Help me pick my new wheels!
*Mods Please Leave this thread here!* Thanks
Its been a year or so with the SSRs and I'm ready for a change. I'd like some input from the 5th Gen community on what you guys would like to see on my car. Here is what I'm looking for: 19-20" 35-40 offset no chrome. The rest is up to you. I'd like something fairly new, I've put some thought into the new Axis Hiros in gunmetal, but they are too common already. Even though its ricey, I wouldn't mind a staggered setup. I'm going to keep my current wheels...so the budget on this second setup isn't any more than $2500. So no Volk/HRE/iForged sorry guys. I'm open for all opinions, I'll look into each option. Thanks for your time.

Thanks guys for the quick replies! Below are a few I've been thinking about...
These in 19 or 20
HP Evos in 19x8.5/19x9.5
Axis Finish in 19x8.5/19x9.5 also get the centers powdercoated Grey Lustre
Or these Falken's 19x8.5

i love my HPR5s and so does everyone else who sees them. i just wish i would have gone with the 19s now. of course go with gunmetal with yours or get them custom like your SSR's.

I like the HP EVOS...Thinking of getting a set for the winter...I currently have the chrome stock 2004 SL wheels but don't want them to pit over the winter...The EVOS where my next choice before the chromies...Love the lip..

i got them from Big H (post #14). Great guy to deal with and had them in less than a week. I paid about $685 shipped for the wheels. 19s were not that much more but i didnt have the money at the time for the 19s.
the wheels do not look that small in person. cardomain just shrinks down the pictures so much.

I agree with the Racing Hart J8s and I'll add the Racing Hart CP-F Tune. I don't know if it comes in a fitment outside the 350Z yet but it's one of the sweetest wheels I've ever seen and absolutely no one else will have it.
