looking real nice. I have been considering these on the Z. I am between Super Rozza's and these I think. The Super Rozzas are pricey and I would have to go 19's, I think. I would like to stick to 18's for ride quality. This might have just made up my mind and saved me a lot of money!!

No change in ride quality, but Toyo TS1s a bit more noise but not too bad..Think it rides better than the 17" stock and handles excessivly better. BTW you can buy from onlinetires.com gmpperformance.com and sponsor tires.com

I have been thinking hard about getting a set of thruxtons. I was figuring 19X8.5 w/20 mm offset and 19x9.5 w/35mm offset.
The question is, with 245/35/19 and 275/35/19, with this set up need to be lowered to look right?
Does anyone have a picture of this set up size on a Z that has not been lowered? Thanks.

it's been my observation that 350Zs doesn't look bad not lowered with 19inch wheels.
sure, it'd look better lowered, but i dont think it's as bad as.... say... a civic si with 18inch wheels w/o a drop.
i am planning on getting 19s (axis hiro or 5zigen 5zr copse no rivets) for my CS w/o lowering the car.

Ive been thinking hard about getting these rims for my G35 Coupe in 20"s. But I am illiterate when it comes to rims. Are these respectable rims? Are they good quality? Will they last? Are they worthy enough to put on a G35? Ive heard yes, and no and its driving me crazy. I have been offered $2150 for a set of 20"s 8.5 in the front 10 in the back with Nitto tires. Which brings me to my next question, are Nitto tires good or bad?
But yea, basically are these rims a good buy regardless of cheap price, or a quick fix?

I might get the twenties with tires mounted, balanced, warranty, tax and everything for $1900.
At that price, if they suck I can just upgrade wheels later to iForged or something.

Re: Thruxton by TSW. wide polished lip..Tough lookin
i have these in 19's on my car and they are awesome. there is one moderate problem in my opinion, and it is all subjective.
if you love a huge fat lip then these are for you, cause to get the offset to have the tires equal to the wheel well you should get 20 or so on front and rear. but this is going to give you one monster lip, almost to the point that all of the rim will be so far set in unless you are directly to the side of the car, you wont see much of the spokes and those bolt thingys.
to get, in my opinion, just the right amount of lip, staggered from front rim to rear, you should get something in the a 35 range, but then that sinks the tire in too far. i did this and put some spacers on temporary to bring it out just past where stock was, still not fully flush.
i have blizzacks on now on the old rims for winter. but for spring i am going to the bigger spacers to bring everything out flush but still have a modest lip.
overall great wheel for great price

Just got mine put on tonight, 20x8.5 and 20x10, along with some Falken tires, 245/35/20 275/35/20, and Hotchkis springs. They actually weigh a little less than stock. I love they way they look and I wouldn't rate the ride quality as unacceptable (I've had rougher riding cars for sure!).
I'll take some pics when I get it cleaned up this weekend. I had my doubts when I ordered these, but if you're on a budget, I don't think there is a hotter wheel for a 350z.
Of course ten minutes after I got my stuff put on some old man backed into my car in a parking lot, that's a different story I guess.
