If you have the blue Z, go for black rims (w/o a polished lip)

I just dig that look.

not a big fan of any of them...just not my style, but if I had to pick the GT-7 and LS 5f are the nicest looking in my opinion.

I'm also looking at Jlines.. .waiting for Arnold to email me back prices. I prefer these two to all the DPE's I've posted:

Seems as if Jlines, DPE, and iforged only offer 2 piece wheels in a 19x8 setting... I want 19x9, so I have to go with 3 piece.

6RL3 (3 piece)


10RL3 (3 piece)


color, something similar to that titanium asphalt color.

I also am looking at the Volk GTS in mercury silver... but we'll see... the Jlines are my first choice, but I would be paying about 1.5k total more then the Volks.

This is Kahrupt's CL on J-Lines 19x8










I personally like the look of HRE and Iforged on a 350z

I got some 19x10 Iforged in 2pc. There is no difference between 2pc and 3pc. The only thing is that 3pc go up by .5 sizes and 2pc go up by full sizes. I say go with 2pc and save yourself some money

I'm pretty sure I can't do the 2 piece in 19x9 in the front....

I dont think skimping cash wise is on the menu for this car considering the level of modification being done

I like the 10RL3.
