Exclamation New Z owner seeking advice

Hello everyone, i just recently purchased my 2004 performance coupe (silverstone) 350z and i am seeking advice. As of now the car is entirely stock and i figured it would be a good idea to begin by adding some nice wheels. This is my game plan, i was hoping to buy some wheels and tires for around 2,000 and thn sell my stock rims afterwards and with that money purchase a invidia n1 exhaust system, good idea? also, what wheels could i get for around 1,000-1,500 assuming the other money would be placed towards tires? I appreciate your help.

Figure $800 for tires leaves you with $1,200 for wheels. Figure out what size you need. Go shopping. Buy what you like.

I will have my 18x9 SSR Comps for sale very soon and they are within your budget. They go quite nicely with the silverstone. I have Bridgestone RE01R tires I could put on them, or they could be sold without. PM me for details, I plan to put them up for the masses next week with full photos, etc.

you need 35 series from and rear. Also a 275/35 rear would also work fine.
