Wheel recommendations................

[dkryan]

.....for my 2001 Infiniti I30.

I got rid of the OEM UAWs (ugly a$$ wheels) and replaced them with Moda R1s. Eight years later, they need to be replaced.

I want to stick with a 5-spoke wheel. (My nephew calls them "rims," I call them "wheels." Of course, he says, "dude, that's 'cause you're old!).

Quality 15-inch wheels seem to be difficult to find. Any suggestions? No, I do not want chrome. It's a maroon paint job (Infiniti calls it "ruby red." It looks maroon to me).

And no, I don't need "Xzibit" to show up on my doorstep to pimp my ride.

Do they have to be 15"? Tire Rack doesn't list anything smaller than 16" for your car. Personally, I like these OZ ones, but they're 6-spoke...

BTW, Tire Rack calls them 'wheels', too.

What about Busta Rymes. go to tirerack.com and use their rim selector where you can see how the rims look on you car.

I personally like OZ wheels from a quality/value standpoint...

Borbet are also very good, yet less expensive.

Well, I may know wheels versus rims, but clearly I cannot remember wheel size on a car I've owned for eight years. My nephew is right; I'm getting old!

Those ARE 16-inch wheels that are OEM spec'd for that car. It'd be interesting trying to mount a new set of 215/55/HR16 Bridgestones on new 15-inch wheels.
