wow, this thread exploded

different ppl = different tastes

Don't try to change someone else style to what you want.....just let them be !!!

haha this isnt exploding at all. Relax.

I like everyone here, but just be willing to listen to what others have to say. I'm not going to tell you not to do something, ever. That's stupid, I have no control over what you do.

I will disagree with you though, all day long if I want to.

Your car, your choice, your lifestyle. Just don't post it on the internet and expect people not to speak their mind.

My apologies if you have been offended, not my intent. I won't apologize for my opinion though.

I am giving you advice. My advice is: There are about 2,000 better wheels that you probably will like even more than that one which you should at least consider. The Konigs are weak. They will bend if you hit a pot hole. The Konigs are painted, they will chip if some stones come up and hit the paint. The Konigs are heavy, it will steal your horsepower, make your car feel lazier and decrease your gas mileage.

Those are all very objective things. Nothing to do with my liking or disliking them.

I'm not even going to argue with you though, I honestly don't care about what you do or don't do.

I too would NEVER put Konigs on my Z as I think the Z deserves much better. I only responded that way because it looked like there was general frowning on all dubs and ICE and wasnt specifically directed. Im all for tasteful well thought out mods on either side of the spectrum and a serious dose of constructive criticism when needed. Im speaking for myself on this one as Im sure not all agree with my sentiments.

If you are referring to me, I entirely agree.

I like show cars too, in fact I go to shows like SEMA to check out the show cars, but they will never be as sexy as the exposed welds or the carefully sculpted dry carbon aero components on a race car.

I feel like I'm starting to come off as a mean guy because on some threads it seems I don't even like the Z and others I'm just criticizing people for what they want. Lets set the record straight. I love the new and old Z. What I don't love are fanboys who blindly claim things without any sort of factual proven information because in reality they don't know anything and dub-clad blinging street racers.

I don't try to put people down, I just tell you what I think.

Your apologies accepted:icon17:

It's ok, THANKS for your advice, that's what I want!!

Thanks to others ppl's advice too:tiphat:

Now: Please show me 2,000 better wheels that I probably will like...:rolleyes:

I do like these wheels but the lip???

Back to topic,

I'm going with

Volk GTS 19” rims in mercury

Kics Project R40 Neo Chro Lug Nuts

Nismo Headers If they Dyno well

Stillen G3 Intakes If they Dyno well

Nismo S tune exhaust If it Dynos well

Tein Suspension goodies

and maybe
Bride Gias Seats

and a
Rear diffuser

:ughdance::tup::ughdance:

Nismo exhaust, Nismo struts and springs.
There are probably some better choices out there coming up, but I'm being impatient and want these things in the next couple of weeks. Looks like Nismo parts are the only thing ready to purchase at the moment.

Anyone in So Cal area that can recommend a shop for Nismo parts and install at a good price??

Thanks :tup:

TerribleOne.. I like the way you think minus the full kit, I personally just like to keep it simple with just a front lip and rear diffuser of some sorts. Mesh 8's are sick any pics of them on a Z?, I've only seen them on bimmers.

Depends on how you look at it. The Z's motor basically comes maxed out from the factory and doesnt respond well to N/A mods you put onto it. If you're looking for power adders N/A isnt the way to go.
