I tend to be pretty good about researching these things. I've been using the wheel offset calculator with every possible wheel - I'm just not trying to get the most expensive wheels out there or anything close to that - probably <$300 per wheel which keeps my options a bit more limited. I'm not planning on doing anything special on these wheels, just driving around town - I kept the stock 18"s for that reason - to have extra wheels for different tires.

Don't worry, I've been staring at wheels for days now. Just didn't think this was going to be next on my purchase list for the Z as I'd rather spend money on funner things.

300 bucks a wheel huh? There are plenty of options you can do (while still buying a quality wheel). Remember if you want your rims to sit somewhat flush you're going to need to find wheels with a width of at least 9.0 (I would 9.5 if I were you) and a offset of 22 or higher.

Here's a few to start you off.....

Enkei RPF1



the offset and color in this wheel would jump the cost, however you can find the same wheel with a decent +20 offset and a 9.5 width for 300 bucks.


19's if you're feeling lucky.......

Ray's G Games


These are 19's so the tire choices will set you back more, but you can't argue against how good it looks. You can also find these in 9.5 widths with a +20 offset.


Good luck

i agree with the majority. There are a lot of other wheels out there for your price range, but IMO none of the wheels in this thread would make it onto my car, but to each her own!

Yea, I haven't considered wheels in so long I'm probably way off when it comes to current trends. All I know for sure is I'm going black. Whether it be gloss, flat, polished lip - whatever. Just too many options.
