...why would anyone want anything else?

They are so perfect for the Z.

...and I think I'm falling in love with white too

...maybe a tiny part of me just wishes they did them in 20's...





...and I like the Nissan front mudspats too - they suit the styling of the sill - they aren't on this car (never liked them on the 350Z). Maybe I'll start a front mudspat thread.

Its not so much the wheels that im not crazy about... but i dont think the fitment is aggressive enough for the 370...

those are nice rims, but aftermarket rims are meant to reflect your own taste and make ur car unique and not common as all other Z's with stock rims


pulling a micheal jackson on the colours....eh.............lol

sorry if it was a corny joke.....

I like the rims, they look pretty good. Would like a little less wheel well visibility, but oh well.

Less wheel visibility?

A little less wheel well?? Any less and the tires would be rubbing the fender! It looks just right to me as it is and any lower it wouldnt look right. I also agree with the first post. These 19" rays look sweet on the Z. Now the engine bay is where I am spending my money. Twin Turbo Baby!!

I think he's referring to the offsets, not the ride height. i.e., the wheels would look better if they were pushed out by about 10mm or so.
