Lets update this thread.... After 1 month and a few weeks finally the wheels arrive... they take more time to arrive than was expected... making the long story short.. yesterday finally i pick up the wheels

Now this Saturday im going to install those babys and give to my Z a good wash and some wax to make it look like new! well they still look like new hahaha but you guys know what i mean

BTW on the rear im going to install a 15mm hub centric spacer cause the rear wheels offset suppose to come in +12 and they arrive in +22 cause the dealer in USA dont have it in that offset (+12) and if i want them in +12 i have to wait another 5-6 weeks in a special order from Japan... So I said forget about it give me the wheels and order those spacers

... the Shop here in PR are going to provide me the rear spacers for free to resolve me the issue.

Thanks a lot for the comments guys! I really appreciated

after a long waiting and some issues with the shop the wheels finally arrive... This weekend I have a lot of "working" on the Z

Installed pics very very soon

carlitos_370z · 06-25-2015, 08:14 AM

Well guys here I leave you another detailed pics... more than I see of this wheel more I love them... every detail on the wheels looks soo perfect... even in the damn boxes hahahah!! check it out

The presentation before you open the box kill me

jp by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

then you find another cover where they put the Gram Lights spoke decal... and of course im going to installed... They are red and i think it woul be a nice touch and are going to make a very good contrast with my red side mirrors and my Akebono calipers

image (1) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

behind that cover you find that beautiful wheel... and here is when I start

and finally when you look inside the wheel you found this stickers of authenticity, test that they did to the wheel and the specs...

image (4) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

I sound like i never buy quality wheels (non replica) in my live... I know hahaha! but the question is yes... In the past I already bought quality (non replica wheels) my other cars....But the quality of the Rays Wheels at the moment i the best that I ever seen!

carlitos_370z · 06-25-2015, 11:40 AM

another upgrade to my thread... Today I ordered the Z1 Hub Centric bolt-on 20mm wheel spacers for the rear wheels

carlitos_370z · 06-30-2015, 08:01 AM

Well guys finally last weekend I install the wheels

After a long wait and some headache with the shop... finally they are on the car... Here are the pics

My Saturday start with a trip to a shop to install the tires and get them balanced.

Then... the installation of the wheels into the Z

gl (2) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

After install the wheels... i have to reset the TPMS and decide to take the Z for the first run to see if everything was ok

gl(5) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

After run the car and check that everything was ok... its time for his bath

gl (4) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

Well... thats all for the Saturday project hahahha!! And I decide to continue the project on Sunday... I give a good wax and finally i can take some pics!

In this pic you can see how the front wheels/tires look... I love how aggressive looks when you see the car for the front

image (6) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

Thats all for now guys... I really love how the car feels with the 18"wheels... They looks great... Of course in 19" the car maybe looks better... but to be honest I love how they looks now and how the handling was improved. Later in the day im going to post some pics of the Z1 Motorsports 20mm Bolt-on spacers that arrive Yesterday and how they look installed
