should I put this rims or not?
 

Hello I'm new to the Z world I just got a 2011 370z pearl white, I'm already thinking on buying some aftermarket stuff for it. anyways I used to drive a Honda S2000 and I kept the rims from that car when I sold it, I think, correct me if I'm wrong these wheels will fit my Z, they are Sportmax Wheels - Style 962 Deep Lip Rims by Sportmax Racing they are staggered wheels the front are 18x8.5 offset +35 and the rear are 18x9.5 offset +35 and the lip is 2",114.3 5 bolt pattern,. I know that they are not the best wheels for my car, but I already have them and I don't have the money to spend on nicer ones, My question is will they fit the stock tires and will they fit the car? please let me know what you guys think, good or bad, thank you.

:wtf2:

No please, just powdercoat your stocks or call me when you want something a little more quality.

I plan to chrome my Rays when I get back from Afghan any idea the cost?

Should cost you about $100-$150 per wheel.

They would probably crack under the extra weight of a heavy set female passenger.

if that is all you can afford get them if thats what you want. i would just save my cash until i could afford something forged so that you won't have to worry about a bent wheel.

Your stock 18s are much better quality. If you want to change the look, get 'em powder coated. Just my $.02 worth.

Just powder coat the base rims

Or see if you can catch someone selling their 19" rays. I get LOTS of compliments on them and they are just stock on the sport package :tup:

I think the Z deserves a better wheel than that.

buy my sports so i can get my set of strasse forged wheels

what would be the point of spending money to downgrade your car.

I'll sell you my old Hyundai's 100hp V4 if you want... It'll deff fit.

.....o rly? PM me if they're for sale...

i thought you were selling your car?

+1... in other words, keep the stock 18's.

check out Red_Zed's ride. he lowered his recently and looks pretty damn good with the stock 18's. :tup:

I already have them, I've had this rims for 5 years now, I know they are not the best quality out there, that's why I was looking for you guys opinion.

you got pictures of them?

hey thanks for the replies, here is the thing, I already have the sport max rims, I've had them for 5 years now. I mean they are just sitting there and I know the quality is not the best, that's why I asked the question. right now I'm looking into powdercoating the stock rims, or get the 19" rays, IDK yet.

hey did you read what I wrote? dude Don't get your panties up in a bunch, I own these rims already, I've had them for 5 years, I just wanted to know what ppl on here thought about it, that's all. and I don't want your piece of **** Hyundai

I'm not a wheel snob. They've lasted this long, they're decent looking and they're free. You may want some spacers, but besides that feel free. If for some reason you hit a pothole and they bust just put the stocks back on.

I would keep those rims for a winter setup. I don't know where lake zurich is exactly, but you will want a dedicated winter tire/wheel setup eventually if you are in an area that receives snow. This way, you can save up for what ever custom wheels you want and still have the winter set.

The stock Enkei 18's are actually pretty nice IMO. They just need to be wider. I upsized my tires to 245's F/ 275's R and they look a lot better.

+1

i think lake zurich is in switzerland. :tup: or illionis somewhere... ok, i google earthed... :icon17:

lol, yeah it's Illinois!

Your wheels would fit but the size/offset is too conservative for the 370z. Don't believe me,? just put them on the Z and notice how sunk-in they will look.

I would just sell them or use them as a winter/backup set.

I believe you, I don't need to waste my time doing it! lol I mean really this is saving me alot of hustle, Right now I'm probably just going to leave the stock wheels on and maybe get them powdercoated, but I think I'm going to get a CB soon.

Good choice

Sounds good :tup:

There is a funny picture with S2k rims on a 350z, it looks like a train from being so sunk in :icon17:

couldn't part with it, well that is not gonna get a good trade in value so i'm just gonna keep it. its worth more to me than it would be to get butt raped on a trade in for a smaller payment.

um... pictures, they are the same ones in my avatar standard sports, have michelin sport a/s on them and no curbage. whats the standard asking price for them now?

how much are you asking for them?

on the forums i think the stock 19's go anywhere from 800 (without tires) to about 1500 with tires and tpms.

on ebay ive seen them as high as 3000... :D

lol i had the same problems...
look into like :

volk sf challenge, gts, venaci spirit...
just letting u know... the moment u google them ur gonna say by to xxr... lol

Dude totally put those on!!! If you are trading for a scion?:wtf2:

Man I gotta tell ya...it's hard to put anything other than stock on your car when with some scrimping and scraping your ride can look like Kevr6s!! :bowrofl:

OMG... that's the bodykit I been looking for and can't find!!!!!!!
Where to buy? How much.

My heart flutters.

So 800 w/out tires and i've got 1500 worth of tires on them 700 for the front and 800 for the back michelins so....

1600 for all shipped on your dime or local pickup within 150 miles of Raleigh NC or I will be at ZdayZ in western NC later this month and you can pick them up there. I should have the car trailered and the other set of wheels by then.

damn that's not bad, let me think about it, but don't hold them for me, I just finished talking to tonny from FI and it looks like I'm getting a CB exhaust.

damn!! that's a badass ride.

Meh.
It's okay.

Reach out to Kevr6 and find out what his mods are.
