Carbon Fiber Rims

shabarivas · 07-02-2009, 02:31 PM

No way man those weds wheels are more like 3k a wheel - so for a set of 4 = 12,000$ -> but then again all wheels together will weigh less than one of our stock ones... LOL

Money well spent. Nothing like good shoes....lol

jmlenz · 07-02-2009, 03:37 PM

I applaud anyone here that can spend 1/3 the price of their car on wheels!

nogoodname · 07-02-2009, 04:13 PM

It's another win the lotto type rims.

but think about it guys. rims are one of the most improtant things on the car after the tires because tires touch the ground and are the only thing conecting you to the ground and the second important thing so its money well spend. i have big plans for the z but im still in the reasearch stage. rims are the number one thing on my list tho.

6lb rims lol can you imagine how fast the car is going to be?

Hate to say it, but if I could afford those rims, I'd be in something a little pricier than the Z.

i say if u r going to be the cleanest Z and fastest get this car with a TT kit....ahhhhhhhh 1 day.....mmmmmmmm....I say we all go buy a lottery ticket .....righhht...NOW! GO GO GO GO =]

true CF wheels + 370z just put you in used Z06, E90 M3, 996 Turbo, 997 S, etc territory...and you STILL wont match the performance.

If your gonna spend 12k+ on the Z do yourself a favor and boost it...way better bang for the buck

I think CF Wheels look pretty awesome but its way over the top! It would be pretty dope to have them though!

^Agreed.

They look slick, but imagine the depreciation with fade. I would only pull them out once a year for show. I'd be to scared to track them at those prices..

Armen, I agree with you, but for the money, you will still get way more performance out of a TT or SC kit, and you don't have to be super careful about dinging or curbing your rims, repairing one of these is going to cost you a bundle.
Go with a nice set of 18lb forged alloy wheels and invest the money in engine mods.
just my 2 cents.
