Cable Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Hey guys. Next week I think I might finally breakdown and buy some decent rims for the Z. I am torn between.... These: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=010&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=200106186474&rd=1&rd=1 These: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140116190871 Or these (15x6 front 15x8 rear $600 shipped): http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=WLD%2D90%2D57038&N=700+4294923105+4294793325+4294906461+4294906458+4294795102+115&autoview=sku All of them would be used with a 25.5-26" tall tire. Opinions on just these three rims? I am not interested in any other wheels or sizes other than what I have listed above. Please understand that I respect your opinions, but I have already narrowed down my selections. Thanks guys!!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zwitha383 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 A year or two ago some company was selling these for like $400 total. Maybe it was a group buy... hmm. I'll see if I can find it later. Anyway I always liked them but 7" wide isn't ideal: I'm guessing the Draglites are $159 a piece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=105251&highlight=rewinds I am not sure what you are trying to show me, but the auction link on the second page of that topic is the same as the link in my initial post. It brings up the same $600 set of 16x8 Rewinds, that's a bit different than $400. If I missed something, please tell me. Besides, I really don't like the look of 8" wide wheels up front. I plan to drag race the car in time, although the car is street driven, but I'd prefer if I didn't run a large front rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledphoot Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I love the classic look of the draglites for sure. Then you can pick up a used set of 3.5x15 and stick some 165/15 tires on them for raceday fronts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete280z Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I voted for the rewinds, but the RBs are nice too. The draglites look good on purposeful drag cars. On the street they make me think "1980's pro street Malibu" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledphoot Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 And whats wrong with a 1980's prostock Malibu??!!??!! LMAO... A canyon carver should look like one...a street/strip car shouldnt... IMHO.. But I love em all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete280z Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Er, I meant to say "pro street." Fixed that. No more posting before coffee. First things first. Yeah, if it's going to be a drag car it should look like one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chepito Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Weld Draglites because you know the people in town are going to know you have something under the hood when they see those rims on your car. I've always seen cars/trucks with muscle under the hood sporting those wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Weld Draglites because you know the people in town are going to know you have something under the hood when they see those rims on your car. I've always seen cars/trucks with muscle under the hood sporting those wheels. True, but my 4" cowl and my lopey cam normally gives it away that my little Z anything but stock. Regardless, I think I will be going with draglites anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Mine Motors Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 i got the 18x9.5 and 18x8.5 combo for $450 cash hey andy, what sportmax modle number rim did you get, and is that price for everyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Mine Motors Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 also, are you running spacers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bry593 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 before you go 8" wide, you should check my post on the 16x8 sportmax with zero offset. it describes interference areas as well as ideal backspacing. 15x7 rb's with -12 offset would fit perfectly on any Z or ZX. 15x8 with -12 would fit great on Z with coilover suspension. 15x8 zero offset will rub on the rear fenders during corners and bumps (if you run the typical 24.8ish dia tire).... my preference is RB's 15X7 with -12 offset.... there are some out there... check ebay $440.... personally, i think drag lites have dated styling.... and the rewinds just don't look right in the 16" size...
