Hey guys. i guess because of the time of night I may not get the quick response I'm looking for. But all are welcomed.

I have an opportunity to pick up some 20" rims with tires for my GT ZR tomorrow. This is my problem. I drove the car that they are currently on and found the tires make a lot of road noise. Not the biggest problem but not too cool to me. I also would be sacrificing the quailty of the ride I currently have with my rims.

There's more. He wants to trade my rims for his plus money. I not only loose ride quality, gain road noise, loose my TPMS and the 4 month old tires on the stock 18".

Now I do Gain some sick looking 20" rims with 245/front and 285/rear with a badass chrome lip. I know I can change the tires later to a better quality for a quiet ride. I just can't understand why it's not sitting well with me.

What do you think?

 

Can you swap the sending units in your wheels to the new wheels?

 

20" wheels sacrifice all ride comfort. Unless you stuff pillows in your tires, nothing will help.

 

what kind of rims?
i say dont do it ..... they are prob some heavy crappy 20'' rims?

 

NO MAN! I haven't kept up with the times so IDK what a GT ZR is (and am too lazy to look it up ) but unless its a type of SUV or Truck dont do it. Unless you want a lifted car or some really rash/bump succeptible rims.

 

grand touring Z roadster.... sarcasm?

 

... Wow

 

300+ posts and doesnt know what a zr is? or a GT? lol wow...

 

LOL

look at your sig.. it has GT in it... and Grand Touring

and you don't know what a GT ZR is?

 

i have 20's work vs-xx and love them. everyone that have seen my car in person love the way they look

 

THe more cryptic abbreviations you use the cooler you are.

 

That is all you need to know. You don't really want the rims, and he doesn't either (in fact he would prefer yours).

 

Thanks guys for having my back regarding the GT ZR thing. Maybe what I should have said was 350Z-GTR.
I do have limited space in my garage and don't need an extra set of wheels lying around. The rims are very close to exactly what I'm looking for when it comes to style. (No road rash what so ever). I would have to pay $500 out of pocket plus my wheels. Maybe less when I offer.
What do you think now....?

 

If its what you want go for it, but if your still uncertain or don't feel right about it, stick with what you got and get something else later

 

Sounds like you want the Dubs bro! If that's your route, go with it but offer less cash. Good luck!

 

Orrering less is part of the plan. It is a good deal but I just want to be in a great deal with all of the sacrifices..

 

no one here can tell you to do it or not without
1- seeing a pic of the wheels
2- exact details

i say dont do it.. if you go 20'' make sure they are quality light weight wheels and not heavy wheels that WILL SLOW your car down, and if this guy wants your stocks with 500 it makes me think they are not quality

 

It would definitely depend on what kind of wheels they are, they will either look like ****, or look good.

Hence chrome cheapos, or Works with low offset.

 

so what was the choice?

 

ahaha...yea I just put 2 and 2 together. I was thinking its some new gimmick Nissan had to move out these played out chassi.

350z is overweight as it is but a convertible GT, thats a heavy mother. I say might as well go all out on looks. Go for the 20's.

btw. . .18" fronts 19" back rays? Thats hardly the same as driving with +2, +1 size non staggered blingers.
