Blasphemy!!! I'm taking your car off my desktop wallpaper as we speak!!!!!!

If I had the extra cash I'd buy some to DD on.

There is also a set in the classified for 1k new in the box. And I hear they are about that much from this vendor.
They don't look that bad but still just another copy of an imitation. The real thing used is definitely the way I would go.

I wish someone had a photo of the Konigs...the offset isnt that bad..the wheel its self does not look like a bad design..they are roughly 20 pounds each...the offset isnt bad at +25 and it looks like the spokes are concave..I just wish I had a photo of them on a 350

I would never put Konigs on my Z. I would rather have Rotas or any knock off to be honest. Those wheels just dont have the offset that will look good on a Z. They will look tucked and cheap.

Have you looked at these OP?

https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-tire...10-5-15-a.html

Price at 950!!!!
https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-tire...rays-lugs.html

A little on the wild side, but a good price with nearly new tires.
https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-tire...10-5-15-a.html

Mint with almost new tires also.

I thought plus 25 was not a bad offset...the last set of volks you showed me have about the same offset

Depends on width as well.
18x8 +25mm offset is way different than 19x10.5 +25.

But yea, I think I would rock rotas over konigs.

Good advice from rob... Supporting Konig is truly pointless.

There are so many options at your pricepoint. You could theoretically
end up spending more on tires than wheels. good timing at least.

Trust me!!! I was not happy with 18x9.5 +20mm, the rear end looks sucked in like its too small, and 18s on the 350z just doesnt look good unless your slammed to the ground.

We just trying to give you advice tho lol, it is your money. Just dont want you to regret something later on.

^ Thats the right attitude, you will not regret it in the end. I bought my first set of volks used and then bought new ones when I had the extra cash. There are some great deals that pop up on here with tires. Just keep an eye out. What is your budget BTW?

Dont really have one..I can buy new Volks...the only reason I do not want expensive wheels on my 350, and i really dont want 19 inch wheels is because its just my daily driver and the road conditions arent that great in Kentucky. My Audi, which is the car I use for work has BBS CH wheels because I hardly drive it. Realistically I would not want to spend more then 1200 for just wheels because they will get curb rash and hit pot holes.Plus I have 225/35/18 n 255/35/18 tires sitting in my garage which is what I would want to throw on the wheels just to drive around on. And yes, I def. have an open mind and positive attitude when it comes to car forums. I asked the questions, so I accept all answers without grudges. Thank you once again Rob2

The 255/35 isn't even a good front tire for the Z, its an inch to short. 245/40 or 255/40 is the proper unless you really want to run 35's. Then its the 275/35 you would want up front.

I am sure that you can score a good deal on some 18" works.
