Default Need opinion, paint my 05 touring (17") rims or upgrade to 06-08 (18") rims?

Hey, am kinda torn between keeping my stock 17" and having it panted gloss black w/ silver stripe or buy a set of 06 rims (18") with 50% tread left for $450, I'm kinda leaning towards getting the set and having it painted as well.

I saw a photo of an 18" PC'd gloss black with red stripe and wondering if it would look great on a black Z (http://www.350zmotoring.com/forums/w...ims-black.html)


Also saw a photo of a 17" painted black, not glossy though so I'm not sure what it'd look like if it were gloss with red stripe (http://www.350zmotoring.com/forums/w...tock-rims.html)

Will probably get a 1" lowering springs soon after.

What would you guys suggest?


(I attached the photos just in case it can't be viewed)

there is a thread on here dedicated to painted stock rims, just search it up. In my opinion, you should get the 06+ rims and just get them pc'd to gloss black with pin stripes, if thats what your going for.
