350z rims on a s14?

[Maeda]

ok 17 inches 225 up front 235 in the back
5 lugs and nissan stamped on every one whats there not to like?

sounds like they clear z brake upgrades too, so what is stopping me from upgrading to these right now?

are there any offset problems? o.O

just because you think they're ugly isnt a reason btw...

im flame prepped... fire a way!

edit: 50 sidewall too

[DSC]

Where do you plan to get them? Unless your really lucky or like throwing money away, i'd think they're hard to come by.

[Maeda]

for sake of arguement lets just say im lucky...

35mm offset sound about right to you guys?

ill be putting enough power to warrant such wide wheels...

its NOT for the looks =p otherwise id get advan model 5s =D or atleast shameless copies of them...

[nismoflip]

does it really fit?

GET THEM AND GIVE THEM TOO ME!!! yes they will fit fine go for it. I actually want the G35 18 inchers. damn they are sexy!

[DuffMan]

I'm sure there are plenty of 350Z owners out there who want to personalize their wheels so I don't think getting them would too difficult.

[AKADriver]

There's a set of the base model 17's on eBay right now. 7 spokes with little squares on the spokes. Not my thing, but... anyway.

Not too sure of the offset, it looks high... you might try asking around some 350Z forums.

This is perfect! The people who mod their Z cars can just sell us their wheels. Aftermarket upgrades all around!

[Jeff240sx]

What's stopping your? The track model Z33 rims are $2,800 on average from ebay.

yeah that was my original thought. saw a G35c and a 350z side by side and the Gwins in all aspects! the auto G35 was owning the 6speed Z in the 1/4 mile. :D although I think some of that was driver. and that black chrome finish on the coupe seels is dead sexy

[Maeda]

i got um =D

yah i like the G35 rims but... 18 inches????

thats a bit too big for me....

[deltrr]

*WARNING IM JOKING*


So what are you some kinda racist now?


*WARNING I WAS JOKING*

hehe makes sense it would look better with the center white on a white car.... unless you had the all black roof look. now that would be hot! black roof black rims on a white car?!?! sick man very sick!

Haha! Never thought about it... Won't actually do it though. I adore my car the way it is. I'd love a 180sx Kouki front bumper and skirts, but that's only if I'm really lucky.

Hope you get those SSR's! They are sooo nice. Even in black! ;)






as for the 350z wheels...
I find them a little bland. But if they fit and you like them, get them!:)

[octane103]

PLEASE!! I NEED to see pictures. can't.................sleep.

can't...........take it...............much.........................long er!

*GASP*

[Jim96SC2]

DAYUM! Those SSR's are sweet!

[deltrr]

List price on the track wheels (18x8 and 18x8.5) are 1430.21 each Hahaha, thats $5720.48 for a set of four.


crazy.

[Maeda]

i didnt bother with the track model rims... too big, and too pricey...

i picked up a set of the 17's with tires for 700

:D :D :D :D :D :D

[zilviabsessed]

Pictures PLEASE!!!!!

[deltrr]

ill bet they are hot :P

haha just one of those random thoughts that flew through my head. the black roof on a "insert body color of choice" look has been floating through my head since I'm hopefully getting a paintjob soon. just cant pick a body color. I like all black too much lol.

I'll look into the SSRs just for kicks eventually, I may rebuild the motor soon so I wont have the loot to do anytime soon. but if I dont need to rebuild the motor then well we'll see ;) I had hoped to have new rims on before convention.. I need parts shops that finance lol

as for the original poster... (wheres the smiely when we need it) This Thread is WORTHLESS without PICS!!

[Maeda]

I KNOW! Ill get um to you guys soon =p

edit: originally the post was to figure out why nobodies done this before... and then half way through i decided to pick up a set =P

[Nismos14]

cool hook up those pics ;):D :cool:

[Phlip]

No one has done it before mostly because of price and availability...
As I type this, I seem to recall availability being a cop-out, I have seen 3 cars RUINED with aftermarket wheels... Brandon, if I see that blue one with the lexani 20s on it again, I'm asking where the 17s went, same goes for the silve G35 coupe I see in HPall the time...


Edit: forgot something...
No one will believe you have them until we see real pictures, photochops don't count and will lead to immediate castration.

[drift_newbie]

Yeah, I'm dying to see pics of this!!!!

-ben

[Maeda]

jesus be patient people, this weeknd hopefully i can borrow a digicame so i can prove to you that i bought the cheap 17 inchers... it was for the tire size not the looks o.O

[Nismos14]

does that mean its fugly :eek: :o

[Maeda]

yes! well.. im still making up my mind.. which is NOT a good sign... i think its because my car rides so freakishly high... but whatever

can't argue with more rubber on the road, and a better compound of rubber at that

[Nismos14]

just put'em on then get some eibachs and kyb'z :cool:

[240Stilo]

What are the tire sizes on them?

[Nismos14]

Originally posted by 240Stilo

[240Stilo]

Unless he got the bigger ones that come with 245 in the rear.;)

[Nismos14]

that would be the 18's an he's got the 17's

I've seen it before (black roof on a red s13)... I'm not too fond of it.
