3000 for the sports package gives you
SRM, LSD, BBK, Spoiler and Rays wheels - pretty good value to me.

just buy the rims separately and buy tires online from ....well, google discount tires and u'll see

and if you want, sell the stock 19 rims on here to a member

well, really, i'm not that interested in all of that stuff thats included in the sports package. to me that $3,000 just isnt worth it. as we both said, i think it would be best to buy the 19" polished aluminum wheels and 19" Potenza tires separately then sell the stock wheels and tires.

then why did you buy a 370z? why didnt you just get a benz?

dont take this the wrong way but if someone buys a sports car they should treat it like a sports car and not turn it into a ricer or put chrome rims on it. to me ricer and chrome rims = same sht

you shouldve done some hw before buying a z. someone like you shouldnt be driving a z




i hate when people buy a car that has history and pride and turn it into crap. if you do that to the z i will hunt you down for everyone on this forum. dont bring down the reputation of the z plz :shakes head:

p.s. have you thought of spinners? why dont you get a set of spinners that way when you stop your rims keep spinning

the Sport Package gets the following:
Sport Brakes - dont see a need for this since it already has brakes. i am sure they will slow down/stop the car just fine.
SynchroRev Manual - i am getting the Automatic
Forged Allow Wheels - dont like them
Front & Rear Spoilers - to me spoilers make a car look somewhat "kidsy" or "teenie-boppish"

most people i've talked to think those polished aluminum/near-chrome wheels are very sharp and eye-catching. i have to agree.

you say someone like me shouldnt be driving a Z? sorry, i might have to disappoint you on that one. but i guess your entitled to your own opinion. if Nissan thought these things would ruin their Z line reputation they probably wouldnt have offered them up as options.

what about the VLSD?

RCZ 08-06-2009 01:17 PM

he doesn't need a limited slip....that car is never going to lose any sort of traction under power. lmao at your post btw...

Whitey, check out Vossenwheels.com tell me if you see anything you like.

Mike

Don't apologize, I didn't think you would.

Whitey#1 08-07-2009 06:00 PM

ok, my dealer found me a '09 Montery Blue/Gray 370Z. it does not have the sport package, so i am going to want to order the polished aluminum wheels that are listed in the back of the Nissan catalogue/brochure. therefore, of course, i will need to order the 19" tires separate too.

my question is.......does the dealer do this for me? once the wheels/tires arrive he takes the stock ones off and puts the new ones on? or is he going to tell me i am on my own with this?

Mike

there's a service fee called "mounting and balancing"

wont be driven to loose traction. im still not understanding why would someone buy a 370z and put chrome rims on it.

by the way whitey do you like the rims on the pick above? their 28's im sure you can fit them under the z if you lift it a little bit :tup:

Whitey#1 08-14-2009 02:16 PM

my dealer told me these chrome (polished aluminum) wheels would run me $2,300. this thread showed them for $1,700.

whats up with this?

would the 18" stock tires fit these 19" polished aluminum/chrome wheels?

Mike

Oh yea no problem. You'll need some tools though to modify the stock 18" wheels though....

Be sure to let the caulking set up before you put air in the tires.... ;P
