if you go with a 225-235/40 on the front and a 265-275/45 rear it will look good too. Mine are 18's and look good. Just stay away from low profile tires and the wheels will look fine.

As far as getting those wheels.....

Well the ones im getting are black with a chrome lip. anyways ya i dont really want them i just don't have money to get the wheels i want and this will look a lot better then stock. If i could get any wheel it would be the bronze nismo wheels but that would set me back like $2500, which is like 2 months of pay.

You have 5 lugs and such a wide range of wheels to choose from. I wouldn't get the Sportmax wheels.

Watermelon listen up!! No Sportmaxx. If you do not have the money to buy what you want then DONT buy it. Save up and get the good stuff it is worth it. Those wheels are (to put it nicely) blisteringly disgusting I can see this company has no creative management division. Yeah I know you want different from factory wheels but save up and get the ones you want instead.

And +10 for evil you billit whore.

The D5R's i have were $2000, but they recently discontinued them...... Its worth it for the wheels you really want.

yeah... Id avoid getting those for your Z. Might be better to just keep saving till you can get something nicer.

I was planning on getting a Z or a G but got a Titan instead. I wanted to get some 19" sevas wheels. They are fairly affordable and you can get um in really good sizes.

I think what I was planning was like a 19x9 fr and a 19x10 rear with a +20 offset. They were alittle over a grand but thats fair for a good sized bad *** wheel.

Thats only alitte more saving and alot better end result.

Dude! I didn't know you were on NICO! I recognize your car from Craigslist!

I talked to you, like 3 weeks ago about buying your rear wheels for my Zenki 240. I will be very very pissed if you get rid of those wheels that I want so very much for those poopy Sportmax's...

-1 for thinking about buying sportmaxx wheels. Personally, I don't really like rays/volk wheels cuz everyone has them and they can't forge good 3 piece 19" and 20" wheels. I love having large diameter lightweight wheels. SSR is the way to go.



not my cars, just pictures of some of the wheels i rock. I'm gonna get a set of the new type f wheels and maybe a set of the type c's as well. check them out if you get a chance.
