thinking about a wheel change
I have an 02 z and I am thinking about changing my wheels to something better and lighter. Anyone have recommendations?

There aren't any wheels that are better AND lighter.

CCW's. If its your daily driver, it will be a challenge to keep clean though. But definetly great wheels.

CCW, hands down. Excellent customer service, excellent quality and incredible looks. I've owned 3 sets of CCWs over the last year and loved every set. Polished SP500s, Powdercoated black C10s and now polished Classics.

Forgeline or Fikse.
I've had CCW, BBS, and now Forgelines and there really is no comparison in quality.
Forgeline, Fikse may be quite a bit more but the quality of the wheels is amazing.

If you have the money to spend I'd say CCW.
Otherwise if you really want to stay with a lighter wheel keep what you have and just repaint them a different color.
