Picked up these wheels with the tires for $400. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. They fit pretty well with my stock suspension. Rears are pretty close to the wheel well but the fronts are further apart. No fender rolling necessary yet, but of course it will be when I slam it.

350Z 18" Touring V1 wheels (2003-2005)18x8.0 +30 all around



Some shots of the fitment:^RIP mudflap

Also saw this STI and a G35 with the same rims as me (but painted gunmetal gray with no center caps) in one of the parking lots I took pics in:

Anyway, I'm really happy with the way they look. I think they're awesome. It'll look a lot better come the spring/summer when I give her new paint and maaaybe coilovers by then. My Navan grille should be arriving real soon too. By the way, I think I should probably give a shoutout to whoever's car this is (sorry, I forget whose it is but it's definitely someone here), since it really is what inspired me to go with these 350Z rims. I was already interested in them a bit but this car just made me go . Honestly, it's the best looking Zenki I've ever seen and by the time I'm finished with my car hopefully it will look something like it.

to each his own. Reminds of me wheels on GTA:SA. But that STI doesn't have the same wheels as you. Looks like it has the gold rims.

<Side rant> Why does nearly every WRX I've seen lately have something to do with turbo's? Spoolen, Boosted, spooled. Pissen me off. Rich screws that buy a turbo'ed car and all think they are tuning champs. f***. /rant

As I was pulling out onto the road earlier today I saw a 350Z with the track rims. At first I thought they were the same as mine from far away. Then later I saw that G35 in the pics with my rims.

Get rid of those tires when you can afford to; if they are the Bridgestone RE050's... not sure if the dealers put those on Z's and G35's since you are in Ontario.. but if they are the RE050, they are pretty ****ty in the rain. They are summer tires so don't count on them for getting you anywhere safely.

i know the re050's or w/e are factory s2000 tires. (i think...) if they are good enough for the s2000 they are good enough for a stock 240. but yea i agree on them sucking in winter though since it's summer. just be careful around snow and i woudln't worry about rain if you have vlsd...i still have summer tires on and my car feels the same in the rain as dry.

They're RE040s. Still seem like summer tires but I can't really complain since my Dunlop all season 16s on the stock rims didn't have much grip left and I was always sliding in the snow anyway. These ones have deeper tread, but we'll see how they perform when more snow comes. I know I'll slide, but it's just a question of if they're better or not than the worn all seasons I had.

Plus I just couldn't wait till spring to put them on. Too tempting.

I like 350z wheels on 240s almost more than aftermarket ones. Gives them a clean look.
