![Question](https://my350z.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hi everyone,
I have been around for a while and I have decided that my coupe needs a new set of wheels.
What I want to know is what do you guys think of these wheels for the Z? I really want some honest opions so I hope that you guys can help.

They are Dronell D09's.
I know that they would look good on a sedan but I am not sure on the Z. Perhaps if someone gets some time they could photoshop them on a Z for me. If I were to go with these I think that I would get a black interior with a chrome lip.
Thanks,
Zdster

Thanks for your response Mike/Vic.
Its not the bling bling look that I am necessarily going for. (I hope that I understand the term bling bling because it is not a common term in Australia, or in my group of friends anyway)
Hence I would go with the look interior and chrome lip. What I am more concerned with, is if because the wheels are so closed in, would they look good on the Z?

Thanks everyone for your replies.
I think that my judgment was a little clouded. It is just that these are expensive rims (or I consider that they are expensive) and I was able to get them at a really good price. EG new these rims cost roughly $6000 Aus ($3300 American) without tyres and I was going to get a set with a set of Continentals for about half price $3500 Aus ($1900 American).
(I hope that my currency exchange is correct - sorry if it isnt)
I have chosen rims before for my s15 and it was a much easier decision for me. I just think that the Z is harder to chose for.
Thanks again,
Zdster

No, sorry.
Like Vic said, look for other big flashy chrome rims (bling). Maybe this is more what you are looking for? A more "spokey" wheel would be better IMHO - the center panel is just too big.

Thanks again guys. I appreciate your input.
I think that I have decided that I am not going to get this rims. I dont think that they will look right for the Z.
That is cool I really just wanted your input anyway as I wasnt sure if they would look good.
Iris, I am not really into the big chrome look to begin with and that is why if I was going to get these rims they would mostly be black with just a chrome lip. The rims that I had on my s15 were not chrome, but you might say that they were flashy
(by the way if anyone is interested I am sure that I can find some photos of the car with rims, just say so and I will try to put them up)
The question can be answered with a yes and a no. They are for Mercs and Beamers but they are also for some Japanese manufacturers.
Thanks again,
Zdster
