The Rays will be staying on this particular 370z, but I were to change them it would be with custom milled rims by Champion Motorsport as they are the best rims I have ever owned.

Rays will definitely be the most popular...But I would like to see some with HRE's and iForged wheels!

The Rays are a play on the Challenger concept wheels and I like that a great deal as they add more dimension to a rim (being forged adds even more credibility to the rim).

Challenger Concept Rim ↓↓

What I do not like in a rim is a fake two/three-piece, or fake engineered rim, or chrome, period. HRE makes a quality rim; iForged look to be good. There is just something about a simple elegant design that is more appealing to me than a visually busy rim.

True, You can't forget about the monoblocks either though, HRE, iForged, and Rays make some Awesome ones.
I too am not a fan of cheap and chrome rims personally.

The shop Z will be getting some wheel fitment testing soon, and am looking forward to it!

My 350Z had racing Harts c4

I'll go with some Axis 19x20

I'm having a hard time justifying spending $3K + on tires and wheels, when I can be putting that toward a TT kit or Supercharger. I probably will go with aftermarket wheels at some point, but I think the factory Rays sport wheels are a pretty good set. Now I just need to decide if I should keep them silver or have them powder coated satin black. what do you guys think? see attached photoshopped pics. Oh, I lowered the car 1.5 inches too

dlmartin81 · 02-21-2009, 10:55 PM

^^ Hey, nice job with the pics.

I think they look great the way they are but look just as nice with the powder coat black. I guess it all depends if you want to set your Z apart from the rest and want to spend the money geting the color change. Black does look more bad azz, while the silver looks more clean and sophisticated. These are just my opinions of course.

Anyway, you say that you rather not spend the $$ on new wheels and tires and instead on a TT kit. So why not do that. Leave the wheels the way they are and use the $$ that you would pay to get them painted towards your TT kit.

Does this seem logical?

Thanks, Yep I agree, I think I only want to do so it's a little different then the rest. It's not that expensive though, place by my work is only $250 for all 4 wheels. I'm like 50/50, I think it looks good both ways, just depends on my mood.

I like the Rays VR-G2 forged (black on red)

Saw these on the internet, and the SSR Type Fs look very nice IMO
