The first ones are Varrstoen 2.2.2's they are 19"s and they're probably a +12. I believe the biggest Battle's would go are 18 and +30 offsets... not sure on the widths. I think those are 19" Advan T7's b/c the one's pictured look a lot bigger than an a 17" or 18". If you like both those models you may want to check out WEDS TC105N. Varrs are garbage and the Battle's have been raced for a long time and are a solid wheel... The T7's are expensive but not really seen on Z33's often.

Dont get battles unless your a broke pee pee toucher. Ther'ye for gay pee pee toucher 240 guys anyways. Get a set of TE's (NOT REP's or you're a pee pee toucher)
18 or 19x9.5/10.5 +12.

ooh ok. the weds look clean but how much are they?? lol
and the Varrstoen 2.2.2's i've heard of them but i didnt know if theyre good quality you know?
i dont know much about 350z wheels since i originally started off with a honda and moved on to better things and out of the honda scene.

haha im no pee pee toucher thats for sure. and yeah ive see the battles on mostly 240's. and the TE's are gonna be a mission to find and costly. but where can i find them in 19x9.5/10.5 +12? even the 18's would be fine.

Just save and Be patient. I see te's for for 1500-2k shipped. Dont pay more IMO. and defniately dont buy new because the resale SUCKS on te's. Just watch zilvia and here. Best two forums for these types of wheels. Just do a search on Toby22 and his te37 setup, Prolly one of, if not THE cleanest te37 setups. But for sure save and watch. I'll check on a couple things I might be able to get you a set of NEW te's for pretty cheap. I got a gravy deal on my Ordens so I'll see if I can plug you in. How much you have on the ready, PM me.

I"m really not the person to ask... I have 4 sets of wheels so I'm naturally going to advise you save your money and get a good set of wheels. I don't like reps and I have a particular dislike to Varro's. TehkMob is 100% right... lurk in the wheel classifieds until a deal pops up(they happen very often).

ha thanks

just take it one step at a time. Get the wheels you really want regardless of price (of course find the best deal used or new). Then after you have your wheels get suspension (coilovers and rear camber arm). After that you've finished 90% of your cars exterior

as for buddyclub coilovers, i ran them as my first coilovers. Great and comfortable but doesnt go nearly as low as my current stance Gr+. Not sure if they still make buddyclubs for the Z, but stance go for cheaper and imo ride just as smooth at a lower ride height than the buddyclubs. GL

The first wheels on the Db z don't look like Varrstoen, looks like rota grids.

I recant my comment about them being Varrs... they're indeed Rota's. I was at least right about the Advans though?
