Default ssr gt3 Vs. Exel dl-46 (new question)

Okay I know similar questions have been asked, so if this has been asked please direct me.


My question is: is there a huge difference between the ssr gt3 and the Exel dl-46 (wheelmax.com) looks wise?

I talked to my rim dealer and he said that since the exel isn't a three piece rim it won't look right on the 350z, does that make sense? I mean will it really look that much different?
he also metioned that the exel was made for front wheel drive cars and that is another reason it won't look right?


Please don't turn this into a quality debate I know the ssr are a better quality forged wheel.


I love the look but I simply don't want to spend 3,000+ on a set of rims (especialy with the twin turbo {hopfully} coming out soon)


Any opinons hare helpfull so please reply THANKS

They're not available staggered. The offsets are all wrong too, they'd look really gay on a Z.

If you want cheap 19" staggered wheels, the only ones I know of are ADR M-Sport and Cypher.

I wouldn't get Exel wheels, your Z deserves better.

Exel doesn't even make the proper offset or widths to accomodate this vehicle.
