Default Rims

corrently i got a 2005 350z with 17in rims. i wanna change the rims to either 18 or 19. the reason i want to change my rims is to have wider tires. i want to do 265 in the back and 235 in the front. i have a grey car what rims do you guys recommend. for the rims i am looking for something that looks sporty and just plain out sikkk! since my car is gray the finish should be like satin def not black.

I understand you might have a busy life and everything but if you look a few threads up in the sticky are you will see a thread full of aftermarket wheels.

They're available in 19's as well but considered special order. The 20's we have in stock is actually going to be cheaper than special order a new 19 inch set at the new price structure.

245 front and 275 rear is more "common" and easily fits.

Understood, and to each their own, however, I suggest you meet up with some local Z-ers and go out for a ride on a good set of tires.

Well good luck with that. Rota is probably your only option then.
