Hey guys, new here Looking at a silverstone coloured 2004 350z today and current plans to start off with are a) some nice wheels and b) carbon bonnet Question is if any of you have rim ideas for a silverstone Z? I'm thinking gunmetal or silver - but then again I could go with a carbon/charcoal colour scheme and get some black rims with a silver trim.

Few examples I've liked

 

sweet, congrats on your almost-Z-purchase...

I have a CS (chrome silver) Z and just bought some gold rota boost wheels for it...everyone sticks with what is "safe" sometimes out of the ordinary is better

 

Thanks mate I thought of gold but really not a fan for putting them on my own one - I think it'd go better with the silver Z than the charcoal/silverstone Z, I had however considered buying gold rims when I was about to look at a white 350z ..too bad it sold a day before I could get out to check it out though

White Z's are pretty rare down under! Most common is silver/blue (for sale anyway)

 

Be different, go with Mag blue....

 

I like the way a set of gloss black Volk LE wheels looks on silverstone. LE28 / LE37. Make sure you lower the car first.

 

BLUE .......pleasssssssssssss
i`m still in the mid of this ,,,agressiv black or M-silver ,,,,but i like the M-silver more

 

Can't say I'm a fan of the blue .. thinking I'll stay in the 'greyscale' area to be honest haha sorry guys
The silver is definitely starting to grow on me .. couple of other examples:

Enkei RP05


Konig Freefall


Konig K-Tune


Decisions, decisions

And guys bit of a noob question but hey, I'm learning
Since these usually come fitted with tires how do I choose the right tire? My 350z will be driven as more of a 'luxury' car for myself to be honest but I've always loved the design of them etc - not quite sure whether wheels count or if it comes down to suspension (eg; bumps in the road and what not)

Thanks for the help guys

 

^ yup, the wheels do matter. Obviously different brands of tires also affect ride quality.
Also, the larger the wheels (diameter), the less tire you put and usually the lesser the ride quality. Although some say this is barely noticeable.

For choosing the right tire sizes, it would depend on the wheel widths and diameter.
Though you can definitely run stretched or fat tires depending on your taste.

 

Thanks When it comes to driving I just want a smooth ride (as smooth as possible)
What would be the best option to tell them when they are fitting my tires?

(I'd also rather them flush with the car sides not sticking out etc)

Just want to know what to tell them I want instead of them trying to sell me the most expensive option lol

 

Drop Konigs, they are cheap garbage and the offsets are no good for the Z.

 

go with the enkeis out of those three

 

M-Silver, come on..................... Looks like any other wheels out there. What makes it stand out? Not a damn thing.....

 

I have an 05 Silverstone that originally came with 18" HyperBlack TSW Mondellos & Nitto. Personally, I think the Hyperblack (similar to Charcoal) does look good with Silverstone. However, I finally decided to go with 19" Rota P45R & Falkens (Hypersilver - I was going to go with Hyperblack - either one is good though). The tire/wheel combo fit real flush and the ride is actually better (I have Eibach springs too). I made my choice based on cost, offset available, style, color, and weight (lastly not too flashy as I have some real aholes that like to "f" with your ride).

Let me know if you have any questions...

 

no matter which wheel you decide on, go with low offsets. i think black and dark gray look best on silverstone.

 

Thanks for the feeedback guys, I think I'm gonna go with these:


Just every time I look at it makes me think 'wow thats nice' haha
MORE good news, I purchased my 2004 350z today!!

 

^^^ Just get them in gun metal ! They are offered in very low offset +17 +18 . Very nice and aggresive.

 

i have this pic as wallpaper ,,,excellent choice
and congrats on the Z, enjoy it

 

Any idea what rims they actually are? Would help me out alot haha

 

Looks like Volk GTS in 19s.

Get ready to sell your first born for em too.

 

Good choice!

One of the best rims for the Zed IMO!!!
