Question Suggestions: Best RIMS for Silvertone Z Finish

I need some advice. I would like to slap a set of 19"er's on my Silvertone Z and am looking for ideas. I would like a conservative rim with a nice thick lip. I am looking at the SSR GT3's, Hart CR's, Hart C4's, and Azis rims. Any thoughts and/or PICS would be great! Thanks guys.


I have already checked out the Wheel Page of this Forum but still decide.

Dude get the SSR GT3's in gumetal if its available or even flat black on just the spokes. I have SS also and I think that would look just sick.

Out of those wheels you've listed, I've actually seen the C4's in person and I wouldn't doubt that they'd look awesome on an SS.

The lips on those wheels are not only wide, they're from close and afar. A member by the name of JimRhit on these forums has em on a CS so maybe he can post a few pics here.

I've parked my SS next to his CS and can definitely imagine those wheels on.

Axis wheels are almost a world more affordable than the wheels you've just listed above. If you like them and don't wanna dish a whole lot of change then they're the way to go.

Regular silver wheels look stupid on SS. Go for Hyper black, it matches the paint pretty closely.

I get positive comments all the time re the gunmetal Volks on my Silverstone. The silver lip is just the right amount of bling.

It all depends on your tastes and the overall look you are going for.

I have bronze on my SS, and get tons of compliments - it fits with the overall theme and look of my car, though it's not for everyone

Dark Wheel < Light Wheel < Polish Lip + Light Wheel < Polish Lip + Dark Wheel


That's my preference for any color Z.

Thumbs up J's Z

Jason:

The black certainly look 'meaner' although the silver looks more classy and will never go out of style.

I always consider how I will feel about a wheel if I still have it 5 years later. Is it the hot thing or timeless?

I go for timeless.

i no longer have the ggames. (no time to update sig)
i now have rh j5s in the silver finish.
gunmetal looks great on ss. but after 2 sets of gunmetal rims, it was time for a change. and i'm seeing more and more cars with gunmetal wheels around here, so i'm back to silver rims (for now at least.)
