best wheels for a Z
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.

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!

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.

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!!

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.

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?

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.
