For fun, I checked out their website. They appear to have one style available for the 350z, and it appears to be the same wheel (more or less) as the TSW Thruxton.

Godspeed Omega:


TSW Thruxton:


I would not purchase these. I would spend 90 days doing tons of research on new wheels, meanwhile saving $20 of my daily pay. By the time 90 days expires, you will have $1800 in the bank, at which point you can buy a decent set of wheels as dictated by your 90 days of research.

sry110 your right both rims were very similer and after looking around i found the TSWs were cheaper anyways, but not my question is they come in 18x8 and 18x9.5. i would get the 8's for the front of course and the 9.5 in the rear. but now what size tire do i need for both? not to much tread but not to little either. thanks

My un-professional opinion is to go with wider wheels. The stock wheels are already 8.5" wide or so. I would personally go with 9" wide front and 10" wide rears as a minimum. Then tire-wise you're probably looking at 245 width for the front, and 275 width for the rears.

these are not the wheels you want.

Even if you do want them.

Close your eyes, pray, and when you open your eyes, hopefully these wheels will be gone.

Harsh, yes.

Good advice, absolutely.

Plenty of cheap wheels that offer the proper fit that cost the same but look far better.

These however look horrific on our cars.

Hey look at the lip that isnt a real lip.
Meh.

My thoughts exactly. Godspeed is absolute trash. Not to be confused with Goodspeed.

That is strange that they only list one wheel on their website:

http://www.godspeedwheels.com/nissan-350Z-wheels.asp

Sizing is fine but I would bet the are ridiculously heavy.

I would rather take a set of Enkei's any day of the week
