    A local guy is selling 5 of these rims, 2 with good tires, for cheap. Could someone photoshop these on this truck? Just remember, the steelies are 14's and the Moda's are 19's. I do plan on doing a 3/3 drop soon.

    Sorry i dunno how photoshop, but my friend had 19s with a 3/3 drop before and his truck didnt look that dropped.. Looked almost stock height because the rims lifted the truck back up.

    That might have to do with the tire height too....

    18's with 45 series/245 width is close to what the stock 16" tire height was.

    Now you'll be playing with a 19" wheel with probably a 35 series sidewall just to prevent it from lifting up....

    Eh, I like the simplicity of the Moda's but wish it was in 18" form, just so we can have more room to play around :)

    Skahide, I'll attempt to photoshop this soon.

    tires may be pricey for that weird size (19") also how cheap is cheap ? my vote is no unless they are priced 250 OR LESS.

    You have to say, $400 is a good price for such wheels. I actually am "FOR" this wheel lol.


    Skahide, I'll get it photoshopped in a lil bit.

    I say keep your steelies too, scuff/ sand them down and repaint them black. use them as your secondaries.


    Lol and your brakes will look small :D

    19's are going to be pretty big. I think you mentioned doing a 3/3 drop and with wheels that big, you would have a run some REALLY low profile tires to keep it low (30-35 series). Otherwise it might look stock with big wheels. 18's might be as big as you can go without considering cutting stuff for clearance too. Also those wheels are on a front wheel drive car and you will probably need 1" wheel spacers to get them to fit and clear your calipers. That's an easy $100-150 extra expense. Also keep in mind pushing the wheels out an extra inch may cause the wheels to hit the lip of the fenders and the bed if they won't hit already.
    If 350z wheels are what you want, hold off and wait for some to show up. It might take a little longer but at least you'll be getting what you want and not settling for something. Also, the wheels on my truck needed the centers to be honed to fit the front and rear hubs. That was an extra 100 bucks. I ran 1/4 spacers for almost a year and they did fine but for safety I finally got around to getting them honed. These are the wheels I wanted from the get go, to get look I wanted. I waited for few months before scoring on them.
    My brother bought some wheels off of a Lexus IS300 and ran them for a while and just recently found himself some wheels he's been wanting for a while now too, yup 350Z wheels. So they are out there if you keep looking. You might now him on here as Macawilial. :waytogo:

    Don't wait... those things wont last at that price! Just make sure they're the 5 spoke and not the 6. As you can see by some of the other craigslist posts, $250 is a kick ass deal compared to the 2 listed in Las Vegas for $700+ or the one my brother suggested north of San Diego for $450. Where you at anyways? Are these close for you?
