I admit they are not great track wheels, but I never track or else I would have gotten a sport. Anyways, 19" wheels don't make good street wheels, they are too susceptible from pothole damage and the like. Last edited by viiv; 02-22-2021 at 10:25 PM. |

and it's not the diameter that's the problem, it's the width. |

But, justifying its beauty by saying a similar design is on something much more expensive...doesn’t actually say the said wheel is beautiful. The smallest difference can make or break a design, so “similar” doesn’t mean as much as you may like. Then there’s always the saying “money doesn’t buy taste”. Something can be expensive but still be bug ugly.

Please don't put words in my mouth. The similarities are a stretch. Just like these two women look similar.

A Bugatti is power in the hands of very few but I have always liked the 18” gun metal base wheels on the OP Heritage Edition Z very nice color! You will find that some of the Nissan wheels are better quality than some of the aftermarket wheels some people choose to put on their Z’s.

I asked my wife who was clueless about Z's at the time which she thought was the more expensive (trim) level, and she pointed to the base model. |

Your "clueless" wife incorrectly picking which trim is more expensive isn't proof of anything other than the fact she is clueless

When you know that this is the higher more expensive trim level, or this is the more expensive car you will develop an inherent bias to choose it. My 'clueless' wife is a stronger indicator on what is more attractive in the real world than the VERY limited subset of people who make up enthusiast car forums.

maybe i made a mistake tryin to educate people about wheel fitment
living in a world where superficial, vague similarities in spoke design with no regard to sizing is such a simple, happy existence santa claus is real, man on the other hand, thinking that 19's aren't streetable ooh boy thats like living in a black and white sitcom from the 50's

Never said 19s weren't streetable, but however small a percentage, they are nether less still more prone to damage than 18s. Last edited by viiv; 02-23-2021 at 10:58 AM. |
