hey guys, ok now im more confused than a deaf guy getting cussed at.

now im stuck between these 2 rims: The G35 Rims 18"

or the 350Z Touring Rims

i like them both but i dont know which to chose. I would get them both but cant afford them.. help me out guys lol, which would look better on my car on your opinion



2 different guys are selling me them and both of them want less than $400 for the set..

i say, get the ones with the lowest offset.

looks-wise, i like the 350z touring ones, but if theyre only 17s, go back with the g35.

I like them both, but the 350z one seems too aggressive for me. I am planning on the G35 on my S14 in the future...

1 vote for the 350z wheels. The G35s may be a little busy for an s13 vert, but just my .02

They're both 18's.

The G35 7 spoke are 18x8 +30 all around, but came OEM with staggered tire sizes.

The 350Z Touring 5 spoke are 18x8 +30 & 18x8.5 +33.

I'd suggest the 350Z wheels.

the problem with 18's is that they fill so much of the wheel weel, the car can never achieve a low profile
