Wheel Suggestions for $1,000 budget?
$1700 shipped gets you my Volks with tires. There 19's and no spacers needed since there the proper offset.
I would never buy XXR, Rota, Varro, I would possibly consider Vossen's tho. There about $1500 a set.

I too was going to get 1200$ rep. wheels then realized its not worth it.
Save your hard earned cash and buy quality wheels that'll last, even if you have to wait another 3 months etc etc...
I'm keeping my stockers till I get the cash rounded up.
If you're gonna buy volk reps (or any rep. wheel), better have your flame suit on
I bought my Z with XXR 521's already installed. The set I owned were pretty tough. I've stumbled upon some nasty potholes that I thought for sure wrecked the wheels. They came out unscathed. Don't know how. Decided not to press my luck any longer and put the stock ones back on. Think they look better as well. Seen some pretty jacked up pics of broken cast aluminum wheels.. so I'm saving up for some Works. Cheaply made/ low quality wheels don't belong on a Z plain and simple. Budget minded, I'd rock 18 x 10.5 +15F, -5R RPF1's with 265/35 Square Nitto Ivo's (looks killer with a drop btw) ALL DAY before any replica wheel. Save ur $$$ holmes

You already have tires? What sizes are they? Maybe we could help out better if we knew what size wheels to suggest. I got lucky and bought my wheels for $550 shipped. I have xxr 521s 18x10+25. I use a 20mm spacer for the rear. I think my set up looks bad ***.

I would suggest staying away from the cheaper rims out there! Have you considered some "stock" options like the Rays (V1-V3) or even some Nismo LMGT4's? It seems you're insistent on not paying over 1K, but need assistance on some "nice" rims! Also look at the RPF1's or used in the marketplace.
Good Luck!

i was in a similar situation.. but i just saved and got what i wanted. Although i did find that the enkei raijin is pretty affordable. i think you can check with some vendors on here but they range in cost around 800-1000 based off of tirerack depending on finish and size of course.
check them out.

This. How the hell can we recommend wheels when you won't tell us what size tires you have? If you need so much help, how do know your tires are the right size to begin with?

OP not sure how you can be looking at two different size wheels if you only have one set of tires?
What are their sizes??
There have been some good suggestions, however, the OP needs to provide more info. For example, is the OP looking for wheels for "show" or "performance" purposes? In addition, what size tires does he plan to mount on the recommended wheels? Finally, is he planning to keep the car for a long time or for a short stint? All of these questions should be taken in consideration before recommending wheels that will work in his situation. Who knows, he might be trying to fix the car for a quick sale. Just my $.02.
