well I would say yes, but... I don't know.. you should try them once the model more complete (with the frame)

did you get those rim from modelexpress ?

nope got them from a dub city impala. i have another 350z that is completed and they fit the same just the car sits a little higher. also do you think these rims will go with the nismo body kit??

don't think they will fit with the suspension, maby with heavy mods. They would look sweet if it would work though.

actually they fit directly on as the 350z has a metal rod type suspention.

i dont know............ they look a little fake if you know what i mean. the biggest rims i have ever seen on a 350z are 20's and these are 22's, pluse do you really think they wil go with the sas nismo body kit??

these are the same rims as the ones you have. also i might pick up the jada import mitsubishi eclipse it has some fairly small rims with it they say 19 inch but they are a tad bigger than ashomia 19's

I feel they're too big, too! Would be great on a bigger car, but on a compact one as the 350Z is, it makes it look undriveable, and toy-like... Size is not the most important: what's important is harmony...
... to my eyes, of course. The choice is yours.

yea i put these rims back in the box, i got a set of ashomia 19s wrapped in the 350z's tires, they look like mercedes rims but they will do untill i can find some ashomia 19s that will look good with this 350z.
