Talking Now here's what I want for my 350Z!

You know I'm not the most "lavish" person when it comes to wheels, but after looking around quite a bit I believe I have 2 contenders! What do you think (I know Manaray would aproove anyhthing high $$$ )

a sporty car like 350Z will need sporty wheels. Just like it'll look very weird with LD1s.

Go with the C2 style mesh wheels if I were u

Default I'd take option 2

I LIKE those mesh wheels...I hate exposed lugs, they are money in my book.

Yup what the guys said holds true here the C2 looks stunning on the 350Z.. Globe's photoshop (BTW one hell of a job Globe!!) job only adds to me feelings..

Even a HRE 540 would look SWEET on the new Z car!

TXStyle - I don't approve of all high priced wheels...many of the ghetto-fabulous wheels are high priced but they're just POS wheels with a 1000000% mark up...

Personally, I LOVE the Oettinger RZ's (and the 1-piece RE's) but they're a Audi/VW wheel...I wouldn't put them on a Z....

BUT, I do think a nice 5-spoke wheel would look good.

I also have a unnatural fetish for the Veilside/Andrew Racing "F" wheel...if they only had it 20"...hell, I'd be willing to settle for just 19's!

Here's your ride on VS/AR "F" wheels...plus it's lowered...a little...

"F" is my favorite radial mesh wheel

I don't know! I personally like the "5-spoke multi-piece look on sports cars. It gives them an aggressive yet sporty look. Any more suggestions???

While I love the C2 design, it just makes the new Z scream Porsche. I think the HRE 540 2SAVVY mentioned or the 535 would do the same.

I also LOVE the F's, but they do need to make them in at least 19 inch. It's a sports car design so 20's aren't too practical but 18's are just a bit small for a few cars.

Default Who is it by?

Who makes the 5 spoke you posted? How much are they and do they come in a 18 x 8.5?

That is the Oettinger RZ. I think it comes 18X8,18X9. I see it on a lot of Audi's and VW's. But I don't think it will fit a Lexus. I may be wrong....

No I think he is reffering to the Rays forged wheel. But unfortunately Victor, that is an original equipment wheel made for the new 350Z!
