Default what are some good black rims and also some sticky tires

I have a 2005 Nissan 350z 35th anniversary edition and I recently bought new tires and i'm also looking for new rims because i'm missing a hubcap on one of the rims. the new tires I have on the car are very slick when I drive on smoothed out roads and my TCS keeps going off and slows me down a lot if any of y'all have any recommendations I would love to hear them, thank you.

TCS? What size tires (to determine TCS triggering and appropriate wheel recommendations because unless you bought slick used tires, TCS should not trigger unless sizes were off.)

225 r50 17 for both front a rear i had to get new ones because i balled the ones the previous owner had on them but tbh they were better than what i have on now because even with the balledness they still stock to the ground in bad weather conditions and texas slick roads

TCS is most likely triggering due to square setup with the speed sensors telling the ECM that the rear end is stepping out. ECM is expecting the rear tires to be rotating 3% slower than fronts and interprets the same speed as the rears spinning faster.

Recommendation: Get the correct rear size tire. In the case of 17s, 235/50-17

Wheels depend in budget. $1000 for some cast copies or $5k for some nice forged wheels. In the middle, you can get some decent roll forged wheels like Enkei RPF1s or Konig Ampliforms.

I'm confused. On that other thread you created asking about 6 to 5 adapters, it was clearly lug pattern but here you're asking about adapters saying 6 SPOKE versus 5. Which is it?? Lugs or spokes??
