Well , i never said not to use the Ebay ones , i mean , its nothing but a round piece of aluminum w/ longer studs. But we dont know if they are Hub Centric or if the studs are quality studs.

About your wheel selection. The Hyper Black looks ok , but i would knock out the center caps. But honestly , i would shop around a bit more.

You'd be better off getting some 350z 17's... and adding a 5-10mm spacer, no to mention cheaper..

I kinda like them, but honestly I think you'd be happier saving a little more and talking to yokota er just going through somebody to get some good rims off yahoo auctions japan or something like that.

But here are some other options though probably none to your liking I'll put them out there.

These are pretty much the same offset but staggered and they are localhttp://dallas.craigslist.org/pts/554961154.html

and these two options can be had for $1150 wheels, tires, centercaps mounted and balanced shipped.

18x8.5



both available in a darker finish I believe...but you know just trying to help

I think it would look good. Try a search for that size or something close to it.

his car is black he has a green valve cover. see pics in the beginning of the thread

tantan you don't have to get hub centric spacers. you have a street car not a race car that is going 150+ and highly tuned everything. you wont feel any difference with or without the hub centric. the wheel is held in place via the lug nuts. the hub centric was just something that tricked down from racing to the street world and every one thinks you need them now. i have a friend that got wheels on his 350z drove it for a month and got centric rigs and didn't notice one bit of difference, and he drive very spirited a lot of the time. (i don't know if that made sense I'm tired)

I was just about to approve the offsets/sizing for the above combo, looks like you're already ordering them +1

Much better +20 for an 8.5 and 9.5 rim will be flush as hell! Maybe even a bit on the stretch side which is always baller!

Looking forward to updates, I didn't know u were doin stuff to ur car?

You didn't know because I'm a ninja. lolI haven't had a chance to make a build thread of anything. I'll make one soon when I feel like my car is worthy enough to have one.
