What wheels would you get?
What wheels would you look for if you were my Kouki SR 240sx? I'd like a 17x9 because I will be using a practically new set of Potenza REO1R 235/45s for whatever wheels I get. I am over the black on black on black already and I want some contrast but I need to figure out what wheel to search for.
I obviously love Volks, BBS, Advans and other high end wheels of course and in my budget I CAN find some used ones without tires BUT it's a stretch to not only find a set in good shape, for a good price and the right size and offset.
I have thought of Enkei RPF1's in SBC or Bronze, I have also considered 5Zigen FN01RC's in Hyper black or Bronze.
My concern is that the bronze on black thing is overplayed? I like it but I don't know if it's something that's gonna wear out for me. I really do like the SBC but this car isn't only going to see perfect days, it will see rain and probably crap on the road and I bet SBC finish would look like DICK unless I was CONSTANTLY keeping up with it.
I am looking for something light, strong and not for a ton of money but something that will look and perform good. I didn't know if anyone here had ideas for a good under the radar quality wheel.
Here is a pic of the car as it sits (the EVO wheels have been sold):

Damn your car is(or was) murdered out.....
Your best choice is the Enkie RPF1's for the price, durability and lightness(under a grand and 15-16lbs/wheel).
Currently, my favorite wheel is the Wedsport TC105N...15lbs/wheel and used in the JGTC(actual racecar wheel). About $500-$550/wheel.

you could always go "OEM Nismo" style and get yourself a set of Rays LM GT4's:
search my350z.com and g35driver.com if you're interested - you might be able to find a set in the typical aggressive +22, +15, or +12 "Nissan" offsets...
