All four without tires. Will they look sweat or cheap? I dont wanna spend money on crappy stuff. Will they stick out or does that depend on the tire. Im new to aftermarket wheels and dont know a darn thing about offsets and stuff like that. HELP!!

motegi is the type of wheel you'd see on a civic, not on a z.

but if you really like them, then go for it!

as for offsets, you can go anywhere from 20 to 30. anything in the teens may require rolling of the fenders

btw, the wheels shown on my z below are up for sale.
correct offsets and they are made by RAYS (who also make VOLK, the most popular brand for 350z owners) pm me if interested.

Nope. Make sure you find out what widths and offsets are available.

for 790.. they look better than stock 17's.. but the stock 18's blow them away.


I take that back.. i like the stock 17's better.
