Hi all, I'm a complete noob to this site so forgive me for this question but what are the best wheel/tire vendors online? (beat brands, biggest selection, good pricing, etc)

I did do a 'search' and couldn't find a list of good online vendors for my shopping around needs. Again, forgive my ignorance if this has been posted or talked about - I simply couldn't find enough info.

Thanks in advance and I must say it's nice to finally be a 350z owner!

Shouldn't you be training the next group of rabbits? Or, Perhaps playing cat and mouse with a certain **** SS Major?

War of the Rats, a good book; "Enemy at the Gates", an OK adaptation to film.

Step 1: Research what brand / style of wheel you want to get for your Z.
Step 2: Decide your budget.
Step 3: Decide your offsets and what size tire you want to run.
Step 4: Look at this thread https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-tires-342/ and see if the wheels/tires/offsets you are looking for are listed. If they are not, ANY of the vendors here would jump to get you what you need.

 

Andy at Performance Nissan or Forged. You can't go wrong with either. I'm sure there are other good vendors.

 

Nice! Good to know there are people that know their history. FYI, I do realize the spelling of his name is a bit off. I really enjoyed the movie, haven't read the book (might take a look).

Thanks for the input! I've been looking at several pics of Z's on the 'internets' (W reference) but can't seem to find the brand name/model of the ones I really like.

 

go to the vendor wheel/tire for sale section of this site.

IMO, If you can't decide what style you like first, determine your budget and fitment first (Size, offset, width) -- not all styles are available with the same fitments -- remember that most styles are copied from Manufacturer to Manufacturer so "knowing your knockoffs" is an alternative.

 

shop for fitment (widths and offsets) over anything else.

almost none of the cheapo wheels offer enough fitments, or aggressive fitments to ever be a 'sick' set up on a Z. and spacers are a secondary thought.

 

Not sure there is a best. Often members get mislead but vendors. They pay their money, wheels are placed “on order,” and 6 months later they have jack and their money is gone.

Here are a couple of buying suggestions:

a. If wheels are not in stock and ready for shipping do not buy them.

b. Consider a half now - half later deal. Half when you order half when they are received. This gives the vendor incentive to get your wheels.

c. Include a “drop dead” date with your order. Like “If you cannot ship on or before date, cancel my order and return my money immediately.”

Good luck.

 

I would just stick to option 'A' unless it is a VERY reputable vendor that you have dealt with.

 

Thanks fellas. Though I haven't been looking for more than a couple hours...I'm leaning toward a style similar to the Tenzo DC-5 Version 2 (split 5-spoke) as for the setup I was thinking about going with F: 19x8.5 R: 19x10

Now I just need to find a reputable place with good prices. On the previous Civics I've owned I've always dealth with tirerack but they don't seem to carry alot of the popular wheels I've seen on a Z. hmmmm....

 

Thanks CTO, I'll definitely give you the opportunity to earn my business. Any others are welcome! Thanks again.
