those 17x10 enkei are pretty sweet. its not that the rims look small the the gigantic sidewall that makes the rims out of place on the car.

Ok even if you stick with 17" wheels youll have to get wheels with similiar diameter to OEM for the tires to fit, so its a dumb idea all around.

Fno1 by 5 Ziggen, they have 17x9 for the front and 17x10 for the rear. You can also get away with running 10's front and rear. They are great wheels and when you bump up to 18's or 19's you can turn them into great track wheels.

Here is a pic of my Z in late 2003 with 17"x9" Borbet wheels. I already had the wheels and tires so I put them on for awhile. I don't think it looks all that bad. I've had either 18 or 19 inch wheels since early 2004.

There's a reason that you won't find a 17" wheel thread - there's only one group of people that buy 17-incher and they aren't for show so there's really nothing to look at and no reason to post them. 17" wheels are popular among the motorsports (road, drag, drift) guys for the performance and cost advantage. Everbody who's Z came with 17's are trying to dump them asap for aftermarket wheels - I can't imagine anybody buying a set of 17's for looks. That would be like buying steelies.
