Default Need help finding rims...

Im looking to purchase some rims (preferrably 20" staggered), I need your guys help. I have a white Z and I really would like to get some sort of black with a polish lip style but Im open to all suggestions. I have a budget of 2 grand. Godspeed makes a really nice Omega wheel but they dont have them in stock anywhere but still advertise them

I have 19" gold wheels on mine and IMO looks awesome on a PPW. You could go for some used Volks with that budget or new Varrstoen wheels.

On a side note.......be prepared

OP.. i will give you this trinket ONLY because i think i may buy these for my Lexus GS300....and had this in front of me as you posted this.....
and they are pretty shiny and fancy for 2 g's.. are not all gangstad out, and i also dont want you to buy XXRs ha.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=160626717580

damn nice for 2100 bucks w tires id say. Falkens ( so so tires) 8.5 up front, 10 in back, very nice id say for your budget.


and i fear far nicer than what you are going to find on your own.


Vets.. proceed with his flogging.

i'll humbly suggest 19s
i would probably search around for some excellent-good condition, used, work meisters S1's - pretty common in black spoke with polished lip. not sure what the market is like and if they would go for 2k though but that is what i would start looking for.

used good brand wheel > new mediocre brand wheel
just my opinion (not knocking anything said b4)

bmccann, wasnt knocking what you said before at all cause its good advice as well.

on a different note - still loving your seats man. hope i can do my interior by end of year, still up in the air on the color though. color on yours is the wild card keeping me from deciding on just going black and gray.

anyways OP, good luck

no offense taken, btw id gladly sell you my seats if i could actually find a racing seat that wasnt black or red, and that i could actually fit into.. sucks.
Appears that isnt a reality for me.

Can't go wrong with some new Work CR-Kais.
Depending on my finances at the time, I may pick some up in place of Enkei RPF1s.

19's all the way.

Keep an eye out for the private classifieds.
There are almost always good deals on used rims with or with out tires.

To each their own, but... stay away from XXR's / Godspeed.
I'm not a brand *****, but I just get a sketchy *** feeling from them.

Varrstoen's reputation is growing. Fast.
I have them myself, love it. Decent pricing too.

Wheeldude.com has nice things as well.
Better selection on 18's though from that site.
