Default Rim Question

What are some rims that provide a good balance of value, performance, and looks?

Volk, end of discussion. Please search next time you ask such a broad question

I would assume the wheels that we have on our cars.

Enkei and Rota would be my top two picks. Both are cast wheels which will save you money, both exceed JWL/VIA test standards so you know they are safe and will perform on the street/track, both companies have appealing designs for the 350Z.

We drive 350Z's man, these aren't 100K+ super cars. A wheel doesn't have to be forged to make it "worthy" to go on a 350Z. Had the OP asked "what wheels have the best performance" then your answer for Volk would be justified. He also asked about value in his post, which leads 99% of the people reading this post to think he is trying to stay on a budget.

Guess I'll go sell the Z now, since I didn't put Volks on my car.

Plenty of great wheels out there, they pretty much start in the $1200 range for a set. There are still a couple that are cheaper, but they are heavier (Rota).
