not true.....i had 275 and 285 and they rode better than the stock 245's i had

 

just read the age of the op....

 

This kid has to be kidding.

 

Eh, I can't really comment as I know nothing about the integrity or quality of the product itself. I understand the image of the brand and is probably something I would sway away from but end-user's that are within the budgets of this type of brand should stay away from manufacturer's that directly knock-off the premium brands. My best recommendation for budget builder's are to look into FIVE:AD wheels. Its completely original and innovative, targeted for the price conscious consumer and you still see A-List vehicles and companies rocking the wheels.

 

Man, this is a tough crowd. I really think you guys should give a lot of these young kids a break. They're new to this community and with the negative comments that you guys give, its just going to deter them away from becoming more active on this site. Lately, a used 350Z has become very affordable and your average 16-18 year old kid is now in the realms of being able to afford this car. The problem is, the parts are still expensive. I feel as though that members that have been on this forum for many years have a civic responsibility to nurture these young kids so that they're properly building their cars. Remember, members that have seniority in this community have a strong influence over the young and impressionable minds that are new to this community and it is our influence and actions that will help reduce all the riced out 350Z's we see out there.

This is just my two cents and I know many members will feel differently when it comes to the new and younger crowd. Personally, as long as I'm active on this forum and in the community, I will help those that are willing to hear and value what I have to say whether you're 16 or 45.

 

i agree on you andy.

 

man give the kid a break not every 16 year old is spoiled off of dads money. you guys r just mad cus u were driving rice *** honda civics when you were 16. he picked out a decent set of rims,probably doesnt know what the cost of parts are for a z until now so i dont see nothing to flame him on

p.s. OP if u think your dom torreto from the fast and the furious in your z,then i retract my statement lol

 

OP,

The only thing you could do worse than asking about wheels costing less than $2500 a set on here? Admitting you're only 16 while doing so....

 

OP,

Seriously, check out the new 19" Rota P45. In your price range and they look great IMO.

 

Here's what I got for $1700 out the door w/ locks.

19x8-19 +20 1.75" lip
19x9.5-19 +20 3" lip

Tires - Falken 452 in 245/35-19 and 275/35-19

TSW Cadwells are in gunmetal grey w/ a machined face and lips. It's a new wheel they just came out with. I'm very happy with them. They ride much smoother than my stock bridgestones they replaced.

 

^^^Needs spacers and drop (but you probably already heard that). Otherwise, not bad.

 

thanks. Yea, a drop, but no spacers. The tires are flush with the fenders right now. The drop will probably have to wait till my mother-in-law moves out of her house. I scrap now on her driveway if I don't go up perfectly. The street isn't real safe cuz of errand cars.

 

Agreed on the drop no spacers. Darn mother-in-laws.

 

I'm gonna have to agree with Andy on this one. Give the kid a break. Just look around on the marketplace you can find some great deals on slightly used wheels. Five AD wheels are gorgeous wheels that look really nice on Z's for a decent price. If still not in the price range I suggest saving and getting a set of quality wheels because if you don't now you will end up buying new ones down the road anyway. But also saying that don't make me eat mine and Andy's words by goin out and totalling your Z. And if you do don't make a post about it

 

hey thanks a lot guys for sticking up for me. and fyi people that think im spoiled the z was my dream car besides the m3 lol. and i had worked for over a year to save up some money to convince my parents i ended up saving about 8k and i bought my car used for 16500 out the door. so i paid half. anyways thnks guys for all ur help and support and all the haters keep hating like always.

 

Just waiting for your "OMG JUST CRASHED MY Z I WAS GOING 20 MPH I SWEAR" thread

 

I applaud you for working so hard to help pay for the Z. It's a powerful car so be careful. I'm sure your parents would have a hard time forgiving themselves if something happened to you in the Z.

Btw, here's a picture of my 19" TSW Cadwells and Falken 452's (real nice riding) I got for under $1800 from HW Motorsports in Garden Grove.

Good luck with the Z and enjoy.
