My new Z, White Pearl from WI
I've been checking out this forum for the past year and finally decided to pull the trigger... Reading other reviews here, majority agrees that the sport trim is best for those who want to mod it. So I purchased a 2016 370Z sport back in February...there was a black Nismo next to this car at the dealer, but it was automatic and didn't fit my plans. It took 5 months with body work, exhaust, custom headlights, drl, wheels, suspension, and lots of testing (Tein EDFC was a pain in the *** due to generic instructions, half in Japanese).
When I drove home, lots of heads turned...in my town there's only 3 Zs - a gray metallic base, a 14 Nismo, and my Z. I also have a blue STI limited edition, both drive very differently, but I enjoy the Z a lot more. Next year - Fast Intention twin turbo! Enjoy the pics! Oh one more thing... I plan on selling my VF1 fenders, full carbon fiber, practically brand new. I tried a test fit with the right fender, but it definitely requires more work from a professional body shop. I simply don't have the knowledge, tools/resources and time to make it fit. I will post images of these fenders when I get a chance. |

Forgestar F14 in gloss gunmetal. The rears are super deep concave, front is standard concave (20x11 rear and 20x9.5 front). Big shout out to Jason from getyourwheels.com - he was patient and answered all my questions, was originally going to buy the Rohana RC7, super deep concave, but require spacers, which I didn't want.
These are custom built to order...it took about 3 months for mine - well worth it, kinda pricey $$ (double the price of Rohana wheels) but you get what you pay for. Just beware if you lower your car on these wheels, there is a possibility of rubbing in the front both sides. My Z was lowered about 1.25" and it scraped the inner rubber right by the frame where the fenders meet the front bumper. I have to keep an eye on it, for now it appears okay, not hitting metal. The rubbing from the wheels finally shaved off enough and created oval holes about 1" in length on both sides, not a big issue, and this only happens when making turns. |
