hehe, i think 18s are too small, but to each his own. yea, i’ve heard of the overstock on the RG-Rs…i thought those were 19s though. And you can’t go wrong with any of your choices 🙂 TE’s and the RG-R probably have better offsets than the 18" nismos… edit: oh yea, if you want lightweight, you should look into CE28’s…those are supposedly lighter than TE’s. foudn some pics (these are 18s btw): ![http://mike.optionimports.com/joseph350z/06140022.jpg](http://mike.optionimports.com/joseph350z/06140022.jpg) ![http://mike.optionimports.com/joseph350z/06140023.jpg](http://mike.optionimports.com/joseph350z/06140023.jpg) ![http://mike.optionimports.com/joseph350z/06140017.jpg](http://mike.optionimports.com/joseph350z/06140017.jpg) ![http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/3774/dsc0259rev1smallfi7.jpg](http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/3774/dsc0259rev1smallfi7.jpg) ---

CE28s are great rims for the reasons you mentioned, you’re right! :R Problem is that they cost a grip! ☹ And believe it or not, but the Nismos have great offsets (+25 front, +23 rear). I’m still trying to sell my turbo kit for my Civic so I can put in an order… it looks like I’ll be going with the Nismos… but damned if the current price for 18 inch BBS RG-Rs isn’t tempting right now… ---

CE28s should cost about the same as TE37s…that’s why threw it onto the list. Hmm…i thought nismos has +30 offests…are you sure you’re not reading the available offsets for the 19" rims?

You’re right about the offset, it’s +25 front and +30 rear. I was thinking about the RG-Rs. Still, it’s flush enough for me from various photos, and they’re incredibly light. As for price on CE and TEs, well… I’m still looking. I’ll keep ya posted 😉 ---

trust me, 9.5+30 isn’t flush. I have 19x9.5+29 in the rear and i am wishing i had some gonads when i order them and got 19x9.5 +17 instead. ---

I have 19x9.5+29 in the rear and i am wishing i had some gonads when i order them and got 19x9.5 +17 instead. I said flush enough **for me**. 🙂 Put it this way… the offset of the Nismos isn’t a dealbreaker for me. And considering my future suspension plans, I also don’t want to deal with rubbing. You’re right, though… in that they aren’t truly flush. ---

ah, my bad 🙂 I remember someone posted a feeler for a set of 18" silver nismos on my350z… here’s the thread…maybe the price will be right too! 🙂 [http://www.my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=213675](http://www.my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=213675) ---

Holy cow! Good find, man! I posted and hopefully I’ll hear more about them. Used Nismos and in Toronto, to boot! Thanks for the heads up! :R ---

Ah, that guy is selling them with a new set of tires he mounted, too… I can’t afford that combo. If only I had gotten to him sooner, than he would have sold me those rims, bummer. Well, I’m pretty sure I’m going for the LMGT4s. I really like the BBS, but nothing seems to look as good (to me) on a Z than Nismos. Of course, if I spot a used set of TE37s (brand new they are WAY too much, I checked) somewhere, I’ll get those, instead. ---

but wouldn’t you need tires anyways? or you were planning to reuse your stock tires? bummer about the rims. I’m sure another set will show up 😃 I know there’s another fellow on my350z’s that’s selling a limited edition 19" black nismos, but it has crazy offsets that require fender work. Anyways, good luck with your search, if i find anything, i’ll let you know! ---

Anyways, good luck with your search, if i find anything, i’ll let you know! Oh, I definitely need tires! I wouldn’t be getting rims at all if it weren’t for the need for wider, better rubber. I should have mentioned, he bought a set of drag radials and wanted 1700 for them (that’s just the tires). Considering I can get a set of the tires I want (Toyo Proxes T1-R) for a lot less, I wasn’t going to bother. Anyhow, it’s not a big deal at the moment. I’m in no hurry, but I do like the idea of my car sporting those LMGT4 and a mild drop (courtesy of Hotchkis springs)… very aggressive stance, indeed 😃 [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/help-me-pick-some-rims-people/132294.md?page=1)
