Where do you buy your wheels online?

Before you flame me, please know that I have been searching for a thread for 2 days now where there is a discussion about where you can find wheels online in various sizes, offsets, manufacturers.

It sounds simple enough, but all of the "wheel" websites want you to enter your vehicle to look at the wheels, but then it seem that they filter out alot of the larger width wheels. Either that, or they just don't have them listed on their site.

I am in the market for something similar to the Advan RGII in an 18X10 +45 for the rear and 18x9 or 9.5 +50 in the front. However, I am not willing to pay the price for the Advans. Is there any websites out there that allow you to look at various manufacturer's wheels by filtering them by size, bolt pattern, and a range for the offset?

This is the first time I've purchased wheels, and I guess you could say I don't know what I'm doing to be honest.

Rota Boost is a knockoff of RGII's. they come in 18x9 +30 and 18x10 +35, if that will work for you. they're around 1k/set

autornd.com (Rishie on the forum) gives discounts to forum members and has participated in the forum for numerous years. He has many happy customers on here. I never got wheels from him but spoke with him about 6 years ago then settled on some used wheels. Rishie was prompt and very helpful asnwering my questions.

I like those, the problem is the offset. It looks like I would have to roll my fenders and unfortunately, I didn't have it done before I painted my car a few months back. I'm a little nervous about the integrity of the paint on the edge of the fenders if I roll them now. It's too bad they don't have them in a +45mm offset.

Thanks guys! I appreciate your help with this. I still can't believe that there isn't a website out there that will allow you to search all manufacturers wheels with more criteria than simply a bolt pattern, and a wheel diameter.

Just enter 350z for most websites, that will actually show some useable options most times. I wouldn't worry about the paint for just a roll, the paint damage usually happens when attempting to pull the fender and create a flare.
