Recommend a set of affordable 19" for me?
i don't know when people started thinking modifying cars was a cheap hobby. if i'm going to drive a car around that i've put my time and money into, it's going to be built right with the best parts. if i can't afford the best, i'd rather have nothing at all. that's my logic.

But IMO I'd rather buy a knock off and be able to actually get it. Than to get nothing at all. Otherwise I wouldn't be here, otherwise I would have never touched my car.
I just don't think it makes much sense to have a bunch of mods that are worth more than the vehicle itself.

the 350z:
zankoku coilovers
spl rear camber arms
5x114.3 to 5x120 adapters/spacers
19x10 +24 bmw 7-series wheels
235/35 f and 245/35 r cheap-o tires
I don't understand the stretch tire/hellaflush crew for a number of reasons, but most notable is the knack for you guys to spend a months salary on a set of wheels, and find the cheapest tires available to put on them. If that weren't enough........you take said cheap-o-tires (which are generally garbage when run on correctly sized wheels) and destroy the limited sidewall integrity that was there in the first place.

anyway... i drift. in my situation, my "rules for building a car" allow non-sponsored drivers to use cheap tires/aero since they/it will just be destroyed in an event or two.
/internet preaching
i'm pretty sure drifting is now considered an auto SPORT, so....

Vids or ban.
Edit: I'm just screwing with you man. Not trying to troll you. All in fun, feel free to take a poke at me if you want. There's more than enough material.
I actually would like to see some vids if you have them. I like seeing people using these cars for what they are intended, rather than sitting and collecting dust like mine. Sigh, there's just nothing around here except drag strips.
Here's hoping we actually helped the op out.
If not OP feel free to say so.
