Need help picking new wheels

My car is a 98 z, I'm leaning towards borbet type t's mostly because they're only 165 a wheel, but I can spend up to 250 a wheel. It would help alot if some of you guys would post pics for me. Thanks!

The Torq Thrust IIs are nice but I think they're around $275 a piece. Not too much over your budget though.

HREs are definitely sweet but do they make a rim even close to that cheap? I don't think so...



The ZR-1 style SS rims are an obvious choice because they're really nice and they're not too expensive but everybody already has them.

I dunno, I guess save up a little more $$ and go with the TT IIs.

I like the looks of American Racing Wheels 200S or the Torque Thrust II. If I remember correctly there cost in the 200 to 250 dollers each range.

Good Luck!

i decided to get some enkei winsome's. To me it seemed torque thrust II's were everywhere, at least in austin and houston. Plus they look more like something that should be on a chevelle. I know the winsome were popular, but i think the craze for them ended about 2 years ago.

I'd go Z06 or TTII. You can find some pretty nice prices on chrome, polished, and silver finishes on the Z06 wheels at www.customwheelsmarket.com ... free shipping too

or the 18x9" Mille Miglia Evo5 ($209)

or the 18x9" Mille Miglia MM11-2 Sport's ($199)

or the 18x9 Milan wheels ($199)
