Volk is one of the most commonly agreed upon brands among us Z peeps. Volk wheels are made by Rays which is the company that produces the light weight wheels that come on track and Nismo Z's. Quality and light weight, with many attractive models to choose; you can't go wrong with Volk.

Look in the marketplace of my350z to get ideas. It's like being a kid at the candy store.

Welcome to the Z community!
Wheels for your car,whew!I'd first start with seeing what universe you
are in.
Whats your budget?
To be sure,there are some wheels that are the ultimate holy grail
to a Z owner.However,you may not have 5k to spend.
So,how much money do you have?
At the same time,I'm sure you have a idea of what design wheel you
like.Also,what finish or color.The color of your car may have a bearing
on the color/finish.Some sites like Tire Rack have a feature that show
different wheels on your car to get an idea of how the wheels will look.
There are trends to deal with.From what I've seen,theblack wheel is
still alive in popularity.I prefer more of a alloy look to match the brushed
silver onthe Z.Don't forget probably the most important part,fitment.
The O word---offsets,is critical in how you new wheels will look.Low end
wheels will not offer a offset variety.So,be careful.If you go this route,
spacers will be necessary to give a proper fitment.Look for offsets
in the "20's" as a general rule to start.
All the major tire vendors(Tire Rack,Discount Tire)offer a good selection
of wheels.Check their websites to view their wheels.

You are only allowed to get "rimmed up" if you have a "killer bangin sound system".
