Going to look at rims tomorrow, advice?

Ok everyone, I'm finally going to get myself some new rims for my ride! Being mostly a noob at buying wheels, what should I look at? Also, what offset would be best for the Solara, and what range of offset will fit? The wheels I'm looking at are coming off a 300zx and the guy doesn't know the offset (they came with the car). How could I measure that, and I have checked the 300zx forums. Stock, their cars run +42 so the wheels should be somewhere around there.

Thanks for the help and the tips are going to help my decision to get the wheels a ton, thanks! Also, a pic of the rims I'm looking at is below:

Katana GR7

Are they the axis wheels or g-games?? Also what size are the ones you are looking at? Remember, most people put a smaller offset on the rear on RWD cars to get a wider wheel.....

And NO MORE PHOTOSHOPPING FOR YOU!!!!

Oh boy... there are so many threads already started for wheels/sizes/offset, etc... even a couple "Sticky" threads so you won't have to use the Search! :roll:

As far as "what to look at" it's all a matter of preference and budget (a combination of the two, of course!) - good luck!

They're 18" Katana wheels, forgot to mention that. Thanks for the tip on the offset, I'll be sure to check that out when I look at them tomorrow. I also never saw on other threads on how to find the offset when people don't know it, so I thought someone could help me there too.

P.S. I stopped attempting to PS because it all looked like BS.

You can normally find the offset somewhere on the inner part of the wheel
