so basically, if i go with a slightly wider tire and space them. they will look better? im just not into the rims that are forged with the small crazy all over the place spokes because they dont do my huge brembo brakes any visual justice. also in the picture my alignment is BAD off and it sticks the top of the wheels farther into the fender well so they look like a bad offset or real narrow but its mainly my alignment. im going to get some better pictures in about an hour. i got the car aligned and then lets see what you guys have to say about spacers then. I also have in mind getting them powdercoated gloss black cause im not really into the chrome either.

Trust me dude, there a lot more wheels out there of much higher quality that can show off your "huge" brembos. Example.

The car will be aligned soon, i pulled the wheels off the mounting surface to where i want them to sit and im thinking 1" spacer in the rear and 3/8" spacer in the front. Once that is done i will post picture, but where is a good place to order spacers from? Also I'm thinking about having the wheels powercoated cause im not a big fan of chrome. so opinions on colors also better pictures below.

Don't waste any more money on those fugly azz wheels. Sell them and go buy something that's meant to fit the 350z.

I just googled them and saw that they are only 8.5 inches wide (assuming you have the 20's). That's not going to cut it man. Time to start from scratch.

what about these?

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/pts/1785156771.html

I'm in South Carolina and so its not a bad drive at all. Wheels arent something i wanted to spend a bunch of money on but now im starting to see that wheels are really what make the whole look of these cars. So me and my dad looked around and found those on craigslist. I will deffinately change the color cause Ive never seen the gold on a silverstone to know how it will look. opinions on those sets of wheels also if the person selling them is on here???? So lemme do what i shouldve done in the first place. Anyone have any experience with these wheels on a z or any pictures?

Those wheels don't look too bad but if you're spending that kind of money I would research and choose a set of rims that you really want. Are you dead set on 20's?

That, and trying to justify a crap paint job as not only intended, but calling it "custom jigsaw". I don't know how you can say things like that and not want to kill yourself.
