Those look sharp and tend to get good reviews.

Nothing wrong w 5Zigen. Prob more $$$ than Forgestar though.

Yup, I like the concave contour better.

Also I saw you speaking of concave. The Forgestars come in a regular and a DEEP concave. Starting at 9.5 inches wide they go deep. I did 9 wide on the front which is reg then 11 wide rear which is deep.

hummmm... that is a gaping gap.

hahaha yah, a few spacers would help greatly.

ive still not decided wat to do with mine. it was a tad smaller than what i was hoping for so might just sell it.

I haven't put mine on yet for two reasons:
1) I don't have the o-rings. I know I can go out and get some, but I'm in no hurry.
2) It's def smaller than I thought it was going to be.

i was hoping to get a rounder (like the TWM big TypeR knob) size but oh well. it's no big deal.

i'll decide wat to do later.

HAHA!! I was looking at this exact shift knob too! You know what they say about great minds!

You gotta keep your MPH down. If you can do 60MPH you'll get the best MPG!

Trust me, put it on and drive it. I thought the same thing and I cant explain how good it feels once you are actually using it.

Might be a tad hard to find those wheels, I would ask around just to be sure.

Big improvement though

RC 370z · 12-20-2011, 10:21 PM

drove the z to work like always...i hate leaving it out in the open parking lot every day

p.s. does anybody else get excited when they see another z driving by them? maybe it just me and because there isn't that many z's in my area.(maybe 2 or 3 including mine)

I am glad they finally finished the scuffed section between Sunset and Lincoln, that section used to rattle my fillings. If you need more than a touch up I have a local mobile guy that does good work.

Nice video and for a good cause. Love the soundtrack, my all time favorite group.

There are some places have them, around $1500 for 19X9 and 19X10. Has to find out about the offset, but the link I posted couple posts above is from this forum, and it tells us the offset too, so I think it should be ok.

BTW, one side question, I saw some of you guys, MrAlchemy, MrOnzedge have those full-metal shift knob. How do you shift after you've parked your car outside for a while???

Do you need this???

DLSTR · 12-21-2011, 05:49 AM

Drove the Z here in Stuttgart yesterday in the snow(more than 2 inches) no problemo what so ever. Slush, powder/wet snow all good. Using good common sense for the conditions and letting the car work for you is the way to go, as others have posted. BLIZZAKS RULE!

I've got this one guys!

Two things:
1) Covercraft Sun Shade: Window Sun Shields
2) Microfiber cloth placed deftly upon shift knob.

'nuff said!
