Schrute, if what you need is inexpensive daily driving tires, then the Hankook are great. If you need sticky, track-drivable tires then get one of the more expensive sets. Like RE11's or AD08s or NT05's. I'm on the NT05s and they are pretty good. SUCK in the cold, but then again, so do all performance summer tires.

I've also heard good things about the Hankooks, Schrute.

RCZ, even you Florida folk have been getting a little taste of the cold lately, eh?

Hey shrute! I'm glad to hear that the Z is beating the xterra in the snow so far! I did actually take my Z for a drive the other day while the roads were as clean as they have been in a few months so it wasn't too bad. I really don't know how you can deal without having the Titan around, I would go insane without mine. Hope everything is well and those rims and tires are going to be awesome! I will have to drive up in the spring and check out your car once you get em on.

I went to lunch with a work buddy in his Titan today, it was like old times haha.

Yeah hit me up for sure when you're up this way in your Z! What color is yours again? I think I'm going to follow your lead and get the Berk CBE - I need to get in on that group buy before it's over.

Nice wheels!! i think im set on going with the nismo wheels for my car as well. I love how your z is turning out. Ive had great experience with the Hancooks on my s2k and def would recommend them. One question, is it cheaper to go with slightly used nismo wheels than say, te37 or ce28s? Thanks!

Yeah looking for tires for daily driving. Thanks guys for the feedback on the Hankook's. I'll be ordering a set in the next few weeks.

RCZ, how do you like the Hotchkis sways? Trying to decide between those or Stillen.

Loving them. Depends on your setup. Both are great bars.

Thanks man! Yeah looking like I'll get the Hankooks for sure. It's crazy how much less expensive they are than other tires available in those sizes.

If you can find a set of Nismo wheels for sale and make the right deal it should be less than te37s or ce28s, but with the relatively few Nismos out there there's not too many for sale. My new set is only the third I've seen on here since I joined up. Motoextreme hooked me up with a great deal, if you're looking for a set I hope you also find a good deal.

The other rims you're looking at are both fantastic choices, you can't go wrong either way!

Whichever wheels you go with you can sell your sport package rims on here for sure, most seem to sell without too much trouble as long as the price is right.

Sorry schrute but I for some reason you were from northern Cali??
:crazy:

370zdub · 01-11-2010, 11:15 AM

The Titan's are so hard to get away from, they are a great truck..

My Z is black tho, I might start a journal sometime soon as my mods roll in. I have quit a bit of stuff on order other than the exhaust but I'm just waiting for it all to show up. I personally think that the Berk exhaust will be worth the wait and at the GB price why wouldn't you pick one up?

motoextreme · 01-16-2010, 01:14 AM

Glad they arrived well my friend. Just posted some pics of my ride, just about done. Rest of the parts are going on tomorrow and then its time to build my roadster.. That one will take a while though

schrute · 01-16-2010, 01:49 AM

^Just checked out your pics, looks amazing! Nice job man!

I haven't powdercoated the wheels yet, been too busy. Not in a big hurry but can't wait to get them done so they're ready to go when the weather changes.
