ok fellas....my girlfriend wants to buy me some rims, so i need a suggestion on the best rims for a Z. i checked ebay and i really like those ADR ones with a fat lip....but they are like chrome or something. i want gunmetal with lots and lots of lip....you gotta have the lip. she is getting them for our 1 year anniversary...now thats what i call an awesome girlfriend. so help out and hit me with some suggestions. she offered to pay for the tires, but i can't let her spend so much money. now i gotta spit out some serios dugh and get her something nice too....i know tires hahaha...

 

Look into Seneka Sports. The ADR's are sweet and you can get them in gunmetal too. Just not on Ebay (I don't think so anyway). Another thing that I kinda like is 350z rims. They look pretty good on a clean Z. Look around. I posted a post with TONS of links to sights to look for Wheels a little while ago. Check this out.

Thats a good place to look.

 

thanx emo.... i figured my Z needs some new shoes with fat lip..and this is a z32 forum si i have a z32

 

I went with the BBS RC's. 17's up front with Michelin Pilot Sport 255/40's. 18's in the rear with 275/35's. That'sprobaly more than you need on your NA though.

 

they are nice, but i want more lip... i am not looking for the wheels that are too fancy i wanna keep the clean look, i like these i just want the lip

 

you are right 91zxtt, but i am prolly gonna do the tt swap when i get some of my tax money back. and emo this is a great site wheel specs thanx a lot

 

Glad I could help. The ADRs do have a lot of lip I believe. Volks do too, but you might be making your girl spend a lot of money if you do that. And now you're gonna hafta get her some diamond earings!

 

Just found this. you might be interested.

How much are you willing to let her spend?

the exact rims that I want.
Extremely light weight even for 17 and 18 inch sizes. Expensive though. Unless you got the hook-up of course.

*just to clarify, the SSR Cometitions on the black TT is what I want. Not the chrome disasters posing as rims on the other cars.

 

rizz those are nice, i like those... and as far as the money goes i'd say close to 2g...she's a rich bitch

 

I guess, then in that case, I'd have to say look at Volk's selection, they make some nice nice rims. Hey and could you get your gf to buy me some nismo 555s please. Thanks and tell her thanks for me too.

 

Tire Rack sells them. They range in price from $359 to $449 per rim depending on size. So you'll be looking at $1436 to $1796 for a set without tires.

The 17" weigh as little as 15LBS per rim. The 18" weigh as little as 16LBS. The wider rims weigh about a pound more. Considering some 17 and 18 inch rims weigh anywhere up to about 25-40LBS per rim. I think that they're phenomenal rims!!

But at that price, there's no way I would buy them! Good thing that I have an account with them! All I need now is some money!!

 

i'll aske her emo.....she said no way well she's been good to me, got me some nismo seats and 4 pt harnesses for xmas. so i will keep her for a while. she's a great girl too.

 

Are you gonna get those zwrecker? or is your gf rather? Those are pretty sweet, I like your taste Rizz. And those are light. My 18's in the back are 22 lbs each, a little hefty but not too bad considering.

 

Can't go wrong with Syle and Performance, right?

 

No you can't. That's why I'm a big fan of Volk, they're in that lightness range. Zwrecker, look at those that Rizz showed you and look at Volk, a lot of their wheels are about that style. How big do you think you want to go?

 

i want 18x9.5 in the rear with big lip, and 18x8.5 in the front. my z is gonna be a high flying into the curves machine

 

I hope you're doing suspension too. That's gonna look kinda funny if you don't drop the car a little.

 

kyb agx 4 way front 8 waay rear adj damper. eibach pro kit , polyurethane bushings, sway bars, adj upper arm and rods...i am gonna try filling my chasis so it gets super tight+front and rear struts.

 

Good setup. You'll be amazed at how your car handles when you do all that suspension work. I have all that, but intrax springs and tokiko illuminas. It's AMAZING! Puts a whole new meaning to handling on rails.

 

i know i drove it around the neighborhood since i don't have my lisence and i love it... i just can't wait for those wide rims

 

Have you decided on a set of wheels yet? And why don't you have your liscense?
