Default Looking for suggestions for wheels for my new 350Z

Im interested in black gloss wheels with a chrome lip for my 350Z. I'm open for any wheels that are black, but I prefer black with chrome lip. Anyone have any suggestions or seen a 350Z with these wheels that would look decent on my car? I figured the people here would know what would look good on a 350Z, I'm new to this vehicle coming from a Honda Civic. I appreciate any advice you all have.

i think you should probably stick to varrstoens.

paint the spokes and call it a day.

you're clearly not concerned about anything but appearances,
so those will work great.

in addition, you've accidentally posted one of the best threads i've
ever read. thank you for making my so-so friday a little more
awesome.

you're the man. enjoy your z. go tigers.

Uh, are you really just going to listen to what people on this thread tell you? Or decide for yourself.

There are thousands of different pictures in this Wheels & Tires subforum alone.

Based on your description I recommend Volk SF Challenge in gloss black or diamond black.

Depends the budget and size you want i suppose. It's easy to find 18's and 20's black with chrome lip but 19's are more rare wheels and are the perfect match for the Z. The varrs are nice for the money the vendor here will be happy to pain it whichever color you like, all at a very good price. If you're willing to go more expensive but still not wanting to kill you wallet, check out the wheels for sale in the private sellers section, could find a nice set of wheels, maybe not black but if it has a chrome lip...paint or powdercoat and voilà!

I think these Venaci Spirit wheels would look great on your Z!

I'm not much for the black look.But thats your preference.Like others posting,
budget,size are factors.Personally,on a size that "looks right" on the Z,19"
is best.Price,its got alot to do with the weight of the wheel.Some see the weight as a big factor.Are you gonna race this car?Don't think so.I like the mesh look.I have ACE STRADAS 8.5"front,9.5 rear.Running Sumitomo EVO tires.The whole set up cost me under$1,500 from Discount Tire--shipping included.Bolt on,torque&go.

Additionally,if chrome is done well it looks good.Cheap chrome..well,looks cheap.You may want to consider a machined lip(I have this).Its high gloss,
mirror finish and looks quality.I'm not aware if ACE makes the STRADA in BLACK.The wheel itself is reasonable in price.Would not cost much to have
a paint shop paint the "spokes".I'd be glad to send a pic of my Z/WHEELS.
Send me your e-mail.

Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it. My budget is in the 1600$ price range with 18 or 19" wheels.

these threads should only be put up if you have a minimum of $2.5k to spend. At least make it fun for us giving the suggestions

anway i suggest SF Challenges or GTS with proper offsets. GL
