Default Wheel suggestion?

So, got my Z a few weeks back and when I get my tax returns in I want to change from the stock wheels on my Z. I found this posted and I love the style, but I'd like them in white.. Anyone know what brand/model they are, or have suggestions for other six-spoke white rims? I've been digging through Amazon, Carid and eBay but I can't find anything I like...

I did find these that I like; http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/emenu/da...30_MM8/big.jpg
but I'd prefer something like that first link.

You didn't look very hard. Volks TE-37. You won't be finding them for cheap though.

Mag Blue TE37s would be fantastic, however, they do cost a pretty penny.

Bronze TE37s also look good on just about any color.

Look into Work wheels. Such as the Work VS-XX or Work Meister's. Forgestar and HRE or DPE are great wheel brands alike but will cost a nice dollar.

Start with your budget.
No sense lookin if you can't buy.
What kind of driving do you do?
You may be satisfied with a replica if you
are on a limited budget.Are your stock wheels 17/18's?
Plan on going to say a 19"?
Total package for some good stuff may be easily over 5 grand.

Had a set of Forgestar

Looked great, and were very light, and relatively inexpensive.

But when I got them mounted the guys at Discount Tire seemed to have a hard time balancing them, and they never ran very smooth.

I wouldn't get them again, personally.

On other forums lots of hit or miss experiences.


HRE or DPE are a different class of wheel, pricewise (and I think quality wise)

This.

Forgeline & CCW are excellent wheel companies as well.

FYI: My HRE wheels are hands down my favorite "mod" to my Z.

My wheel guy can get you a GREAT deal on a set of Forgeline. He also does HRE, DPE, 360 Forged, Cor Forged, Fikse, Forgeline, Forgestar, iForged and, Modulare to name a few.

I love my Avant Garde M368's

If you look at my profile here you can see pics of them on my car. They look so much better in person.

Well, first of all. What budget do you have for your new wheels set up? There's a lot of company makes the similar style wheels for your car. If you wants to get the similar style without breaking the bank. I do have something for you. It's the sportline Te.6 . Rotary forged wheels for excellent pricing!
