Yep, P45F. I know what some of you may be thinking. Why would you do that, those are not the optimal sizes. It should be P45R all around.

Despite this, i decided to just go ahead and try it. I dont think anyone else has done this. And I think it looks pretty good. I know many of you may not agree. Its P45F royal steel grey 18x8.5 all around +25.


















And much thanks to Dan at Wheeldude. He was very patient with all the questions i had and shipped out quick.

what are your opinions?

 

you were right, I don't like it.

 

Not my thing, wheels look out of place...

 

I think it looks pretty good man, 99.9% of the public will have no idea what you did there, looks clean. That rear size is still a half inch larger than stock, except track model, what tire setup did you go with? On tirerack and other sites, they sell 18x8.5" ASA wheels, or Kazera that look exactly like that all day long, so why not go with those rotas? And for under $700 I assume, not too shabby.

 

well if you guys feel that way its cool haha. I didnt expect many to like it

zcaveman, no it was $800. Im still running the stock sizes because theyre still pretty new. 5000 miles on them. Im gonna change up once theyre done

 

Ah, I assumed you jumped on that special he was having for $699, 8 hundred is still not bad at all, I think that'll look even better when you throw on a larger rear tire than the stock, good luck.

 

 

if you were gonna do that... you should have gotten some sportmax's.. at least those look the same with lots more lip

 

 

no concave or no lip, it's not for Z ( it's just my .02)

i think those wheel color is really good match with your Z.

Enjoy with ur new wheels

 

i didnt like the color. the gunmetal was too dark

 

 

Im not too sure about this combo. I like the P45R all around better.

 

my opinion is that it looks extremely cheap. I'm glad you are happy though.

 

There is a reason why no one else does it. It's good to try and be unique, but that narrow with that high of offset looks way goofy.

 

It looks pretty good IMO. The color matches your car really well. But the concaved look of the P45R pwns the P45F. Like someone else said you could have went with the Sportmax 962 for just about the same price but had a rear 3'' lip. As long as you're happy with it thats all that really matters in the end.

 

As you suspected, I def disagree with you. It looks terrible.

 

Sorry man, but I have to agree with this guy... just looks sort of halfassed/cheapo.

 

I think it looks fine.

350z forum and the real world are two diff place...the general public wont know there is something missing.

 

I agree, it's not like some chick you see on the street is gonna be like "OMG he has P45Fs on the rear, what was he thinking" or people behind you at the light saying "why are his rear rims only 8.5'' wide?" I'm quite sure the general viewpoint is gonna be that it looks good because it does. Only difference is that the rear isn't concaved and the people outside this forum wouldn't know it was supposed to be concaved on the rear.
