but back on topic, congrats on the wheel situation working out. Can't wait to see em mounted

Yes pic's please.

While you're at it, you should just pick up an Aston Martin upgrade to go around the wheels

Man that Aston is sex, right up there with the F430.

^That pic is amazing. Rear fenders and rear quarter windows look like the Z. Or maybe it's the Z that looks like the Aston, hehe.

+1, can't wait to see the rims on the Z.

aston's lack the sheer passion of the top end italians but good lord they sound and look FAN-tastic. i rode in a db9 for a while earlier this year, what a glorious sound that car makes. aston's set the benchmark for automotive art imo, at least until the 458 italia comes out...

edit: forgot to post to the OP lol, i think those wheels will look pretty good on your Z, hopefully you'll be able to switch the center caps so they say "nissan" instead of "AM"?

I love Astons, the cars a pure hotness, You could give me a Lambo, or a Veyron and I'd drive it to an Aston Martin dealer and trade it in. I don't totally care for the look of the rims on the Z, but I think you should go for it and do it, without a doubt you'll be the only one with a set up like that.

Thanks guys. If I could get an Aston I'd try to get my hands on a Vanquish.
I love the DB9, not a huge fan of the DBS, or Vantage, but I felt the Vanquish was the most aggresive looking Aston to date, I wish it was still in production.

Personally I'd leave the Aston center cap in there. Its an upgrade, big time. Its not like it has a Chevy bowtie in the middle of it.

i've seen a vanquish in person and while it is an aggressive looking car and definitely rare, i still would rather have a DBS, i just love the new body styles more, with each new model the AM's just get more and more beautiful. having said all of that, if i could afford any AM, i'd have a highly modded GTR and be happy

Glad to hear that the bolt pattern is the same, but is the hub the same diameter?

Wow, can't believe I didn't consider this. I will have to look into it.

I'm quite interested to see how the rims look on the 370z, so anything that would prevent that would be a damn shame.

Call me crazy but I'd even consider mounting them and powdercoating them black..

HKYStormFront · 12-31-2009, 02:40 PM

yea i bet the hubs aren't the same, hopefully the Z's are smaller which would mean you would just need some hubcentric adapters to make it work. i would try to locate a high end wheel shop (maybe one that sells HRE's for example), they may know what you are looking at doing and if it will work

Yeah - I absolutely love the look of the Vanquish, but I have to admit it's a crap car compared to the DB9 DBS or the Vantage. It's still a holdover from the Ford days, and the chassis, transmission and interior are in the stone age compared to the new Astons.

I'd settle for a Vantage V12 Carbon Black. That there is a car.
