Just for a start.

Answer 2

I have used American Racing brand rims in the past and find their quality to be excellent. When you say "dealer", I don't know if you mean the Nissan dealer or a tire dealer. Car dealers are often expensive. Try an independant tire shop in your area that sells a lot of wheels--typically they will have many styles on hand for you to look at rather then just catalogs. Discount Tire is often a good choice if they are in your area.

Don't buy strictly on price, however. Low profile tires as are common in larger rim diameters don't protect the rim from impacts too well and damage such as bending the rim or breaking it beyond repair is common, so in the long run, spending a little more can save you money.

Answer 3

There is always Ebay, however I would prefer to go to a local tire shop and find out what they offer in the way of rims. As for a Brand that I like, I would have to go with Drifz Rims. They are nice rims for import tuners.

Answer 4

Ray's alloys are the stock NISMO 19" and 18" wheel Nissan Uses you might find sets of wheels on e-bay. RUF racing have very nice wheels. I would try" tirerack.com " and follow the link to wheels enter the information and car color and see what the wheels look like on a 350Z on there web site.

Answer 5

Of course the price will be high, purchasing from a dealerhsip. Go to Les Schwab, they have a good supply of rims, varying prices. Never purchase items or have repairs made at the dealership, it will always cost far more than your local mechanic and auto shops.
