I've looked around and called around but so far EVERY place has said "we do not make 18" wheels for the 350Z" or "It wont fit right and look funny due to the offset" however everyplace has also said for $800 more they do have the 19" wheels in stock.... same goes for a lot of other wheel brands I've looked into... =`(
Anyone here want to upgrade to a 19" wheel and sell me their old 18" wheel? =) =) =)
sigh... I've spent too much time looking for wheeels I should have just spent the extra 800 bucks to start with for the 19s....
All I want is a nice wheel with a nice lip like the M sport or Axis Super Mesh/Hiros is that to much to ask for?
bah!
"/end rant"

Something to think about. ADR rims are cast and VERY cheap cast! My best friend owns a wheel shop and does dress up packages for dealers. He did two packages with ADR's they cracked! Yes the rim cracked in two! NO BS! To top it off they were dealer cars so the rim had lots of tire. I think it was a 50/18. Just thought I would give you a heads up. Sorry I cant hook you up. He wont sell em anymore.

Well ADR is not the only wheel I'm looking for. Pretty much any wheel with a nice Lip AZA makes one as with Axis
but once again everyplace says they do not have 18s for a 350Z or they wont look right...
It's like ok you have a 350Z? ok you can either buy our 19" wheel or buy a 18" volk other then that you're out of luck......
bah
I just cant see spending 2K+ on something that "looks" nice. That 2K could go into a Supercharger/turbo fund or even paying off my Z
18" Hiros would be nice but nope no one has them and when they do get them in I bet they wont fit the Z right

Contact Mark **** at mark@autobahnwheels.com - I ordered a set of 18" ADR M-Sports w/ tires from him. The ADRs sell fast, though.

I have seen a lot of people with those rims and I haven't seen any crack. I don't believe this is a common problem. On the other hand, there is a reason why they are so cheap...they are extremely heavy. The are wheels made for looks not performance. So if you are looking for the looks, they are a great deal.

Anyway the guy is offering the 18's plus a set of Faulken 245/40/18 for the front ad rear for $1500.
This is the best deal I found, Anyone know of a better one?
