Buying cheaper wheels for a cheaper car isn't that bad of an idea. Robert has HRE wheels on an 03 350z. How is selling that car for $30,000 going? Not everyone buys rims that cost half the price of their car.

Funny because I accepted an offer of $25k w/o my HRE's but the buyer's finances fell through.
I'm not going to get into the debate of knock-off wheels again.
Everyone know my stance on them already. They suck and hurt the market. Lastly, my pricing my Z at $30k is to keep it out of hands like yourself. I marketed is at $30k for the buyer I think will keep it in good shape and treat it right. Not someone living paycheck-to-paycheck and buys cheap parts.

Second; Don't have to win the lotto to afford HRE wheels. A lot of owners are not lotto winners. They are hard workers.
Third; I am not "rich." I just manage my money better than you do. IE: I don't "waste" my money on XXR wheels or knock-off parts.

You did waste your money. I am assuming you spent a lot more than $30,000 on your car. Oh well no need to argue. I have stock wheels by the way. Also you should just buy a Porsche or GTR or something if you want to avoid cheap wheels. I can buy a 2003 350z for like 8k. You are going to have teenagers with them.

But not everyone here bought their cars used or feel that their cars are worth any less than what they paid for it. Just because it is worth so much on paper or X market value, doesn't mean it's worth less to the owner. I paid premium for mine brand new and barely have any miles on the car. I own well over 10k, just on wheels alone (multiple sets) not including tires. It is worth it to me but wouldn't make sense to someone who isn't as passionate about cars.

Already people I'm almost out of rubber (Tires)
and I need Moar aggressive stance. Alright, I got 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear +12 offset all around. I currently have 245/275 I am thinking 265/30front and 295/30Rear. What are your thoughts on these sizes? Opinion and criticism is accepted.

I agree it wouldn't make sense for someone who paid 10k for their Z to buy expensive wheels. Everyone has a different budget.

I was just informed that my car was not supposed to be in the aggressive wheels and stretched tires thread so I will be more than happy to post my car in the aggressive wheels and fat tires thread!!!
