Opinions on New Wheels
I'm not going staggered. As much as I want to, the hassle and price outweighs the look for me. I'll end up making a decision myself, just looking for some input. On a side note, anyone know about how much I could get for my 18" chrome stockers with good tires?
My G35:
Option 1: RUFF RACING R281
Option 2: Motegi Racing TOUGE
Option 3: TENZO Type-M Version 1
Option 4: XIX X05

Without tires:
RUFF RACING R281: $1488
Motegi Racing TOUGE: $1312
TENZO Type-M Version 1: $1532
XIX X05: $1520
Got any pics? It'd be nice to see them on a G35!

Well, you're probably not going to like my imput, but In my openion, id save up for some nicer quality wheels. Volks or work or iForged or idk theres lots of nice brands out there. For example, i bought my work VS-XX wheels used with 90% left on the toyo tires and in very good conditon for like 2300 shipped. So i mean by the time you spend money on tires and stuff your going to be fairly close to that price range.
I mean get the wheels you want, but when i first got my G i bought crappy wheels and they faded and got ugly so idk. Just a suggestion. Tenzos if i had to pick

With that in mind, I'm not saying you're a fanboy or fanatic, just stressing a point that just because a wheel company has made a name for themselves via whatever advertising necessary, doesn't mean they are the gods in wheel land. I worked for one of the largest wheel resellers in the US for a time, and in my experience, a wheel is a wheel and if something goes wrong, a warranty is a warranty.
Anyway, I hope you don't take offence to that, it was not intended that way.

Thank you for your opinion, truly, and I understand where you're coming from. However, I don't get why a lot of people seem to scream out Volks, Work, etc wheels when someone mentions getting new wheels for a G35. I admit that the build quality MAY be a bit better, but I've had off-brand wheels on several of my vehicles and never had any issues with them. Yet I've had brands such as Enkei where the machined lip looked like crap after a year. I'm out to get some nice black wheels to blend with the car. Not so much interested in a fanatic wheel ***** to come along and be like "ZOMG he has Volks! I just peed a little!"

Twarsop....Since we drive a quality vehicle it make since to buy wheels that are at least an upgrade to OE, that's why you'll see the names Works, Volks and IForged mentioned frequently. If you can't buy new rims, like the other member mentioned pickup some good used rims/tires here on Driver. You can even shop over on My350Z on their MARKETPLACE too. Know what size and offsets (19" wheels with mid 20s offsets) you want so you can make a decision before someone beats you to them. Getting your OE wheels chrome plated runs $100 per wheel, at least here in CA. Good Luck....

No offence taken man. i see where your coming from, idk i guess id just rather have real 3 piece rather than fake for around the same money, Used that is. But I mean i could care less what the name is, i just like the quality and the look the most. And if i ever decide to make them black instead of gold. i just take the center piece out and send that to get coated and it will look super clean. idk there is just more options i guess.
Im just making a little reccomendation, also the 350z marketplace has some realllly cheap wheels... check out these BBS wheels... Really nice. for 2200 shipped reg 1000 a wheel.

What I meant in the original post is that I have stock 18" wheels that are chrome. Once I get my new set, I'll be looking to sell them. Just curious if anyone has any ideas on how much I would be able to sell them for either here, ebay, craigslist, etc.
