I'm in the same boat you are

edub370 08-24-2011 08:05 AM

sig pic... different, but i love em. go 19's for sure. u know u will wish u had later!

I thiink if you have sport rims they really stand out on silver. 15/20mm spacers and a good coilover kit will just make them stand out even more. But black rims does give the Z a stealthier gangsta look. Just imho and nothing more... I would stay away from the chrome lips though unless I owned gunmetal, black or red. Those colors create more of a positive contrast for the lip vs silver on more bright accenting. Go with a black that's not glossy, because glossy black looks cheap on rims. But don't go matte to the point where they are borderlining gray. But a subtle true black matte finish. Something in the 5 or 6 star design, and extremely dark tint all around as the accent. Also black out the front bumper lower lip or replace it with a thin lipped body kit. Which would look even nicer imho. That's more or less where I was headed with my silver Z eventually. :(

^^ Something like this maybe: They are Forgestar F14 Matte Black

I don't know - that matte black stuff is blase' if you ask me. I prefer something about the same color as the Z or maybe a gun metal center with polished lips.

If you have the sport package and want to show off the brakes, something with five spokes (or so) might be the ticket.

Warning - I am aesthetically challenged. :)

'chrome edge' you mean polished lip? 18's are too small with polished lips imho.

I went 18. 19 are sick expensive and 20 are nice but dd them with rubberband tires without a drop was iffy. I slapped on my 18 and have never looked back. From what I've seen my z is as distinct a silver z as there is on the forum, not the nicest or most expensive. With my wheel combo and lip kit and tint I turn heads and garner attention at a sick rate every day all day.

Overall do what makes you happy not what you think someone else will like. I went aftermarket 18 and bought a cheaper wheel and love them. Most people can't tell the size or price and they have held up excellent

Good lucki will try and post some pics to help you decide but go with your gut of black wheels, makes the silver z look menacing

ddvette9 08-25-2011 09:22 AM

Here ya go. 18 matte black with cherry ring around the outside

I've seen a couple of silver cars rolling on Mag blue wheels. I really like the look.

But if you want something more conservative then definitely go gunmetal or silver like Trip.

DjSquall 09-05-2014 03:05 PM

9 in the front, 11 in the rear. 10/12's will force you to camber (I'm no expert but I'm like 90%sure)

Wow, you obviously love your car!! And someone takes some great photo's!

It's not easy to find wheels in those sizes. This is going to take awhile.

Thanks for the size info!

DjSquall 09-05-2014 03:42 PM

That company will make any size/color you want. VERY good wheels. I know they used to be a vendor on here.

Oh, and thank you!

0101 09-05-2014 04:13 PM

Nothing looks better or more classy than stock IMO:
Maybe gunmetal finish them?

MadChemist 09-05-2014 05:06 PM

Do something unique. You can pretty much do every color possible. silver on grey is boring to me.

1st 09-06-2014 11:28 AM

18" deff to small!!!!!!! Silver on silver, silver on polished, silver on silver w/ chrome hardwear i think looks nice.

Don't get me wrong I love the Rays! But at the end of the day there stock. Just like the them intakes and exhaust, etc, etc.

EndyKwon 09-06-2014 12:50 PM

I've got the 5-Axis: AD wheels on. As shown here. The day I got it on my Z.
Here it is on my car with amuse rear, sport spoiler.
They look like the new 991 carrera wheels, makes your car look more Porsche-like.

I currently have these on 20s, I get compliments everywhere I go. It's fantastic!
Also shameless plug, selling the 19s version of these too (same color too!).

woops, didn't listen to OP. I'm bad. He wanted black with silver rims. I'd suggest the tokyo time attack from Volk

This, easily the most attractive wheel I've seen on any silver 370z.

DOOMMONKEY777 09-06-2014 02:07 PM

I currently have S-Tune nismo rims that come originally in gray,
They look slick n lots of ppl ask me about them.

they're perfectly paint matched. lightest wheels either stock or optional for the Z. my friends all say they're UGLY. i think they're awesome though.
