These wheels are only around 17 lbs compared to the stock Sports wheels that are 22 -23 lbs. Save a little on weight and maybe gas mileage.

Nice, very tastefully done.

Are those 18" wheels?

Nice! You've done VERY well with your set up!
The design and finish flows well with the silver color of your Z.

I would say get a small spacer for the rear, maybe 10mm. Other than that looks great.

What is the name of the Enkei wheel?? I don't see that design on their website or Tirerack and that emblem on the centercap doesn't look like Enkei.
