I think they would be great for racing because of the good quality and inexpensive price. But I'm more for looks and 18 are too small.

I would consider 19' or 20'

Yeah I agree, if your going aftermarket I would go 19's if you want to stay sporty and 20's more for style and looks. You can get some lightweight 20's but they are little more expensive.

i disagree. You should go for 18' s because it is the lightest option you can get. i think enkei pf01 is a great rim, but are you sure it weighs 20lbs? on their size chart it says 18lbs. Plus you have more and cheaper tire sizes. for example, best tires DUnlop star spec only comes in 18's.
My friend has 17' on it and it only weighs 17 lbs! but i wouldn go 17' cause it mite be too small for BBKs.
just IMO

I think they would look great in 19 also, but I do not think Enkei makes them in 19.

Not a bad looking wheel, and they are light.

This is true and I agree the 18's are the lightest option, but what are you trying to accomplish? Are you strictly concerened with racing? If so what type? Drag, Drift, Road course? It depends on what you are trying to do with the rim and how much footprint you want to put down. But either way the rim looks pretty sharp and I doubt you'll be disappointed with them.

even just on the street or DD, i want my z to have as much performance as possible. I hate ricing out my car with 20" rims. lightweight=performance. That is why i am trying to accomplish.

You will always benefit from a smaller lighter rim, no matter what you are doing. Doesn't look as good, but its better in every way.

those wheels look great, weight and looks on par with some of the more expensive brands (volk, work, etc.) for half the price, i'd run em.

i think z34performanceparts.com has some black 18x9.5 & 18x10.5 pf01's on order...

I wonder how they'll look in black or gunmetal on a 370z



the next thing is to find a good matching set of tires... whether it be a 18x9.5 front or a 18x10.5 front... 265/40/18's F & 295/35/18's R or 285/40/18's F & 305/35/18 (maybe 315/30/18) R

Pulling this thread from the dead .. would it be possible to run these 18 x 10.5 in the front and rear? If so, does anyone know what size tires would fit best along with the offset? I need a nice looking set for DD and track .. and will retain my current set of custom Rays for Shows...

Last I inquired, there were no offsets for the 18x10.5 size that would fit the front well. It would be way too aggressive and would stick out past the fender if I recall correctly.
