Laughing aside, I wished they did buy Nismo models so I can buy those sweet Nismo wheels.

This is sweet, can't wait to see the finished product!
To OP, since you guys will be running on 18"s, I wonder what ride height you guys are going for?...

Any plans to compete in the Rolex GT in the future? I use to own an RX-8 and a fan of the Speedsource RX-8. Everytime I watch the Daytona race, I always wished they had a 370z or any Nissan running.

Looks excellent! I love the wheels you guys chose as well. Wish I hadnt bought my Wedssports prior to seeing what you found. Have you figured out wheel and tire sizes yet?

We think so too! We will be selling the Nissan Motorsport Volks, so when you sell your Wedssports, give us a call! As for sizes, Grand Am figured those out for us

. We will run 245/35 front and 275/35 rear on 18s.

Definitely gonna try to drag the club to Mid-Ohio for the race this year.

We'd love to have you! If you come out make sure to find our pit and we'll show the club around.

Minimum ride height for the Continental Sports Car Challenge is 3.5", so our projected ride height is 3.50001"

Competing in Rolex GT. SWEET! But, will you be using the Z or GTR?

I am also a former RX8 owner/SpeedSource fan.

Nice. I'll definitely go to next years Rolex @ Daytona if the Z's are there representing. I went this year and it was pretty cool. I watched the end from my parents house though.

I like everything but the wheels...

IMO I think a gloss/flat black would look better but just my

I rendered this based on the mock up.

I vote for black rims too.

I agree. I just used the color from their mock-up.

Mike@AMPerformance · 02-16-2011, 07:55 PM

Wow! That photoshop looks awesome! As for the wheels, they are a dark gray gunmetal kinda look. It'll work really well.

Man, we've gotta finish these things because they are going to look rad!

Not really feeling the design over the headlights, unless they can be deleted completely, but that probably isn't allowed (especially if you run the Rolex, lol). I'm all for blacking them out (and the tails, if allowed), but I just don't like the big lines coming off of them. I kind of like the color scheme, except for the rims.

Not sure how open they are for our feedback, but I figured I might as well share my opinion anyway.
