Txstyle....Since your connection should know and you've already ordered your wheels.
What offset did you order with your 19's, front and rear? Size of tires...etc. Everybody loves that white Z with the 19's on it but I've been trying to figure out the tire size 40' 35' 30 ...and offset

Well I've Finally made my choice and will be ordering tomorrow. I've decided on the Miglia Evo 5...19's. These will look very nice on my CS..Enthusiast. This will be my set-up:
19x8.5 245/35-offset 30
19x9.5 275/35-offset 38 or 35
I wanted to stay away from 35 series tires but I don't think I'll have much of a choice. I won't be droppin my Z so it's important that I fill the wheelwell as much as possible. Thanks for all your help guys.

Hey guys,
I was keeping this quiet but I applied for a Nissan Project 350Z vehicle to fix up for the las vegas sema show. But looks like StrictlyZ got beat out by the big fishes out there.
Anyways back on the topic my selection for rim were from the yokohama advan line up. I was going to use the consieuurs (spelling) or the avs model T6. I will still be getting a 350Z very soon just a little delayed.
Part of the reason Im currently in Japan is for z32 and 350Z and G35 parts. I am working a deal to import AVS, VOLK etc.. rims from Japan. So if you guys need any rim shoot me a e-mail for now till zdrivercom@aol.com or when I arrive back into the states Yuichi@StrictlyZ.com
We actually just got a set of AVS model 5 18" and they are pretty light and a nice quality rim. The are for a Z32 and the offset is a little off. But we might just try putting them on a 350Z for kicks.

I would probably stick to 17's.
I think the rims are about 700-750 a pop...haven't checked it all out yet.
I got the idea on these bc I see them alot on BMW's and Vette's and really like the look.

I posted this on the wheel fitment thread but i'll put it up here as well.
I am leaning toward this rim: Fikse ARO
I like the look and style of it. Not sure if i would go up to 18's but i'll see how the Z runs and then decide.
Here's a pic..tell me what you think:

I actually saw these on a Corvette and did not get Bling at all out of them. Picture does not do them justice. They are not shiny chrome and have a real class look to them.
But hey...this is just my first look at wheels. Who knows in 6 months i might be going to 19's...NOT!!

Intro Forged wheels are sweet! I actually like them better than HRE, I was seriously thinking of going with HRE until I saw these. How long has this company been around and is the quality up to par with HRE?

Well 3rdpower, I personally think you won't go wrong with either 18 or 19. It's not so much the 1in. difference on the 19's that's bad, but the low as hell sidewall on the 19's! Typically 35 & 30 (as on my GS now). I think your above setup will be perfect: Looks & Handling. Tire sizes for that setup: 245/40/18 front & 275/35/18 rear. Plenty of excellent rubber choices in these sizes.
