I am looking for replacemnt wheels for my 350z AT Touring.
I don't want to change tires just yet. I am looking for something like a three peice wheels with exposed allen screws, 7 or more gunmetal spokes and a silver/machined lip. I don't know if such a thing exists for my specs, but thought I would ask the experts. I have seen BBS wheels that fit what I want, but I don't want to buy half of another Z either.

Check the Wheel Gallary at the top of the forum. All sorts of good examples!

Looks like you'll like some 18" VOlk Gunmetal GT-7's

Have a look at OZ Galileo III. Not cheap though. If you want lip, I would recommend going up to 19s. The 18s that have a deep dish/lip look tend to look more like 17s.

I am trying to stay with the 17" wheels. I think they will get me off the line a lot quicker.

I have an AT and I have outjumped two 6 speeds with 18" tires from stop lights. I agree that the traction with the bigger tires would be better, but it is easier to break the inertia with a smaller diameter tire or so I found with my 240SX.
