Don't make yourself get new rims. Shop around, see what you like, all the while saving money.
I wanted these rims called Linea Corse Dyna when I first got my Z. ALMOST pulled the trigger on em too.
Did some research-they are replica of Work Varianza.
I rock Varrstoens now, so I have nothing against rep wheels, but if I would have bought the Linea Corse rims and not known they were a knock off, I would have felt stupid.
Make educated decisions. Do research, find out what you REEEEALLLY like and don't settle.

Don't buy from Ebay as a usual rule to follow. Although I've read there is a lot more good stuff coming from there.
It's really not about brand unless you are looking for something specific. For example "looks" get whatever you think looks good. "tracking/autox/time attack" you want something light and strong
If you just want a quality wheel that looks good, check out any of the vendors on here under the marketplace tab. Or even other members selling.

fitment on those wheels are actually pretty decent. However the brand isnt a well known brand, and looks to be a knockoff ebay brand. Couple good brands off the top of my head are Volks, Works, SSR, BBS, etc. Just make sure fitment of the wheels are at least more aggressive than stock

ha..
i expected far worse before i clicked the link.. google for Ti wheels, find out the weight. if they arent tanks, buy em. There are far worse wheels to buy on ebay.
If you had a 1500 dollar budget youd have said so and would not be shopping for 600 dollar wheels. Hence.. buy em. Just try to make sure you arent over 50 lbs a corner including your tires. thats about what your stockers are. No big deal if they are heavy, but im a fan of lighter wheels on our cars.
Cant beat VarrsToen if youre in the market for decent cheaper wheels tho.. check em out.
