Default AVID.1 AV.06 Wheels

I first want to say "Thank you!" to @travlee and @MicVelo for their answers to my questions and guidance.

Next, the details. I purchased AVID.1 AV.06 Matte Bronze wheels in the following sizes:
  • Front: 18"x9.5" +24 offset, wrapped in 255/40-18 rubber
  • Rear: 18"x10.5" +22 offset, wrapped in 275/40-18 rubber
If you care to know further, the wheels have a center bore of 73.1mm, so I purchased a set of 73.1mm OD to 66.1 ID polycarbonate hub centric rings.

Finally, the pics. I'm certainly not a professional, but I think the fitment is perfect. I'm also a big fan of the color, as I feel it provides a fantastic contrast to the OEM Chrome Silver paint. It may not be your cup of tea, but it suits me fine.

Looking good! I’ve never run bronze on my chrome silver car but it looks great!! Hmmmmm….. haha!

Just a niggly little point….. you said 67.1 hub rings. Nissan is 66.1. The 1mm difference is better than 7mm with 73.1 hub bores but eventually you might want to switch at some point down the road if that wasn’t a typo. 😆

Woops...complete typo on my part; I've corrected the information in my initial post. I even went and double-checked the packaging for the rings to be certain. Thank you for catching that.

When I first bought the car, I thought a dark grey or gunmetal wheel would be the safe way to go. However, I've always loved the look of bronze wheels on black/grey/silver cars. After contemplating it a bit, and a bit of googling, I figured I'd just make it happen. I think it has really paid off...I love the aesthetic.

Thanks again for the help.

Nice color choice! Only thing that isn't my cup of tea is it's essentially a TE37 rep. Outside of that the color and fitment are 10/10 IMO.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, is it not?

IMHO, I simply couldn't justify the expense of Volk TE37s and I'm not trying to fool anyone, as a quick glance at the wheels show "AVID1 AV06" stamped/cast into the wheels. Now if I was driving a GT-R, that would be a different story. Bottom line, inexpensive wheels for an inexpensive car.

Turns out I worried over a bunch of nothing. I received good advice from the get-go and everything turned out great.

Thanks for the compliment.

I wasn't implying that you were trying to fool anyone BTW. Just like most here I'm not a fan of rep wheels, I don't consider the Z an inexpensive car because it wasn't when it was new, but I get your point.
