Why 18inch, the Perfect Wheel Size for the 370Z

kevin.z · 04-01-2012, 05:31 PM

Recently, a lot of people tell me that 18inch rims are not as good looking as 19's or 20's. Although this is subject to personal taste, I think people should look at how well the 18' fit their car before blindly going to 19' and 20's. 18' rims gives you the following advantages:

-Lot Better performance with less rotational weight: my TE37SL weight 17lbs, stock weighs 23lbs
-More extreme summer tires options (some only come 18's)
-Cheaper everything (mounting, tires, etc)

In terms of the look department, I will share some pictures of me and my friend's Z.

If you have 18' aftermarket rims as well, feel free to share it in this thread!
