Default Looking for approval on wheels

I found these on discount tire, which is great because there is one like 5 minutes from me.

Anyways I entered the 2004 350z touring model and found these:

but I know sometimes the wheels aren't specifically made and may not fit.

Would these fit fine and how do ya like the looks?

1. Drag = Garbage
2. Lug Pattern is 5x100. 350Z Lug Pattern is 5x114.3. They aren't going to fit your car.

If you are pressed to buy from Discount Tire, use this link with the correct proportions to view your options;

Thanks for the help.

Yea I realize that most of the rims I'm looking at aren't the nicest, I just don't have the budget for Volks or something. I'm trying to keep it around or less than $800. Any thoughts on these Konigs???

Or if anyone can recommend any other rims from another place that fits my price range I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Look into Rota, they have proper Z sizes and offsets for around your price

if you're dead set on buying from that company check out the MB Weapons.. they're the same as the Atech Eraser.. I know a few people who have the 17's for track duty.. they're semilightweight

Check out wheeldude.com, look in the 350z wheel section, I'm sure you'll find something you like.

Here's an idea. If you can't afford decent wheels, leave them stock! It's ok to have stock wheels. Don't deface the Z by putting crappy wheels on it. I can't believe how many people say I can't afford Volks or Works so I'm just getting X Y Z. Come on now. That's lame.

Get some '06+ wheels, add spacers, call it a day. Much cheaper and nicer than that garbage.

everyones entiled to their opinion. Whats wrong with having a set budget? Not everyone wants to dish out 2k-3k+ on wheels. 35anniv. gets boring after awhile and the op wants to save some cash? I dont think they are bad, definitely not as nice, but they'll do

I know that the stock rims are quality, but I really just don't like the look of them. I love black rims on a silver Z, and I've heard painting them looks pretty trashy so I'll probably end up getting a cheaper rim of some sort. If anyone can find some black Rota SVN 18 that would fit, that would be awesome.

+1 Nothing is wrong with a budget. But, remember you get what you pay for. BTW - stock '06+ look great in black. OP check that out as an option.

Yeah, if you don't have 3000-5000 dollars, don't buy wheels.

Easiest thing to do is to check out the for sale section locally. You can find deals on quality wheels and not have to resort to garbage fake wheels. Most of the time you can score a great deal on wheels and tires. Go to some local Z meets around town and see if people are selling their wheels or see what they may look like on your car in person. Good luck in your search. We have a wealth of knowledge on this board when it comes to proper sizing and offsets.

Also, check out Enkei RPF1, they are a great alternative if you are on a budget.
