Thats them, they do look kinda hideous on the roadster. I think they look ok and the coupe, nothing to write home about although. If they would carried over the design from the 06-08 350 rims for the base, that would have been a major plus.

Yeah, i agree to a point, but go side by side on the 09-12 base rims. They are a huge increase in style. I think the 09-12 base wheels were the worst thing that could have been added to the Z. At least the new base rims have a high end fit and finish. I would be able to live with the current base rims till i got some aftermarkets. The previous rims. Hell no. I went sport pkg, mostly due to the brakes and i couldn't live with base rims at all.

I agree, they went way south when the design changed form the late 350's 06-08 to the 09-12's base.

I personally prefer the 2012 better.. I just like its shape and silhouette more 2013 is definitely a beauty though!

Only have 11,300 miles on my 2010 Nismo. Was offered a 2013 Nismo for my ride plus 10 grand. After test driving the 2013 i passed. Good deal, nice car, but like my current ride better.

cooltoy · 09-17-2012, 03:19 PM

Nizmo shouldn't be any different. Other then wheels and brakes colour. Is it?

shadoquad · 09-17-2012, 03:26 PM

The tweaks that people are arguing over are minor. Still looks great, always has looked great, opinions will vary.

As for the new base rims, I like them, but I liked the old base rims as well. I received many compliments on the old base 18 rays. I only got new rims because I wanted more tire all around. I don't see the '13 rims as some massive improvement. But they do look good.

I disagree with your opinion. I received many compliments on my '10 base rims. But to each their own.

Just my opinion... no need to stress the same point 2x back to back based on what I said.
