Chrome Wheels For 370Z

Whitey#1

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

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.

Wow that's disrespectful. That's y I've been warned then banned on here.
You guys are so self righteous... meanwhile you don't even know import history.
You say DONT turn this car into a RICER?"
Its the ricer culture that brought you carbon fiber and that fish mouth grille the 370z has that you love so much. Its the ricer culture that makes people want to buy aftermarket parts and go halfway with the modding culture.
All that "RICER" STUFF IS WHAT THE JAPANESE DO TO MOD THERE CARS.
HAVE SOME RESPECT. THEY DON'T HAVE TO SELL US Z'S IN THE 1ST PLACE.
Granted. Whitey is not much of a driving enthusiast. But he likes the car.
And its his money.
I personally wouldn't be worried about chrome rims as much as maximizing performance but you have a lot of nerve.
This heritage cars heritage is carbon fiber diffusers and spoilers. 2inch drops super wide tires and gutted out interiors to have the highest tech super car computers managing every single aspect of electronic? Motor and tranny function.

Who are you? This forum is filled with so many snobs and wannabe's its disgusting.
This 370z gets called the best sports car on the planet by C/D and every BMW, AUDI, MINI COOPER AND CORVETTE SNOB CONVERTS, COMES IN HERE AND STARTS INSULTING EVO, SILVIA, RX7, SUPRA AND WRX n PREVIOUS Z DRIVERS.
Its us cheap import modders that are the enthusiasts in the 1st place.
Not u guys buying everything on car and drivers list just cuz its the newest trend.
Stay with your German cars if you gonna be like that.
Show some love and wisdom. A lot of you that do this are older men.
ACT LIKE IT!

ok let me just point out one thing here. there are tuners and there are ricers and those two groups are completely different and so are their mods. I will support my opinion with some pictures now


if you would scroll down you will see some great examples of riced out cars.


look at that body kit. does he really need that much down force??? i think he doesss when his taking turns at 100-120mph on the race track competing with Ferraris and porches

when the car looks better at its stock stage then you know that your a ricer


and here is the way a riced out engine looks




NOW im going to show some pics of tuner cars



here is a pic of a tuner engine



there is a big difference between this two groups and i would hate to see the 370z fall into the first group because it clearly falls in the second.

^ yup or save yourself the trouble/money of making the car look bad with chrome wheels and get something nice

oh oh

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?

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?

Mike

Whitey#1

bumping......hoping to get a response to the $2300 cost versus the $1698.

oh yea that. Sounds like the dealer is adding a little $$. Call him on it if you don't think its fair.

i got him down to $1,906. that includes taxes and shipping. somebody said he cut me a deal there. he probably just gave me the price he should have given me in the first place.
