should I put this rims or not?

Pitz · 05-10-2011, 01:39 AM

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.

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

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.

Lemers · 05-10-2011, 08:12 AM

Just powder coat the base rims

hansoac · 05-10-2011, 08:33 AM

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

I think the Z deserves a better wheel than that.

USMCASA · 05-10-2011, 09:10 AM

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

Econ · 05-10-2011, 09:11 AM

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.
