New Wheels
 
I just had a set of Nismo wheels installed today. I like them. Keeping my Rays sport in case I want a change as I like to mix it up.

Rears are perfect - wondering if I need a 10mm spacer on the front.

Anyone else running these?

Pics tomorrow. It's dark already!

I have nismo wheels and they fit perfect. No spacers needed... but bigger tires would be in order.

These are 285/30 and 245/30 respectively. I currently have 305/30 in the rear and about to put 265 or 275/35 or 40 up front. Flush wheels .... Nice fit than an extra half inch makes

Crappy Iphone pics until the weekend...

Amazing how light these wheels are, and combined with removing the 20MM spacers - it drives like a very different car.

Me likely!

Looks good man ! :tup:

Thx. I ordered the Stillen side skirts as another Xmas present to myself. I don't want the Nismo front or back, and the Nismo sides seemed off without the full package.

Hopefully I'll like them as the Stillen photos are not so good.

Now if i could just find rear spats I like to finish off the lower part of the bumper. Tried the S-Tune rears - but hated them. Waste of 500. :(

you need a spoiler.. :icon17:

Looks nice. I can't help but think about how those would look on a Solid Red Roadster with a spoiler. ;)

Very nice. I'm thinking those would make great summer wheels with a set of Yokohama AN-08s on 'em. (And the wish list grows again.)

Now you just need a Spoiler Solution spoiler, and one of those hamster in heat antennas. Of course that could just be me. ;)

Dropping off my Stillen sides for paint in a bit...still wondering if i will like them once on.

I hate making changes like this because there is always some detail that was not considered.

For example - i like the small splash guard that is on now. But once the stillen side is on - that corner will be a square with no flow. They should have designed a small flare or something to complete it in line with the splash guard.

Just my .03 - which is one more than .02.

great thing is - if i don't like - just swap it out and sell the sides!

I know what you mean. It took me a year and a half after I bought it to finally drill the holes and install the spoiler. Now it seems like it belongs there.

Put them on. Not hard...but had to use the Dremel quite a bit for fitment. One area just needed to be hollowed out.

And had to use my own 3M tape as the tape on it seemed old and dried out.

Pics tomorrow.

Here you go...not the best, but you get the idea. One thing...the Stillen sides collect so much dirt. With the rain it's like it pools there...

Looks nice.
