Honestly the ride quality feels a bit smoother/more precise, however these rims actually felt lighter than the stock 18's while I was in the shop.

I agree....I'm not a big fan of the Black Edition rims. I'm curious, did you fill your new tires with normal air as to oppose to the nitrogen? My GT-R rides a bit harder than my 370. I can feel every crack in the road with my GT-R.

On a side note, I really want to see what my GT-R rims would look like on the Z. I would slap them on mine, but it's like 1400 miles away. Anyone here have the new GT-R gunmetal rims on their Z?

As someone mentioned, run flats can be one of the reason but you gotta understand, GT-R has a whole different suspension setup than the Z and it IS bumpier. When I first drove the GT-R (was all out at the track too), I INSTANTLY felt it was bumpier. I don't think nitrogen vs regular air has anything to do with that unless you overfilled it. Congrats on the GT-R

You won't be able to feel a difference, nitro is just a bigger molecule than air so it doesn't fluctuate as much due to weather conditions. So you have to fill up less.

Just an FYI, "air" is ~78% nitrogen, 21% with some other stuff making up the last ~1%.
