What color is your car? I would say go with either stock color, or gunmetal.

Those are 350z 18s...note the dimples between the spokes. Nothing special though, they are the same weight

Just clean them up and put them on. I don't see the obsession with painted wheels are.

In the 1/4 mile, it most certainly does. Smaller "gearing" (i.e. smaller diameter tires/rims) means quicker acceleration.

Why can't someone simply get rims that they like? There are many on here who have these rims, it's about one's own preference.

Everyone isn't for the 1/4 mile. Pointing out the wheel weight is one thing, but let the OP decide if the rims are too heavy for him.

1. where? or we're?
2. people need to pick mods THEY like without starting a thread seaking validation
3. if you do, dont get buttsore when people dont hump your leg like you want and instead say something you feel is negative
