Enkei, Konig, Linea Corse, Rota, Motegi, XXR....and alot more but i would stay away from XXR though...i heard stories about them getting curb rash easily. I had a civic before my Z and i had RTX (seems to be same wheel quality) 17 inch wheels on it and they got damaged easily. With 17's you'll keep a comfortable ride as well even with roads with a few bumps and cracks. I'm with drivessidewayz with this, Enkei would be a wise choice for the money.
Don't listen to all the people hating we're all here because we have the same passion and not because we have the same budget.

I know I know I know tooooo expensive for me. Word it how ya want. Everybody has a budget. If expensive rims are in your budget I am incredibly happy for ya. If your a snob to people who are driving the same car you own but cant afford high dollar wheels.....WHO CARES. How bout you go buy a new 370 and I will enjoy it 5 yrs from now when its not new and in my price range....who cares.
I understand you paid alot if you bought it new I came off a little harsh because I have been scouring these threads for a month trying to decide on wheels, and this happens on every thread I find about anything other than volks or equivalent. Just gets annoying. Sorry If I offended anybody just a little vent and now im done.

This excuse is the reason why the 350z will be the new 240, if it already hasn't hit that point already. All Volks aren't 5k either, you just have to do some research, know where to look, and you can find them for much cheaper. Just because the Z's retail value goes down doesn't mean i'll walk into Pep Boys and settle for the wheels they have on the wall.
If you are scouring all these threads, searching for ideas for new wheels, it must be hard for you to read, because the recommendations for cheap wheels are always the same, it isn't that difficult.

Look, I work part time at a race shop that builds 800+ hp engines every day. Primarily dirt track late models, a couple sprints and a lot of emods. I really dont care about how much of a toolbag you are and what you think I can afford. I get alot of flack for buying this little nissan for a dd to school(28 and finishing my engineering degree), and I come here and everybody is a snob. Sorry but your cars arent that fast at all, very fun to drive, but get real. If I didnt love driving the car so much i would really regret becoming a ricer

And if you have seen one "What cheap wheels should I buy?" thread, you have seen them all.
You just flipped the argument entirely.

well that changes everything, it almost restricts you even further and changes your budget. original post said 1000 for wheels and tires, but its 1000 for wheels? i suggest you find some you like and go from there. that advice was given to me from someone on the forum and thought id pass it on haha but just look around for wheels you like and keep an eye on the classifieds here

Definitely agree with you here Waizzz.
