Default What Rims should I get

I am having trouble deciding what rims I want to get. I have looked at the wheels section but haven't seen anything I like besideds volk, but everyone has volks. Have you seen the Ro_Ja formula 2. I like those but They are black with machined lip. Don't know how that would look on a silverstone Z. Anyone have any thoughts about how that would look? Or any other 19's that would look good on a stock silverstone. Post pictures if you have them.

volks are so played out.

if i was buying (could afford) another set of wheels, i would get either ssr professors or work meister s1 - so that's what i'm recomending

i saw a g35c the other day that's the equivalent color to the Z's silverstone and it had OZ superleggera III with the face painted black and the lip left polished. It looked really nice and i now want those rims. Too bad they are redunkulously expensive.

The other rims i like are LE37t in gunmetal (getting played out though) or BBS RS-GT.

I wish they made the staggered 3 piece 19" 5Zigen 5ZR_Hyper silver (no rivets) in 20s!!!!!!!!!!! They only make the 5ZR_Copse (sp?) with rivets in 20s.....

I have been looking at 20" iForged Aero's (someone else has those wheels on this board) in silver...I like the simple 5-spoke staggered 3 piece look. I used to have 17" Racing Hart C5 knockoffs (Nippon V5's) on my 98 Corolla prior to the Z. I'm also liking the 20" Maya DTS in which both the iForged and Maya's have the damn'ed rivets!! Does anyone have any suggestions based on the above I have not already seen?? Also, are iForged wheels expensive!?!? The price for 20" Aero's say about $1175. Is the for the set or ::cringe:: each!?!? That's way too much money for wheels.

I do see the iForged Aero's under the RS Racing Series section without rivets but the face is black. Yuck, I'd like silver with a deep staggered polished lip. Chrome is not my style.....peace all

Same predicament as you... VividRacing

They make some awesome wheels but i fell off the Volk boat awhile ago. I've seen almost every variation of volks on Z's here in Socal.

I'm definitely going with a custom wheel via Iforge, DPE or *gasp* even HRE.

Centers are going to be gloss black and the outside lip polished. I think this will look beautiful and aggressive on the SS.

apparantly so...thanks for the laugh...i really needed it especially since i wanna cry

vivid...try and narrow it down to a style of wheel (mesh, 5spoke, 7 spoke, etc)

then you can chose between diff brands

Wheels are a very personal choice. It's like asking what kind of girl should I date. Luckily all you need for wheels is cash.

I leaning toward a 5 or 6 spoke design. I would rather not go with Volks though. They are great wheels but everyone here has them
