Be careful of aftermarket HEAVY China made wheels. Your stock wheels are light.

You might want to consider getting your stocks ones chromed. Likely will be cheaper than buying other wheels and you know you have a quality wheel to start with.

We offer them. Unless you're a racer you won't notice the small 2-3 lb weight difference. We actually even have racers who run our wheels on the west coast.

The previous owner of my Z had the stockers chromed. I like them:
