Hey, long story short, Im getting new wheels and wondering what would be the best/cleanest look on the car. The car is on df-210's and has an amuse body kit on it. What would be the best in your opinion and will any of them have problems with the brake kit? Thanks.

and sorry forgot to mention: THE CAR IS TURBO'D . Thanks

Here is the pic of the car, its a very old picture and does not have the wheels, or decals ( stickers ) .. But it still does have the Body kit and brakes.

Design is my background.IMO,if your are seeking a "clean" look,the LM 19'S in the hyper-black would be the best choice(don't like the red center cap,though).The XXR looks cheap in comparison.Varrstoen...looks great but not a "clean" look.Will make your Z more "competition" looking.If you went the V route,I'd suggest a bronze or better yet,a gun metal finish.
Personally,I like the mesh type wheel on the Z.However,the spoke designs remain the most popular with owners.Do you have an issue with weight?The mesh type wheels(cheaper ones)tend to be heavier.On the finish,I like hyper-black(have it on my rims,ACE
STRADA 19'S-may want to check these out too...).However,the shade of hyper-black varies by manufacturer.My wheels are listed as hyper-black.But a very light shade.The centers do not look much different than the polished machined rims.But,I like e'm.Very resonable price and good quality too.

Never understood the trend of cheap wheels on a nice car.

Maxx87

No need to start for the 1000th time the rep vs authentic talk, money is hard to earn and everyone has their reasons. They got the chance to have like you say a nice car but want more than the stock look, at the same time to have mortgage or else. Whatever the reasons, let it be people.

OP to answer your question, i would go LM rep, the Varrstoen 1.1.2 are probably the best looking ones to my opinion. You have the body kit and the suspension, depending the use (touring, taking curves or simply urban driving) the size of tires will be your next question. The trend is go go stretch but if you like to take curves as much as possible with an agressive driving style, you should go with more meat. 275/35/19 or 285/35/19 for Rear and 245/35/19 or 255/35/19 for front are the way to go for touring purposes. Lower the numbers for urban driving (stretch)

Hope that helps

Yeah now i realize it isnt worth 3 times the price for a name brand. but maybe im dumb haha.

dont buy wheels if you can't afford them...go with the XXR.

Jamhour

iTrader: (2)

how's about work emotion 11r's?

you get a look without buying COMPLETE ****ING GARBAGE AND
STRAPPING IT TO YOUR CAR.

I dont understand. So you can afford good wheels, but you choose on purpose to buy inferior ones I don't get it. If your on a budget, stick to oem, they look nice(you can powder coat them), or buy replicas if that's your thing.

Congrats on buying James' old car. You probably got a sweet deal on it.

I call your "can afford" comment into question. You just bought a turboed 350z. Be sure to keep some money aside for maintenance and repairs. You probably saved thousands in buying used, save it.


with that said,
There are several used authentic wheel sets that are available at nice prices. Wouldn't hurt to make the investment.

I was in that same boat when looking to buy wheels.

In the end, do what makes you happy.

I was gonna buy some lm repals but....i never bought fake wheels for any of my cars....so why start now?

I think youll be happy spending the extra cash on a legit setup. Anyways....if u must stick with those reps I vote lm reps in hyper blck

Of the three that you posted I would go with the TE-37 replicas

I would suggest Enkei RPF1's over any of your choices though.

this is the most retarded and fully expected thread reply i have ever read in my life.

You bought big brakes,
AND a turbo kit,
and after all that money and time...

edit: no, sounds like its second hand FI fer you .. gd luck wit dat btw)

YOU DONT CARE ABOUT WEIGHT?
Hmm.
Heres the deal, (because youre not taking the comments very well so far ive noticed.....)

We dont really give a rats @ss if the wheels are cheap. If they were cheap and good, wed all buy them and everyone would buy XXRs now.... we're all adults w payments n bills too.. are we suddenly cool because we bought Volks or something? No.. becuase no one cares. Unless they are 16 years old.

Good wheels are respected because of the value and quality without compromise to accurate performance....its the sign of a good decision.
so what makes a wheel good them.. ever wonder? Its a name brand or a sticker? Really? Seriously? Thats what were all into? Hmm.. ..

Cheap equals cast and heavy ..which is EXACTLY what affects our cars in a GIANT and NOTICEABLE way..

no one cares about your money or status of buying wheels dude.. everyone is laughing at this thread because of the layers of fail that are occuring.
Your stock wheels will perform and feel far better than XXR tank heavy wheels. leave them alone and watch those in the know salute your decision...
\I dont care about the wheels, im simply posting this so you get why ppl are clowning on you.. and it sure aint because ppl are somehow inferring that yer broke my man..

edit: just read your middle posts..

re-DONK.
Drive off nearest bridge please.
Im going to bed in a bad mood now.. haha. This thread has ruined my faith in mankind.

+1 on having all these preformance parts on a SPORTS car and then strapping on battleship heavy wheels. I won't get into the real vs garbage topic but RPF1's would probably be your best bet.

OP what brakes are on the car?

You will need to factor in brake clearance in your choices as well.
