Talking Recommended Rims

Hey guys!
What rims do you have to recommend for me. Not looking to spend over 1000 for rims and tires if possible. I have just stock 17's on it right now. I am looking into getting some 17's. Whatever I get I want them to look nice, but not have to close of space between spokes. I want to be able to clean them up for car shows nicely. What do ya'll recommend.

19's for show, dont waste money on 17's unless they are track wheels.

Save more money if you want options that will LOOK good on the Z....IMO youll want around $2100...that will give you more then enough options.

Pretty tough in that price range, bump it up to at least $1,500 to or $1,800 and you could find something.

Enkei wheels or used Rotas are within that budget range.

19's look the best on the Z. 20's looks nice with a body kit but i'd still stick with 19's especially for ride quality as well. 17 look quite small on the car too....but if you want 17's anyway try to find some large ones with a low offset. I currently have 17 inch Enkei CDR9 wheels on it that came with the car when i bought it and the wheels are within the fender so it looks kind of ugly. You can get nice deals for 18's though if you don't wanna go too big, would be a nice alternative and you have alot of models available for the Z.

Look out for the volk fanboys!!! 5 g rims on my 15g ride. Granted they are SWEET, but common get real. If you have anything short of a built car with volks you are a moron. Love the Z but people act REAL special around here about their nissan

You only say that because you can't afford to have them. Don't hate the player, hate the game. Mmm, I love my 5G rims, Volk LE37 FTW!

The only reason I say 17's is becuase I was given a set of 17" Tires. Thanks for the replies guys!

Look for some enkei Rpf's in the market place. I guess if you want some 'bling' they do make the Rpf's with a polished face. GL.

17's and show car should not even be in the same sentence. I hope to god you don't buy wheels for your z on that budget.

Look out for the cheap, underage f@ggots, they'll try to act like Rays wheels are gay since they can't afford them.

Dont blow your wad buddy I dont think anybody has ever said they are gay Seems to be a recurring you cant afford them theme. Im not knocking any of the wheels in fact once Im out of school I will probably have a set on my garage queen. Just saying If you actually use your 15g car to drive everyday I think you can pull off a very nice look for half the cost and not swerve all around the road trying to not mess up your dope wheels

If you're on a budget, I advise frequently checking the wheels and tires section of the forums here and on driver. I highly suggest Enkeis because they're in that price range used, but that's just my personal preference.
