looking for rims

NastyZ · 04-19-2010, 01:18 PM

right now i am looking for rims for my pg 2009 370 and i'm having a hard time so i'm just looking for some suggestions

Jeffblue · 04-19-2010, 01:21 PM

try and figure out what type of style you want to begin with.
number of spokes? 5,6,7, etc or mesh
do you want a Lip?
18" or 19"

are you getting them for looks or performance. is weight a concern?
and obviously whats your price range?

figure out the style you want and work from there.

NastyZ · 04-19-2010, 01:31 PM

well price is not a big factor.
size i am looking for 19"
as far as performance or looks i guess you would say im looking for a good looking performance wheel and i would like lighter ones.
and as for as spoke number mesh and all im not picky

so if price is no concern you may as well go volk.
Volk-GTS is a nice 5 spoke with a lip
Volk SF Winning is a nice mesh with a lip.
both are pretty lightweight i believe.

SSR for light wheels lol...

Tenzo's have a nice offset in 19's

+1 for SSR wheels if you really want performance get 18s less rotation weight.

IMHO the Venaci Spirits and Mesh rims are very good looking on the Z. I'd also consider the Volk TE37's in black. There are many pics of these rims, just do a search on this forum. As far as spokes, i feel that 6 or 7 spokes look best for the Z.

Edit

ok, so i dug up some pics:

Venaci MESH:

Venaci Spirits (yes, same car as above):

Volk TE37's:

I've the same color car, and I put 19" SSR typeF on. 4 1/2 lbs. lighter per wheel.
Check out my album.

I have my 19" SSR Type-F for sale in the for sale section if you want pictures. I've got nothing but compliments on them everywhere I've gone (i.e.: car meets/shows/out to eat/mall/movies). Let me know if you want them.
