haha thanks. but what do you think will look best? im thinking vortex. i did order the vairano. but its easy to cancel.

[BlackSmoke]

Seriously I like the last pic especially the size. The Vortex is nice. I think any would look good on your car. I have faith you will ppost pics when they are on. Z Chic FTW

[lucsious]

thanks. yeah im doing 20's. i was thinking 19 but talked into 20's by the guys at the shop.oh and my cars on car domain you can view it anytime for updates. im more up to date on my page then here.

Nice pics on car domain, I know one thing you will never sell that car to a guy. That s*** is the bomb. Very clean keep it up.

[Mr. Z33]

Def like the vortex the best! You should get those instead

[lucsious]

thanks, kk vortex it is. i found diamond lug nuts anyway i was quoted 2600 all in. from a good friend. i feel its a good deal. for 20's with 20 tires as well.and mind you 2600 canadian.anyone know of anywhere cheaper, of course canada so i avoid custom duties,. shipping...etc

[K03sport]

why 20s? Just cuz the shop guys talked you into them doens't mean they were the best choice.

the 2nd set is my fav. and in 19s.

Also, a certain song by ZZtop comes to mind, but I'll let you figure it out.

[lucsious]

why 19's?i cant really tell the difference from far away. but either or is good

with new wheels comes new tires...what tire (tyres) are you going to put on those wheels? What is the selection for performance tires in that size?

[lucsious]

well i wanted something cheap as im not rich..lol and was also tipped off that cheaper tires last a lil longer as there harder. im not into performance to much just looks.

[abishop]

i'd go with the first ones.

[lucsious]

what about 19 front 20 back. whats everyones take on that? anyone have any good pics of it?

[Kalypso]

I think the first ones, out of the two would suite you best....and without the rhynestones

you might not be in the realm to ball out, but I think some work vs-fx will look more stylish.



or vs-kf

[Mr. Z33]

I also like the first one that you mentioned...what brand are they? Though I really like the vortez that she is getn too so I see no reason for her to cancel her order...again

[lucsious]

yeah i just want something clean and simple. not ballin at all..lolbut now just stuck on 19 or 20?or 19 front 20 rear

[K03sport]

IMO, 19s all around or 20s all around, but not mixed. I think it would through off the balance of the car's look. Yes, cars like the NSX had +1 difference between F and R, but it was designed like that. The Z looks better with the same size all around.

How wide will these wheels be? 8F/9R, 8.5F/9.5R, 9F/10.5R, same width front and rear or something not mentioned

[lucsious]

20 by 8.5 front20 by 10 rear

k heres a pic from tsw though and its a white 350z with the rims i want. does it no look like the back is 20 and front is 19?

[K03sport]

I think it is an optical illusion on that white Z. Those wheels are the same diameter. They might look different sizes because the wheels are positioned differently and the tires have slightly different sidewalls.

I realize you aren't into performance as much as looks, I was just curious how many performance oriented tires are in the 20" range. Looking at tirerack, there are a handful and none of them are bad.

Oh, also, is your airbox going to get some diamond treatment? Seeing the engien bay pic further up, it is one of the few things under the hood that doesn't have any jewels on it.

Are you still thinking about putting diamands on the wheels or are you leaving them clean? For a minute there, I thought of these Asanti wheels when you said you wanted to put diamonds on them.

Show us when you get them.

[lucsious]

hah no thats to ballin. for me and no diamonds on the rims but did order diamond lug nuts. lolbut if you take a small ruler and measuer the rims diameter on the white z the rear is slightly bigger.if there not double staggered would you say there 19 or 20 ?thanks

[JETPILOT]

Luscious.... You have nasty taste in rims.

You could do better for the money. Try a set of AXIS Hiro's.

[Kalypso]

^ agreed.

dont buy mid tier wheels... go all out

[lucsious]

naaa im going all out on everything else want to keep a subtle look. and plus im a girl i have wayy different taste the you guys do. thanks though

[JETPILOT]

Having bad taste in wheels has nothing to do with being a woman. There is a girl over at my350z.com that has a set of WORK// VS-XX wheels which are very tasteful.

You can spend the same money or even less and get better looking wheels.

And please for the love of god stop encrusting the car with diamonds.

like they say different strokes for different folks. i think your the only one that clearly doesnt like it.its my style. and your car may not be my style.my car and ill do what i want with it. im the one driving it. it turns heads wherever it goes. and i get questions about the crystals everywhere. even from guys wanting to do it to theres ive been ranging #1-#3 in overall top 350z on car domain for the past 2 months might i add out of 2,300. and not one person has had anything bad to say about it.i like a clean look. more people agree on this page they like the rims i chose over just a few who dont including you.

anyways didnt start this page to get knocked down started it cause i was stuck on rims. and wanted peoples opinions.its one thing to say you dont like the rims i chose. i understand thats going to happen but to tell me to stop encrusting my car with crystals. wtf!

[lucsious]

p.s googled those rims and tottaly not my style. if i wanted to look like i was riding a bike. i would have bought a bike. like i said ppl have way diferent styles. and thoes are definately not for me.

have to say definately suits other cars. dont completely hate them but dont like them. especially not on mine there just wayyy to busy

[JETPILOT]

I wasn't recomending Work VS-XX wheels because they are clearly out of your price range at $1000ea. The point was that girls can have good tate too.
