5zigen FN01r-C 18x9.5 +12et ...what do you think?
Discount tire direct has these puppies on sale for $207/ Wheel
not too shabby considering they are almost half off regular MSRP.
what do you guys think? would it look good on a daytona blue 350z?
rubber sizes 255or265/35/18 front
285/35/18 rear

If you like the wheel go for it. Tires 275 plus or minus 20 mm will be fine.
NOTE: This wheel may be tight on the front fender. Go with a 255 mm tire.

Silver wheels look great on DB cars
In fact, I just bought a set of silver Enkei RPF1s in those same specs to use on the track.
If you're going to use them on the street, then 255 or 265 will be fine. 275 or 285 would be for the track IMO.

+12et? Hmm... won't that run into fender issues? No +18 or +17?

10½" would rub but he should be good with 9½". There's a couple of threads in the Autox/Track forum on this setup.

Hi dave, I'm really either the 5zigens or the RPF1s in the staggered setup (oakos has a sale) and they have them in a limited edition gun metal finish.

I don't think you could go wrong with either. Both are popular for being lightweight and strong as well as inexpensive.

Horrible front offset IMO , you will need -2 to -2.5 front camber to get the 265's up front that you will need for the 285 rears.

Depends on your goals, but with that offset a 255/40 front will rub in the front.
