New To Site - Looking For Rims - Help Please?

Husky Downs

So I have a black 370Z and I'm trying to find some rims that will look sick. Not cold/flu sick, I'm talking the type where a quarantine is required. HA!

Seriously though, I can't decide, sadly, I haven't bought rims since I had a 97' GSX Eclipse and at that time I bought Racing Hart's from Spreewell Racing in San Gabriel, CA. That was pre-choking coaches for Spreewell.

As you can read, I'm out of the game as far as what is a good rim to get etc. Your patience and understanding is definitely appreciated with a noob like myself.

So rim me!

Umm...err...give me your ideas on rims is what i mean. HA! HA!

Going to need to know a lot more about your preferences....

Do you want to race these wheels? Drag strip or road course, if so?
Or do you want some to just cruise around on?
You like subtle? Flashy?
Do you want to be more unique, or get a wheel that everyone generally approves of, but tons of people have?

I could go on and on, you get the point...

*EDIT*
FWIW, this is my vote for good LOOKING wheels: http://www.vossenwheels.com/gallery/...VSCV2-452.aspx

But I wouldnt get them if you wanna race on them.

Those rims are sick MightyBoBo! Wonder what the cost is on those bad boys. May have to get my google on!

There's a vendor on the site here that sells them at a discount to forum members I believe, so dont just buy straight from a site. And I'd hazard to guess they're around $3K or so.

Glad you like them though, Ive had my eye on them a while - may have to snag a set once my financials settle down after this deployment

^^ Very true.. Rims are one of those things that definitely comes down to what you plan on doing with the car, how important weight savings is to you, but more importantly it comes down to budget and just personal preference.

It would be kind of a shot in the dark to just randomly start suggesting rims to you. There is a LOT of choices.

Look on the Lorenzo web site. I just put 20" Lorenzo's (wheel 29) on my Z. Looks real sick. I have pics in my album under My Z in OKC.

Sorry guys, I don't know why I wasn't more detailed.

Basically, I'm looking for rims that look cool as this is my daily driver. I'm not worried about racing, I've been there done that and at this point in my life (I'm 32) I'm all about having a car I love that looks good. And of course, I'm interested in meeting other guys who share the same passion for their car as I do mine. Although, as I've found out on here, most people like to race their beast, and well more power to them for it. After all, the Z is a great car to race.

I may not pursue a race, but just saying, if one comes my way and it's not a fellow Z'er...well that's a different story. HA! HA!

Your best bet is to glance through the member gallery and 370Z photos on here and find a set of wheels to your liking. You can also google for modified 350Zs, as a majority of their wheels will fit our car as well.

Do it right, get some Volks or Work wheels but yea I would go with some sport pkg wheels powdercoated for now. Otherwise, save your cash and keep a look out for some used wheels.

Nope, I still have them...but they are out of the OP's buget. Plus, I don't REALLY want to sell them.
