ok guys, new wheels and tires installed. i know its not everyone cup of tea, but i really dont care ha. i got a really good deal from lou at amplified motorsport. love dealing with them over there, they are all very helpfull. obviously these are gold ssr type f's . standard 370z fitment (19x9.5 +22F 19x10.5 +15R for the newbies) tires are nitto nt-05. i lowered it a bit more but i think i want it a bit lower, although the tires rub on big dips or bumps on the freeway. i wasnt going to go with this setup but i couldnt pass up the deal. i was going to pick up some te's but didnt work out. onto the pix. if you have any questions or comment (bad or good) feel free

more pix in the original (first post)

Hmm, I like the more subtle gold color.....not bad!

Not a fan of the headlights still though 8P. Flip flop, and put tint on the back, leave the front alone. Or get the interiors painted on them.

^^ thank you for the input. i know everyone has different taste and thank god cuz all of our cars would look the same if we didnt. i want to tint the tails little bit but i keep putting it on the back burner. i love my headlights though, that wont change haha. thank you again

You prefer the headlights like that, even over having the housings painted black?

I definitely think with the way you are you need to do the tails and get it over with heh.

the housing is painted, the glass(or clear plastic) isnt tinted. i took the lights apart and painted the chrome black. you thought i tinted the headlights? or am i missing something. maybe i just misunderstood

Correct, it looked to me like you tinted the lens, not painted the housings.

Well, in that case.........game on.

very nice set up. one of the cleanest black 370z in this forum imo. im glad you chose the ssr wheels even tho the te's are sexy, i think the ssr brings a different look/taste to this forum.

keep it up.

Clouseau · 05-08-2010, 07:56 AM

Well done. This Z is really awesome.
