I like the new bumper and sport rims, that's why I ordered one

Totally Agree!

Funny, as my rims get almost as many compliments as my interior (persimmon).

Your first comment made me
Your 2nd comment is so true as I have received great comments about my rims, got the sport rims though, but they've been bashed on here as well.

What color and which dealer?
The Z hasn't been bashed so much as people having differing opinions. A fanboi would call someone else not agreeing with a subjective opinion a bash.
What has been criticized and rightfully so is that the Z had the most subtle refresh compared to other cars yet has the second highest price hikes after the BMW 1/3 series and camaro SS. Mustang has made dramatic changes with a very low increases over the last 4 years. So has hyundai genesis coupe. Mazda Rx-8, mitsubishi evo and subaru wrx have only had mild changes with mild price hikes to match.
Not comparing the cars as performers... But what we got as a refresh package by price and features. New shocks, front fascia and mild bump in quality in the lower cockpit doesn't quite ring as an "epic refresh". Just like the gencoupe, the front end is hit or miss... And even over there they don't seem to be as offended by differing opinions as here. In the end, we love the Z and we still think the Z is a great car. Some won't agree which way the Z is going. I'm not a proponent of catering to the U.S. soft azzes when europe,middle east and asia seem to be happy with the Z34. We're the only country with Z issues and bullying nissan into selling out due to our corporate influence in the global market through mass negative publicity. We already have mustangs and bimmers. We don't need the Z to be like them.

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 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.
