Need Help On deciding new wheels
Okay so i currently have a chrome silver z lowered on eibach sportline spings. I have 18" tsw snettertons but am looking to upgrade. Iv been searching for about a month and still cant seem to find somthing i want.
I know I want 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rear and the offsets for both frotn and rear have to be around 15. I wanted axis shines but i found a picture of them on a chrom silver z and it doesnt look as good as i thought it would. Then i wanted chikara ls1's or varrstoen's from the vendors on here but Im just not sure either come in the right color for me. My budget is $2,300 for rims and tires shipped.
Id like to find somthing black with a chrome lip like a set of works i saw had but not limited to that. The only sites I have found that sold wheel and tire combos were wheelsnext discounttire wheeldude. I dont want a cheap set of wheel but dont want volks either. ANy suggestions???

Where do I start.
1) Paragraphs are your friend
2) I would start in the marketplace for a good set of wheels in your price range.
3) Your TSW's are still worth around $500 depending on condition so sell those as well and use the remaining to increase your budget
4) Go to a meet and take a look at what people are rolling on and decide what fits your style

I tried making some papragraphs to make it easier to read. That budget includes me selling my tsw's. I avidly look through the classifieds but nothing has come up. More of looking to see if people know of any site that sell rim/tire pacages in my price range.
You might be onto somthing. Not sure how much the wheel/tire combo is going to run but i sent a PM for pricing. The 19's most aggressive offset is 22 for a 10 inch wide. For the fron they offer a 22 offset for the 9.5 and an 18 for the 9 inch front. Which size front would i want?? Are those offsets aggressive enough to sit flush ?

If you don't want Volks why were you looking at the TE37 knock-off? Anyhow, I'm hoping you have adjustable front/rear camber arms since you are on Sportlines because +15 on a 19x9.5/10.5 is pretty aggressive.

Yes I have spc rear cambar arms and a arms. I Dont want volks or rays just because of the price tag. I dont want some crappy rims but im not ready to fork up the cash for the volks. On a side note.. my camber arms will be able to get everything back in alignment fine with such an aggressive wheel right ?? Trying to get the most aggressive offset I can without problems. How about tire wear with low offset ??

Your budget definitely doesn't include the higher end wheels (Volk,Work, etc..) I say keep saving and buy a set of Volks that won't depreciate (for any reason you needed to sell the Volks, you could easily) and in the long run you'll love them way more than a set of axis, IMO.
Volks are nice and all but i dont feel like jumping on the volks or nothing bandwagon. There are plenty of wheels out there that are good quality that dont get any recognition. I dont need ubber light weight mad jdm wheels. Im not compltly bashing on htem because if I found a nice set within my budget that was exactly what i wanted Id get them. Any websites that sell wheel/tire combos for our cars ??
Im leaning twords the enkei pfr1. Just trying to figure out how aggressive of an offset i can go with to sit flush or slightly outside the body. I liek the works that are on that blue 350z. Im going to look into those. The xxr's look good but arent they like a cheapo brand? Not to mention that they dont come in 19's and have a weak offset. I dont want balla status but not trying to be to cheap. And as i said weight really isnt all that important to me. I dont want wheels made of lead but within reason
