Default Black/dark rims...

Does anyone have aftermarket wheels on their car that are black/dark with a polished lip...
I searched through the forum but came up empty.
I'd really like to find a set in stock sizes that fit the car.

Your best bet is to look for 18" 5/112 bolt pattern all the way around... 7.5" - 8" wide front, 9.5" - 10" wide rear. You'll find alot of styles in that finish... The 19" rears are the ones you'll never find, unless they are custom...

Do an EBAY query for 5 X 112. this will bring back several vendors with wheels from $650 bucks all the way up. Several do free shipping for the mainland. I am currently looking at Evo wheels 18*8 and 19*10 black laced center with chrome or polished lip for $1,169. the fronts are 19 lbs and the rear are 23 lbs. Pay close attention to the composition of wheel when you order. Cast will weigh a lot more than forged and may effect performance of the vehicle.

Lastly, Boyd Billet Wheels will custom drill and offset your wheels at no extra charge so you could be creative and go with something that has a little "poke" for that ultimate euro look.

G/L!!

I found one by ACE...it would be 18x8.5 all the way around (would 8.5 fit the front??)


Another one by Voxx, I could do 18x8 and 19x8 (smaller than stock in the back )...

Good Photoshop job... I don't think 18x8.5" will work on the front, and definitely too narrow for the rear... IMO

Ideally, I would go with 18x8 front 18x10 rear... I might even experiment with 17" front...

Go to lesschwab.com - look at page two and page six (i think) page two has a black 350Z with some black rims w/ polished lip - though I didn't like their simplicity and they seemed to scream "ricer" to me... on page six is a Mercedes SLR sporting the Stern-ST1's which I'm about to put on my car - classy... They are a better name, and much cheaper!!! Through Les Schwab they run $220 for the fronts and $240 for the rears... Also look up the Stern ST-7's.

See if they'll do a lower chin lip and quarter panels for track use... I need a little bit more down force on the front and a bit more aero on the lower sides...
