Need some help from some wheel Guru's
 
One of my old wheels got bent a little bit, and so now I'm getting a new set. Wondering if anyone could help me find what I'm looking for.

I want the style of the wheel to look like this:

http://d5otzd52uv6zz.cloudfront.net/...0a776b-350.jpg

I want the color setup to be either gunmetal or gloss black center, with a chrome/titanium/machined lip.

I would like to have it staggered, with a bigger lip on the rear, but it's not too important.

It needs to fit the tire sizes of 265/35/18 on the rear and 255/35/18 on the front.

I'm looking in the price range of $170 per wheel.

DO THESE EXIST!? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Yes they exist but nowhere near $170 per rim. You're not going to have many options with that budget. And with those tire sizes you're better off going 9.5" all around, not staggered

I guess he could join the *265/35/18 on 10.5 club* for the rears.

Meets all his requirements even though I wouldn't run a 35 sidewall unless my car was slammed but I'm guessing he's reusing tires he already has.

265/35/18: Actual speed 100.0 MPH. Speedometer will read 105.45 MPH. Do you have any idea what you are doing?

It's lowered, but nothing ridiculous.

And you're godlike, sir. Thanks! Those are perfect.

Found a deal for that size of tire, and I don't track the car. Looks good. And no, I really don't have much of an idea of what I'm doing, but I try lol.

I gave them a call, and they told me with those offsets, I would have to modify the fenders. The offsets that they said would fit the stock fenders were out of stock for a month :(

OP. This one of the cheapest routes for rims on a Z.
Then there's XXR. :suicide:

I had 255/40 and 265/40 on my similar offset RPF1s and had no problems lowered on S-Techs. What suspension do you have?

I don't think you'll have to modify em with those offsets unless slammed. At most, maybe a fender roll, which can be done by anyone with a fender roller.
The rears should be OK for sure.

Yes, yes I have lol.

$170/wheel is pretty pretty cheap... Not sure how much selection you'll have that meet all your criteria. Best of luck though!

Can I get some advice on these?

I know that they don't quite fit what I was explaining, but I love the big lip. Wondering if there's any red flags about this set.

AdvanZ33 Feb 18, 2012 05:52 AM

The big lip in that ad is from a wider wheel. Lip size on the 18x9 wheel is only 2.75". Flip through here if you are interested in XXRs:

You think I'd have to roll the fenders with that setup?
