I've had my Z for about 10 months now. Just recently I've been able to get some extra cash to mess with the car.

I was about to get 19 inch HP Evos put in when I heard that I should be careful with what rims I put on the Z. Z owners had been reporting that their axels were bending due to the heavy rims.

If this is true or not, I dont know, but it is something one should look into when dealing with a problem that could cost alot of money.

If anyone could reply with the names of nice Rims that would not cause damage to the car, I would appreciate it alot. Thanks.

 

Check the wheel gallery. I have never heard of this problem. Axels bending? It almost makes no sense. Cheap wheels might bend, but your axels wont. Your axels are subjected to a rotational force, which cant cause bending, only torsional displacement, or basically they will twist until they break, but we dont have enough power + traction to do that. Unless you are running some serious FI or something.

 

ditto, don't see how axles could bend due to heavy weight of wheels.
