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.

Those are GT30's. We have a set in that same exact color for the 350Z in stock. PM me if you're interested.

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.
