Would these wheels look good on a black coupe 03?

Having trouble finding wheels that are a low offset...these are 20mm...I for sure want the 5 spoke design...id really like some 350z anniversary wheels but no luck...

I think they would look good since the car is black too but i dunno ...

Avoid them if you can,

IMO, Just put a little extra in 1 time and get a proper set, if your not looking to do 20's do a set of 19's but 18's with low pro's (im assuming youll be doing low pro's) and 8" wheels non staggered just doesint work good for our cars.

If you like the 5 spoke look, take a look at Axis Shines ... If you look @ my albums youll see i used to have them great looking wheels, its the silver g35.

Get them in 19x9 front and 19x10 rear and your set ! Youll get a proper flush and the offset get +15 front +20 rear.

those 18x8's all around avoid them !!!!!

I like those axis shines but i dont wanna go above $600....and I wanna use the tires I still have on the car thats why i wanna stick with 18's ...I wish I could afford some 19's or 20's but then i would need the tires too


any recommendations for some 18's around $600 that is like a 5 spoke design?

thanks

Have you checked the marketplace?

Put it this way, for 600 dollars your replacing OEM rays with wheels that will give you at least a 10-15 pound gain in weight, less reliability and honestly, just a worse looking wheel.

Save up your money and buy proper wheels in a few months.

Varrstoen come in nice offsets for coupes and cheap, that about the only cheap wheels I would go with, there are a few other brands that are less expensive but offset and width is everything, don't just buy wheels because you like the initial look of them. I waited a year until I got my specific wheel.

Other wheels that are not expensive with ok offset are Piaa super rozas and a few TSW wheels.

I dont have the rays wheels..I have the 18" sport wheels.....the tires are 245/4518 in rear and 225/40 18 in front...whatever they are supposed to be...

they dont have to be staggered...just want a different look...all the coupes around here have the same stock wheels.

so what offset am i looking for around +20 right?

and any links to products would be awesome!!

I have 18x8 with 20 offset in the front of my coupe. Works great in front. I have a 235/45-18 tire on it. I have 9 1/2" wide in the rear with 275/40-18, 20 offset. The 8" will work in the rear, but not sure about the look. Your 245 tire will fit. Looks like fitment is not a problem. If you like the look and price, go for it. Just remember, wheels can drastically change the look of the car. You shouldn't settle just because of a good price.

Not to sound like a jerk, but either wait awhile till you have a little more money/truly afford what you want to get. Overall, if you add cheap heavy wheels, you will spend thousands in NA (non-turbo) parts just to get your car back to being as fast as it was with the stock wheels. However, if you do want to go with cheaper wheels that look great and have pretty darn good quality, the new XXR wheels have low offsets, I believe as low as 0 and 15.
