wheel ideas!

Hello all. First and foremost I'm not sure if threads like this are allowed. If not I will delete it. Here it goes...

I'm receiving my Z next month and have already started buying mods for it, including an exhaust, intakes, springs, and a AVIC-D3. I have a strict budget of $2200 for wheels alone after buying tires, and I found a set of wheels I like, Racing Hart RH S3 Pros. I realize these are styled after Advans but they fit my budget. Before i take the plunge and order these, especially since I found very few Z's with these wheels on, I wanted others imput on the situation, given my budget. I would love a set of Volks but in these sizes they are too pricey.

Please post any ideas! My requirements are: 19" staggard, in silver, and are $2200 or less for the set. Heres some pics of the S3 Pros:




Thanks for looking and for any help!

if ur Z is white...i suggest get wheels like in the pic with the white Z..

HOWEVER!!!!, since you say you would love some volks..

i suggest you just save up the extra $300-800 since you say you already have tires..

you can find in the 'marketplace' for wheels and find that vendors are selling volks for around 2500-3300

save up man ur not far off money wise for the volks

I would say don't buy stuff on the last minute, you will most likely regret.

Im actually torn between that and the all silver, since im going to tint my windows 20% and black out the taillights. I think the machined silver might go better.

last minute in deed. You can get some work emotion kai and paint them which would equal out to $2000 respectively. Other then waiting awhile and saving up more cash, your other option would be to buy some used volks.

But i would agree with ricky. Don't rush things. Wait and do some more research and see if you can get a great vendor buy cuz theres way better wheels for 2200 then those, and you don't even have the z yet. temptation is a b1tch .

I actually love those works, but they only come in 18" as far as I can tell. The reason I was purchasing these so soon was because they usually sell for alot more.

I also have a pet peeve for stock wheels. No offense to people rolling on stock wheels.
