Well I defiantly am buying the car, thanks for the input so far..
I know volk and work wheels are the most popular wheels for a Z... but it seems like everyone is so biased! I know that there are other wheels out there that are cheaper, and will look good on this car...

(for example, AXIS super penta.. they are really cheap, but not that good looking IMO... but something similar to what im looking for)

Im looking for mid-range quality wheels.. really, and Ive heard decent things about TSW being a good mid range wheel, although I know theyre not forged or really racing wheels at all... but I think these would look good (the ones with the black lip)
they are 20x10 rear, and can get 20mm offset... (and are only 30 lbs each)

or whats wrong with the varrstoen im really thinking I should get those??

You sound as if your mind is already pretty much made up. Personally I wouldnt get either of the wheels you are looking at. IMO "racing" wheels dont really go with that body kit, its more of a show kit and I think you'd want to run something with huge lips on it but still tasteful.

All I can say is dont rush into buying wheels or it may come out looking bad. Take your time before you commit to buying. Wheels can easily make or break a cars looks. Look at some used wheels too, you'd be suprised what you can sometimes stumble upon. It took me almost six months before I found a set of wheels I liked and they were used but in good condition.

The offset for the rears is off by about 40mm

Here you go, its exactly what you need https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-tire...uper-rare.html

These would work great with some small spacers https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-tire...e-borphes.html

Sorry but you have to get the car first. That is the rules.

damn, that's a nice rug to park the Z on haha.

Axis Mod 7 or Matrix have a black with polished lip wheel for the Z, but they are probably not made for wide body, so you'll need spacers. The wheels that are made for this kit is the Veilside Andrew Baccarat, but they are probably a lot more than $2500.

Dont buy that car that kit is sooo dated. Half the car is literally body kit. Even 11 inch wheels probably wont be flush plus did you consider how much extra its gonna cost to buy rubber every so often. plus the repaint cost for that massive kit

The OP is too stubborn, he's not listening to reason or experience.

^^very true, owning a car with this type of bodykit does not make you a part of F&F Tokyo Drift. Hahaha...you should probably learn what an offset is first before purchasing wheels anyway.

I'm surprised that no one said it doesn't need wheels because the car floats on a magic carpet?

LOL

not a fan of that kit

you do realized you need like 11-12 (offset -20 or lower) up front and probablu 12-13 (offset -20 or lower) to be flush

this is true, i was just giving him some real numbers to realize the stupidity of it all

stock z is already widebody, you can fit 11 up front and 12s in the rear with a stretch, theres no point really to go bigger than that with a ugly kit

I would try to find a used set of fat lipped wheels. A lot of people are into the "these wheels are WAY too big for my car, but I'm going to put them on anyway" trend, so more and more sets of giant wheels keep popping up.
Keep an eye on the classifieds and ebay, I'd say.

i think the wheels i suggested complete this car. they will likely sit past flush too.

the kit is what it is - one of the most recognizable (and awful) made.

The fact is, you won't find new wheels for $2500 that will look decent. The wheels you mentioned could look decent on a stockbody Z, but with those wide fenders, you need something SUPER WIDE and a VERY low offset. "Midrange" wheel companies don't make those. They churn out their best sellers for low prices, they do not and will not make you a custom wheel for that price.

Now if you find a deal on some used wheels, you might make that work... The ones in the ebay auction above are a potential candidate.

Edit: check with DPE, as I recall their custom wheel prices are reasonable.
