Default the time has come for a set of wheels

Hey fellow members, for days and days I've been searching for the right wheel but I keep having drawbacks. I have a $2600 budget for WHEELS AND TIRES and was wondering if you guys could be of any help. I'm looking for my wheels to be 19x8.5f/9.5r with around a 20mm offset. I was wondering if you guys have any really nice wheels in mind that would fall into my price range along with tires. If possible please post pictures!

-thanks!

I'm a big fan of the work cr-kai, but also I like the advan t5's or RZ's. I'm not quite picky actually. If it looks good and follows under the price range, then I'm fine. Just dish out a lot of options

I have a set of Axis. For the money I am happy with them.

That sorta leaves the door wide open, and makes it awfully hard to make suggestions

I'd recommend looking through the members gallery, etc and see what really strikes you. If you need any pricing, let us know

I think it is fruitless to recommend wheels. Members do not spend their money on wheels that "I" like. That said consider this:

$800 for tires leaves you with $1,800 or $450 per wheel. That is right on the border of forged vs cast wheels.

even at the lower end of the forged spectrum, they are going to be considerably more than $450 per wheel, at least when purchased new

^^^ S5 FTW

I know those wheels had very reasonable pricing when I got a quote... and I love the look... they seem to be an original design and depending what color car you have I think they would go great.

I'm still thinking about picking these up.....

Again.... all people will give you is THEY"RE opinion.... You really need to decide on your own...

For that money I would look for used Enkeis, AME Works, Wed-Sports and Volks. New I would focus on Enkei, AME and Works like the XD9.

Not sure if you care about knock offs or not. But Im sure you can buy these(https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...eels-19-a.html) and tires for that price, probably even less. Or you could look in the classifieds for a used set of volks in good condition with tires.
