The Deception with blue accent since the Illusion isn't made in the size I need. Husband might be losing his job due to company shutting down so I can't afford to do Weds for a long *** time now.

the Deceptions appear to come in 18x8 (ET20 and ET40) and 18x9 (ET35) looking at discounttire.com are those the only sizes available? those offsets aren't going to look right unless you're willing to work with spacers and lowering. ET20 will have poke, ET35 for rear at 9" width will look too conservative. honestly though, get spacers for your stock wheels and lower it if you want to get the most out of appearance with minimal funds. otherwise, just leave it stock and save up. |

yah, waiting does suck. i usually plan quite a bit ahead before taking the plunge... so it may appear like im buying stuff here and there, but it's all planned minimum 6months to a year prior for stuff that cost more than $500.

What kenchan said. I'm very pleased with my car's appearance on the stock rims with spacers and springs. It's definitely noticeable as a more aggressive stance than stock, but without being a StanceNation poster boy. I'm also of the same mindset when it comes to spending on mods. I can't swing or justify the cash for the wheels I really want (SSR Professor MS1), so I'm just not going to do it. I mean, hey... the OEM Sport Package rims are a pretty good looking RAYS wheel already. Anything less would be a downgrade.

You could probably pick up a nice set of pre-owned Sport Package or Nismo rims with tyres and TPMS for what you'd pay for average quality aftermarket wheels.
Something to chew on.

With those offset, you will have to put in spacers on all four corners, that's another $200, you don't want to mess up your Z with the cheapy one... Pint honey~~~ I strongly suggest you hold off the idea for now.... It seems you can spend a little to fulfill your wish, but it might end up a bigger nightmare.... Quote:

Very nice! I think you're not likely to get thrown out of your seat!
