IF you want oem quality forged wheels AND you want to be a bit different, try scoring a set of the latest 350Z track editions from Rays. 18" front / 19" rears. I "think" they would fit the coupe just fine. These are bad arsed. I'd try to run them on my sedan but no way they would fit

 

 

they will fit the coupe easily. The track 350z wheels are also forged 18's and very light

 

you need large spacers

 

19" rear 18" front. Rears have 265-40-19s and the front 245-40-18.

shdowflare. Don't worry. I'm also an OEM wheel *****. I'm running the coupe 19s on my sedan.

 

The pics were taken in Augusta Pines, right off the main road. (Back of my neighborhood)

 

Those are not usually referred to as the track wheels, they are off the GT models and normally called the GT wheels. The track wheels in 18" I was referring to are these ones

 

Steve. Although your new wheels might look better to you, in terms of quality and weight, they are a downgrade vs the Rays forged oem 19s. It's not that your wheels are particularly bad, it's that you happened to have some very high quality oem wheels made by Rays. The same maker that offers the high end Volks.

 

That is the 2003 track edition. This is the 2006 track edition

You sure you're not confusing them with the non-forged versions that are 18" all around?

 

Jeff, go over to my350z and ask them what track wheels look like, and almost anyone will show you the 2003 style track wheels. Its been generally accepted that those are the "track" wheels and the 2006 track model wheels which also come on the 2006 grand touring and 2007 grand touring models are referred to as the "GT" wheels. I'm talking nomenclature here, not necessarily exact models. Just what the general consensus is. The other 18's you posted above are usually referred to as the 35th anniversary wheels because that is what they first appeared on, even though they now come on even the base models.

 

Whatever, you still got the sizes wrong

But in terms of comparision, these are what the updated track wheels would be. Considering they are both from Rays and both feature the track edition signature spoke indentations. You can plainly see the family lineage in the design.

 

how did I get the sizes wrong? The 2003 track wheels are 18x8+30F 18x8.5+33R?

 

That ain't the sizes for the track wheels I posted.

 

Jeff some guy put those 350z gt/track wheels you are reffering to on a sedan. I would do a search but I am too lazy maybe later when I get home.

 

Sorry if my wording was ambiguous, I was saying another option is the [traditionally accepted] track wheels are 18" and forged and light, not referring to the ones you posted
