I think the red is fine if you go with it but go with a better wheel more JAP car oriented and i think you will be good. Like a Work wheel would pull that look off. As for suspension- I had the BC's on my 350z and they were great. Install is super easy (you will need to set pre-load in the rear-you can PM me for more info on that when you get them) I would recommend going with the following width and offset 20x9.5+15 (tire 255-30-20)and 20x11+10 (tire 305-25-20) I wouldnt worry too much about the camber/toe etc on the alignment, just have a good aligner bring it close to within spec so you wont tear through tires. With the above specs they will be aggressive but they wont rub if you dont dump the car (which i wouldnt recommend) See pic below- The wheels are WORK wheels like i recommended and are similar to the offset/tire combo i listed above- only difference is the rear is a 20x10.5+0 (4mm more aggressive then above)

In regard to a more Jap car oriented wheel, I am having difficulty defining that style.. I am getting a good deal from USWForged.com. There web site has a gallery with many styles. Which would you think fulfill the Jap style for the Z? Actually I would welcome many opinions on this topic. Thanks. |

Let me give you a run down on jap style wheels. Lightweight focused, simplicity and clean lines. I am not sure your prices you are willing to spend on wheels and if you care about weight? Below are some pics of Red Z's or red wheels. Hopefully you understand the difference. The real question to ask you is how do you feel when people take an american car and rice it out? I assume you and your american car buddies made fun of that person. Thats what we are trying to keep you away from doing but it would be just the opposite americanizing a Jap car, First pic is a Volk TE37 (knockoff but you get the point for style) 2nd pic is an OEM Nismo wheel 3rd pic- a legit Volk TE37sl with a red decal to tie in the red car ![]() 4th pic- HRE wheel (made in USA BUT VERY NICE WHEELS) on a Porsche with a similar body style as the Z so you can see my point. Simple lines, clean looking wheels. not too bulky of spokes etc.
