350z Rims On A V35?

[danny_tq]

Hey guys,

Thinking of getting 350z rims for my v35 coupe, either track or anniversary (most probably track since anniversary seem to be very hard to come by)

Decided to change the way my v35 looked, since there are so many stock silver v35s with stock 18's going around sydney!

Also going to paint my calipers red, and just waiting for my clear indicators!

Will it look good, or keep it stock?

cheers,

Danny

I just put the 2008 shadow chrome 350Z wheels on my V35....and it looks a treat! It really lifts the appearance of the whole car. I say go for it!! Didn't need any adjustments or spacers or anything. a direct swap!

what do your shadow chrome rims look like?

[Blitz_boy]

They look silvery. The standard 18's on the 350gt are actually shadow crome.

Track wheels are easier to find.

You said you weren't interested in NISMO's RAYS wheels. I think they look pretty good, are the stock Track sizes, and are lightweight forged to boot. While they're not as light as TE37s / CE28Ns they'll still be better than stock cast wheels.

guys

i am thinking of doing the same.

one question though, where are you disposing of your old rims?

is there a market for them? and how much is anyone getting for them?

ps, i am in perth, anyone want to buy a set of stock v35 18's in very good condition?

Advertise them here.

The Z33/V35 standard widths and offsets look near-perfect on R33s and S15s. If someone's looking for an OEM quality cast wheel that sits well in the well, they could do a lot worse.

^^^ agreed, the coupe V35 18s look much better than the Z Track wheels you are thinking of.

Here is a list of specs for V and Z wheels. The "Track" wheels you are refering to I believe are called Touring 18" V.1.

Mine are the called the Track 18" V.1

jonop2 - you shouldn't have much problems selling your coupe 35 wheels on this forum, they look good on sedans too.

Danny, I have a set of 18'' V.1 Tracks in gunmetal colour, as new unmarked with near new tyres, give me a bell if you are interested! I'm in Sydney. Regards GT350 [Geoff] Mob.0424242949

The "Track" wheels you are refering to I believe are called Touring 18" V.1.

Australian delivered Touring models only came with 17" wheels.

The 18" wheels on the US Touring came with 18's, and the Track came with Australia's "optional" RAYS wheels as standard.

Using US nomenclature would just confuse people.

So I did a crappy paint job of what the v35 may look like with 350z track wheels on....

I think it makes the car slightly more aggressive, but not too drastic of a change..

hmmmm...

Hi Mate,

That is really a "crap" PS job, Sorry for that, You should resize the 350z wheel, the second picture make the 350z wheels looks like in 19', which is not, I guess that is reason make it looks more aggressive.

Cheer

Just reviving an old post. I managed to get some 350z 18 track wheels fitted on my v35 before she goes to a beautiful home.
