that is a good price though for a set of track wheels or something to that extent. IIRC they should be the same size etc so alignment wouldn't be an issue.

Great price but imo it's the wrong look for Z32s. I may be bias since I'm not a big fan of chrome rims on anything other then luxury rides.

honestly i don't like any of the 350 wheels all that much. and certainly not those. but if they are wider, and you are just after getting more rubber on the road, then those seem like a good cheap way to do it.

if they are the size you want, and they aren't any heavier than stock, they look good to me. they do have a good price on them.

Smaller diameter is lighter and more responsive for track use. 16" would be the best performance. Or go with 17" 350Z wheels for more tire selection.

^^^ Apparently you didn't get his sarcasm.

Click on that second link he posted... second result:350Z: 5 x 114.3 offset 30

It's actually easier to find results using the phrase "350z LUG pattern" but here's another good find: http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse...._Reference.cfm

Thank you NismoPick. Yes, both the Z32 and Z33 use a 5x114.3 lug pattern.

bolt pattern is important, but offset is what is most important. mustang's have a 5 x 114.3 pattern as well, that doesn't mean they will fit.

The best thing to do is search for wheels you like and find someone who has them and ask them about fitment, offset, etc etc.

If you've ever played with a toy like one of these...

... you'd know that a pentagon can't fit in a square. Hence, 4-lug 280ZX wheels are incompatible with 5-lug 350Z's.

Not really... a member of 8 years with 8000 posts couldn't be that dumb... but it gave me an excuse to post a picture of that toy which I thought would've been a clever response to such a question if one were to seriously ask.
