Carbon Silver is pretty close to Silverstone, later down the road I'm gonna get the Phantom Black Volk GT-Ss, idk if you've looked into those yet, basically a flat black version.




They also have ones with chrome lips too if you'd like.

 

Probably cost alot more $$ than the ROTA's though

 

Oh, my bad, thought you were gonna get the GT-Ss.

 

Just bumping for tire help

 

the staggered tire will definately make your car look a little more aggressive than a completely square setup...alot of people on here that run a square setup still run staggered tires.

I would personally do the staggered setup because a square tire will provide very neutral cornering capabillities

 

Would it have any effect on handling having staggered tires?

 

its helps with the understeer on RWD cars thats why your tires come stock staggered

 

Wow, all those questions and still went with Rotas? I feel so used.

OP, instead of making countless threads, how about doing some research on your own or picking up a recent issue of Super Street? You can spot some recent trends that others have already discussed with you and you apparently ignored.

Sounds like this is your first foray into the modding scene, so you should really form your own opinion instead of relying on others, it will save you time and money in the long run.

 

at least he's asking questions first instead of buying some cheap wheels with bad offsets and asking our opinions then getting flamed.

give him a break he's making an honest effort for his car not to look like some garbage Z.

 

Thanks! Will go with the staggered wheels
Err.. which advice did I ignore? I opened a thread to settle on a new pair of wheels, and I have, and what COUNTLESS threads?

 

Alright, agreed.

OP, I would pickup a magazine though.

GL with your modding.

 

Final choices, what you guys think?

Wheel:
18x9.5 Rota P45R - Hyper Black (5x114.3/E20/73)
Bolt Pattern: 5X114.3
Offset: +20
Hub Bore: 73

Tires:
18 inch Tire Upgrade Staggered 255/40/18, 275/40/18 TOYO T1R
Lug Options 20 pcs. 12 x 1.25 Wheeltek Splinedrive Lugs - Black

Look to achieve:

 

Nice I like them you should get them painted black.

 

I preferred the 6-spokes, but whatever floats your boat.

The Hyper blacks are actually darker than they appear in pics. They're more gunmetal I think.

 

If I go for the less expensive staggered tires would I notice much of a difference you guys think?
Just trying to shave off some $$ considering the US dollar plus $400 US shipping to Aust.

 

dont go too cheap then you will notice a difference but depends on the tire your
getting but either falken or yokohamas are good tires for the price...

 

Thats what I was thinking of, Falken FK452 $786

i was looking at these either in the silver or chrome.. any feedback on them with the black 350z.

 

seems like you already eliminated blue as an option but it still gets my vote.
i think these would look good on any color z
