I have been looking and I may have found one that I can live with. Please honest opinions. They are available in 17x9 24mm (F/R). Is 24mm OK??? I like the 5-spoke pattern for a STAR rim (as opposed to 6,7,8 spokes!!!), but I don't care much for the dual rivets per spoke design. However, but I am yet to see the size/offset/price combination offered by this Montgi rim. So, let me have it, honestly!!! BTW, I'm not stuck to this color, as long as it isn't CHROME, GOLD or some other way off color. Black or polished silver is what I like.

 

I'd do like this, though I don't care much for the xtra holes in the hub to accommodate other bolt patterns, and the mesh thing wasn't easy to clean on my Z31. However, these is a less dense mesh design and they come in 17x8 - 35mm (F) and 17x9 - 35mm (R) which I prefer. Again, honest opinions please. Thanks.

 

do yourself a favor, save up some money, and buy a decent set of wheels.

motegi is crap

 

Thanks. That's the kind of opinion I'd like to hear. However, arent they made by American Racing? My 89 Z31 which I just sold had ARE rims on it since 89 and they still looked very good when I offloaded the car. Why do you say Montegi's are crap? BTW, the second pic is a Sport Max rim. I have no idae who makes them.

 

if you can buy them at autozone/pepboys, you dont want to buy them. thats my policy.

 

theyre cheap wheels. most likely dont even come in the correct sizes...widths

heres a few companies you should look at:

fiske
advan
work
some 5zigen...fno1r-c, sports
some enkei...rpf1
volk

many many more. i just cant think of them right now

 

micro lights. or was that feather lights? one of them is a skateboard type lol.

racing heart

SSR

That's nice. I love it.

 

gram lights

 

you'll want to make sure to get entire wheels. rims alone won't do you much good.

YES!!!!! thank you. that was driving me carzy. lol.

 

LOL!!!!! I drive on really wide rail tracks everywhere. No, but I do have that part covered. These would be strictly summer replacements, so I have time and I know what set of rubber to put on them. I have to decide on what looks best for me, first - of course, it'd be nice that folks here like the looks also!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Saw the vid, but like I pointed out earlier, any star that's not 5-spoke is not for me. My star preference is a 5-spoke otherwise, a mesh. That's just my thing. One of the reason for this is that the Z32 fron discs are quite small compared with the rim size and I hate to see that puny little disc show, proportionless when compared with the rim size. That's also one reason why anything above 17 inches is a NO! NO!! for me.

 

The 5-spoked G'Lights are nice. A coupleof things I don't like about them - the skinny spokes will expose the punny Z32 front brake discs too much - to me, that look is ricey - and the multiple holes in the hub make them look somewhat cheap. Same argument applies to the 5Zigen 5-Spokers, and I'd already ruled them out. My taste is towards the SSR style that was shown earlier (the SP1 is below). I think the LARGE spoke look really fits the Z32 given its wide everything - the rear pillars are wide, the rear end is a killer wide ****, the doors are xtra-wide and even the interior is wide. To complement the relatively narrow front facia, a wide stance is required and that stance will look much better with wide spokes. That's my story and I'll stick with it!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

theres also these two. thought you might like them

 

Both look really really sweet and well done. Even the 6-spoke looks good. Note the large brake discs on the 6-spoke rims. Makes it look even better. These must be 18's or more though. What kind of rims are these?

 

the first might be a work or volk wheel. cant remember right now.

 

the second ones look like a volk wheel

 

second ones are kazera @ tirerack.com

 

for an opinion on looks... i like the black 5 spoke. but there are plenty of other companies that make wheels that look just like that but better. i don't like the exposed rivets in them anyway.

 

yeah, id stay away from the cheesey fake 2 piece rims.

 

Yep, Kazera and they're about $170 a piece on sale at The Rack. Too bad they're 18s.

 

I'm pretty sure 24mm offset is way too low and will stick out too far, you need something in the 30 to 40 range.
