I can't decide which ones I want. Im not really a fan of the fake rivets along the outer edge but these are still sexy. Im really leaning towards the Indy 500 or the Stowe but Im still having a really hard time deciding.
Oh and if you can't tell, I think TSW's are my favorite wheels

So what do you guys think? I haven't been able to find any pics of SC's with TSW except 1 and the were chrome, so if any one has any pics I'd really appreciate it

Also, something should really be done with that wheels and tires fitment thread. It's almost 300 pages of just a giant convoluted mess of chaos. So can someone just answer this instead of telling me to go check that thread? How much of an offset do I need so that the wheels and tires sit perfectly flush with the body with 17x8 w/ 245/45/17 Front and 17x8 w/ 275/40/17 Rear? No camber or weird tire stretches, just "nice n' flush".
Thanks

not to be mean or rude but there are much better wheels out there then the option you gave, personally If I had a choice I wouldnt put any of them on my sc.

Sorry man good luck finding something you like.

im with this guy. there are better wheels for the price...but if this is the selection you like id go with mondellos which look like some variation of lxz wheels

Like what? These are the style that I like the most (5-6 spoke with a lip). To be honest, I care less about wheels but I've recently decided to switch to 17's instead of 18's (tires for 17's are MUCH cheaper and ride softer in our cars) and in all honesty, I was just gonna get set of oem 350z 17's since the 18" 350z have done just fine so far, but I figured what the hell, I've splurged on every other area of my car, why not splurge a little and get some decent wheels.

So by all means, if you think there's something else that I might like better, show me
But before you do, just know, that I can't stand XXR's and Works and I personally think that spending more that $400 on a set of wheels is absurd, but like I said, I figure what the hell

MattStarr

Oh ya, and one other thing. What's wrong with these wheels? What makes a wheels good or bad? Learn me

From that list i would say go for the Indy wheels. But, im looking for wheels too and im thinking about getting Lumarai Morro wheels. they are made by TSW but engeneered for lexus. Im torn between 17 and 18 though. Id love to see what these weeks look like on our cars in 17.

From what i know TSW make great wheels. Not sure how they compare with other brands but they are durable and made of aluminum so they are light as well.

only main negative outside of aesthetics is weight but who cares about that. i just didnt really like the design particularly but if the price is around there id say do it!!!!!!!!!


if you can get tsws cheap id say check out the vortex's

TSW wheels are fine for the price, I have the Jarama on my 3GS but CL is full of wheel wh*res!

If you dont like the fake bolts, then the Stowe looks good to me.

you would need around 10+ offset wheels to make them flush. maybe less

ruff racing makes some cheap wheels with lip and your spoke count.

No, what I meant was, normally I would never spend more than $400 on a set of wheels (paid $150 for the set of 350z wheels I currently have) but giving the fact that I have splurged on every other area of my car, I figured I might as well spend a little more than I normally would for some nicer wheels. All the wheels I listed, I can get for $135 each
I do really like the Vortex's, along with the rivage and montage but I also really like the look of lipped wheels which is why chose the wheels I did.

Those are actually the wheels that I want but they're just a little too expensive.

sorry man i didnt realize you were trying not to spend much money on the wheels, in that case they dont look bad at all for the price.

my vote would be the vairano's if i had to pick one .

And if your asking why I dont particularly like them its not that they are ugly or cheap or anything like that , its just if im going to buy aftermarket wheels I am the type of person that would want something that is going to turn a few heads or really add to the look of my car.

Im not rich either so I dont have high end wheels right now but I think if you look around , e-bay, craigslist etc... you can really find a nice set at an affrodable price, especially if u go used.

Anyways keep us posted on whichever way you go.
