Default New wheels for 07z

Planning to purchase some new wheels and saw these, which I like (first wheel on the left). Is that packaged deal a good deal for me? The store is local so I could just swing over there and put them on!

If you like heavy crap wheels with the wrong tire sizes, they are great. If you must really get them , make sure you get the proper size tires for the Z

I would talk to some of the vendors on this site and do some more research on the proper sizing for 350Z wheels. Don't jump on anything because its a "good deal".

ADR's with stern center caps? Where are u getting the picture and the "deal," are they the same place? Bc pics say stern and guy says ADR... Doesn't that make you wonder about other possible inconsistancies? Maybe the wheels you get won't look like the picture (since the picture seems to be the extent of your decision making process), maybe the sizes will be different. Please take the time to search and learn before you make stupid decisions.

I was told they would fit my car by a friend of mines and also the guy at the store when I called. Don't know much about tires that's why i'm here on this forum to find out if its a good deal for my car...this is my research . Also as the user above posted they are they same ADR and STERN are the same "crap".

The deals are posted here:

I'll try to do that. The "good deal" was just one of the reasons why I wanted to buy those not the only reason.

Personally, I would save a little more and go with a high quality wheel. I would not go bigger than a 19" wheel on the 350z. Try looking through the classifieds under wheels and go from there. There are some vendors that have great deals going on right now. Some brands to consider IMO would be: Work, Volk, Ro_ja, GramLights, Advan, Weds, Enkei...

20's are way to big for a Z. Go 18's if you want performance or 19's for more of a mix of looks and performance.

Dude, he was actually thinking about buying ADR's... I think works and volks are out of the question (aka price range). I think we have a future rota owner on our hands...

OP: If you're trying not to break the bank... Look at enkei, axis, g games
