Alright so it's time to talk wheels. I currently have the horrible (as d!ck knows) 3-point probe looking wheels and i hate how gimpy they look. This isn't a 'what should i put on my car' thread, i just want to know what wheels you guys like, have, want. im just looking for ideas I was thinking about buying a set of these But i don't know if i like how far out the center is.

Don't get those. They have a horrible offset. Meshies never fail.

On a budget, or what?

If I was tight on cash, I'd jump on the 16x8 Sportmax 002s with an offset of 0.

Not really, but i thought these would look decent when i first saw them, and they happen to not cost an arm and a leg!

I moved this to where it belongs

So, what's your budget for wheels & tires? I assume you're looking for 17's, maybe 16's?

thanks for the move, i totally forgot about the wheel section, my bad.Yea im looking for 17's and im not totally positive about what i want, i originally wanted a nice 5-spoke wheel, but i've seen a few sets of Enkeis that i like with alooot of spokes

Are you 4 or 5 lug?

If 5 lug, check out the 17" Z33/350Z wheels on the green coupe in this threadhttp://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=229025You can find them for <$500 with decent rubber if you watch ebay closely.

If you're 4 lug ... good luck .

Thanks for the info...i am actually 4 lug right now, which definitely is making things tougher, i may upgrade but i'm not sure, is it a big ordeal to put on 5 lug rotors? i've never even looked into it because ive never had to.and mannn those wheels look great, i would love to have those!

The 4 lug to 5 lug swap/upgrade would eat up all your wheel budget.

Keep an eye on the Wheels/Tires classifieds, there's almost always something on there. Actually I think there's a smoking deal ($800) on a set of 16x8 Rota Grids with good tires.
