Yeah, you read it right.
A friend of mine has a set of 370Z Nismo's, 19x9 and 19x10's up for sale cheap.
Meanwhile I've got a hideous mess of a car that could use some new rims, instead of the crappy 17x8 Bullitt's on it now.
So I'm asking what you think of these:
On something so hideous as this:
(Shopped picture a friend did to show what it would look like with more tint)
Yes, I'm fully aware it looks like crap. The spoiler has since been deleted, the rims came with the car and will definitely be changed out, the tires were $30/each just to get it on the road, and the front will be receiving a tubular k-frame, tubular a-arms, and coilovers. Not to mention I'm not a solid axle stang, the rear end is a 04 Cobra IRS, dropped with unknown springs and Bilsteins.
My biggest concern with the Nismo's is performance. Not sure if I can get decent DR's for them, and they don't have the width and sidewall if I went with 17x10.5's. I'll have around 550 ft-lb, so I'd like to make use of it.
If they do seem like a horrible idea, any other suggestions for road wheels? I'd like a 17x10.5 out back to hook, and I'm pretty partial to Bullitt's or Saleen's, though some Enkei's have piqued my interest lately.
So there it is. Now go ahead and tear into the domestic guy.
