Work VS-XX in gold really set the car off, when in any color.

Geez… these are very aggressive responses to a thread that simply asks for opinions on aftermarket wheels that look good on a Redline Z.

Welcome Charles,

I would look at the wheel threads and the car color threads here (as others have suggested) to get ideas for your purchase. Sponsors on my350z.com can also provide help.

Personally I like black spokes and a polished lip with the Redline Z. Of course that is totally subjective and very arguable.

For street use, you probably want either 18” or 19” diameter rims. You will see considerable debate here. 18” rims are lighter and provide a more comfortable ride, but many prefer the appearance of 19” rims.

I would go with at least F/8.5” and R/9.5” widths since that allows a lot more flexibility in tire selection and retains the staggered setup. F245/40 and R275/40 on 18” wheels (r F245/35 and R275/35 on 19” wheels) is a good and “safe” tire size (fits without requiring rolling your rear fenders). Wheel offsets of 22 to 25 look nice and will work.

After you decide what wheels and tires you want and get them mounted, please post a picture.

^^ Very nice… your photography, the car, and its wheels.

Black spokes (flat-black, hyper-black, or gloss black) with a polished rim look great on a Redline Z.

Your wheel and tire setup is one of the best I've seen on a Redline Z.

Did you get that curb rash repaired?
