Default Winter wheels & tires for your Z - Base 18"

SOLD!!
Winter snow tires on base model alloys for $950. This is less than half of what I paid, for the wheels & tires + mounting/balancing -- and they are only 1/3 worn.

You get a set of very nice-condition stock 370Z Base 18" wheels sizes front 18" x 8.0" with 43mm offset and rear: 18" x 9.0" with 15mm offset. There is NO curb rash on either of the front wheels, but 2 small spots on one rear and one on the other. Tried to take pictures, these are very small and hard to see. Wheels in very good condition, WILL fit over sport brakes. Includes tire pressure monitors (TPMS).

Winter tires are IMHO the best ones for the Z in deep snow -- Blizzak LM-60's sizes 225/50-18 front and 245/45-18 rear; Used for 2-1/2 winters, total of 8,500 miles (documented). Most of tread is left on these (see photo, assuming I can get them attached). These snows are the cat's meow with the Z, make it quite nice in the snow, especially if you have the sport LSD.

Mfgr info: The Blizzak LM-60 is Bridgestone's Performance Winter / Snow tire developed for the drivers of sports cars, sporty coupes and luxurious performance sedans that are looking for winter driving traction on dry, wet and snow-covered roads. The Blizzak LM-60 is designed to combine the basic tread design of the Blizzak WS60 with a high-silica tread compound to blend high-speed durability and dry-road cold weather handling with snow traction.

Since the current Multicell tread compounds used on Blizzak winter / snow tires are not designed to support H-speed ratings, the Blizzak LM-60 uses a high silica content winter / snow tread compound molded into a directional tread design that features independent tread blocks with 3-D zigzag sipes to disperse water away from the tire's contact patch, further enhancing grip. The combination provides hydroplaning resistance and greater driving and braking force on snow-covered roads.

Featuring Bridgestone's UNI-T Technology, the Blizzak LM-60's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon to provide the desired high-speed durability and ride characteristics.

Blizzak LM-60 winter / snow tires meet the industry's severe snow service requirements.

Prefer local pickup in CT or can deliver to a reasonable distance from southern Connecticut. Shipping will be expensive and a pain in the butt, so I'd prefer local sale.

If interested, I also have a set of the stock summer tires for these wheels with only 2,000 miles on them.

Just discovered why so many people use the OEM base wheels for their track wheels.

I was trying to estimate shipping weights & discovered the front wheels only are 21 pounds each and the rear wheels are 24.5 pounds each. That's a lot lighter than my Ray's sport package 19" wheels!

I'd be willing to sweeten the pot with a fresh (2,000 miles) set of OEM Yokohama tires for track days on these wheels, along with the snow tires that are mounted on them, for no additional money.

Bingo! 19"s look cool on the street but your not going to be lighter then the factory 18".

Sorry to thread jack but it might also help your sale!
