Default Advice for new wheels

So ive decided i want to change the stock 19" rays for some aftermaket wheels. I have been driving myself crazy trying to find new wheels and i just wanted to see what you guys suggested. My budget is around 1600 for the four wheels. Pictures are great

To be honest, the stock Rays will be better than anything you will get for 1600.

Rays in 19" for 1600-- maybe you can find a deal on used ones in decent condition. I suggest this forum, the 350z forums, zilvia, rbwheels, or vipstylecars.com (those are my routine go-to places when I'm getting new wheels).

If you want to buy new new though, then you're a little out of luck with selection. That is, unless you don't mind fakin' the funk.

Good luck OP

The stock rays are great forged wheels. For 1600 you *may* be able to find a used set of forged 19s on one of the z forums. They won't be pristine and the tires will probably need replacement, but whatever.

Is the $1,600 with selling your 19" OEM's factored in?

Other than Enkei's your only option is to find a used set in the marketplace.

Instead of buying new wheels, perhaps get your Rays powdercoated and spend the $$ on suspension mods...?? Give you a better overall ride?

If you have the tires off your OEM wheels than I say get some forgestars. I got mine shipped to my door in 19x10 and 19x9 for under $1500 and I love them and than i got $800 for selling my stock wheels.
