Got pics of 3rd with stock Sting Rays, TE 5.5 SE 17"ers, and some 17" MB drifters...Which is the best look?

 

I like the middle picture

 

this.

 

i like the TE's looks wise (well... actually the SE silver, not the TE's finish) BUT they are as heavy as Rosie O'Donnell and only 7" wide, so i'd say go with the 5-spoke wheels. How wide are the MB's?


o and btw it's "saw blades" not "sting rays"

 

The 5.5 gen wheels look great.

 

yea they def look the best.. they're just heavy and gonna hurt one's performance

 

Performance wise I can see your point. But if looks are you goal, then yes they do the job. Is that your 3rd gen?

 

the pearl one, yea. I still kinda like these wheels too but they look better on a RWD car (concave spokes) (front wheel gap "reduced" with photoshop lol)

 

Those look decent. But again I am sure they are heavy. For some reason I love 3rd and 4th gens with 5.5 gen wheels.

 

the chrysler wheels were 7lb/corner lighter than the 5.5SE wheels

 

Really, I never realized that the 5.5 Gen wheels are so heavy.

 

i never weight them myself but i heard they were 27lb each.

 

id go with the sexy 5 spokes the 5.5 17s are nice but too heavy @ 28.3 lbs im sure the 5 spokers are 8-10 lbs lighter anyways

 

Second pic 5 spokers look the best out of the three in my opinion. They remind me of Cobra wheels. Do you have any angled pics of them?

 

this.

 

does anyone have any pics of a 3rd gen with rays or 350z ann wheels?

 

hadman has 350z ann wheels on his, check his sig.

 

somebody say cobra wheels?

 

you, sir, take too many pics.
any progress on that car, yet? last I heard, you were prepping the engine for install, and had some lego cars to play with, or something

 

er.... i bought a car cover and i'm covering it until february i won't have time to work on it between my coworker going for 3 weeks of training and a week of vacation, and my own training for a week and a half, and probably some snow. so come february i should have money for all the parts i need and can just push through until it's done.

 

Any particular requests? All these clear the bbk w/o any spacers.

I do have a set of cobras for sale.

 

the 5 spokes

 

I think their 7"'s wide as well but would have to find the paperwork or measure....

 

*Off Topic*Those Cobra's look pretty darn sweet on there, I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on your build. I can already see it repainted red rolling on those wheels.

 

Hope he doesn't mind me posting his sig, here is hadman's.



Sickkkkkkkkk!!!

 

Yeah, I'm finishing up.... got to do this....to start and drive the car! Got the engine installed and all that....wanna see some more pictures????? LOL ....I don't think I'm a picture taking maniac just wanted to record most of what I've modded on my car to give others ideas as well as gather more ideas from others! I've enjoyed this 4 yr project it's that time to start it up guys..... Oh yeah here's another side view!

 

i was waiting for jeff to post that infamous wheels picture

arent the 350z anniversary wheels heavyweights also?

i joined the cobra wheel club - ill have plenty of pics once my car isnt a gutted hovercraft anymore

 

Yes, those are heavy. But man they look nice. Coupe 18s, non Z 18s etc.. are all heavy.

I didn't know my pic was infamous. I won't post it anymore

 

Those look pretty sharp IMO

Here's some of my choices over the years











Also, CMax - what all have you done to your car? I saw you said you were aiming for more than 180whp

 

Hey James92SE, what kinda springs/strut setup are you running? The stance is really nice!!!! Is this car turbocharged, it looks like you have an intercooler in the front grill...Also what's that old car in the garage...an old Triump?

 

James.. I hate seeing your car, it makes me die for another maxi.

 

Intrax/Tokico. And as far as the turbo - kind of. I built all the piping (I/C piping, reverse y-pipe, downpipe, etc.) but never 100% finished running the oil lines, etc. and have since dismantled that car and put it back to stock and have all the piping/setup sitting in the attic to go on my blue VE.

The car in the garage is a '66 Jaguar E-type

 

5.5 rims don't do it on the 3rd gen. 350Zrims look much better.

 

Jeff, post the track editions! Those were my favs. Aren't they really light too?

Here are some 16"X7" BBS RX's (38 offset). 19lbs each. IMO they could use some some spacers to get them flush, but I have been happy with the look.

Front view:


Rear view:

 

17x8+30mm on those BBS's and i'd be

 

Yeah, as they sit now I have like 1mm clearance from the tire to the rear strut. I've been debating on getting some 10mm high quality bolt on spacers for them for the past year or so. Choices.

 

hey james where did you get your spoiler^^^

 

awesome thank you!

 

my old 17" rims and my old '89 SE 5spd.



new 18" FX35 rims

 

eh see if you can't just find some 16x8+30mm ones and swap the tires over... i figure putting spacers on wheels that will fit without them is just wasting space that could be used for wider wheels!
