now put on some tires and mount them 
can't wait to see the finished product!!!!
and yes that's is a good thing you did inspect them before doing anything to them....that's always one of my biggest concerns about buying second hand wheels. they always tell you that they are ok and have no bends....until you find it out first hand
. bought a set of Volk GT-M on ebay for my Supra, had new tires mounted and about 4 weeks after i installed them on my car i had a flat rear tire . luckily it was just the barcode sticker on the tires which caused the tire to leak air. it's really a stupid way to mount a bar code.....on the sidewall of the tire...what where they thinking?!?!?!?

Wow for real who ever mounted them was careless. I put these wheels flat on my garage floor and pressed them down to see if they rocked just to make sure, they are all good 
thanks I stopped posting for like a year because I got into my mountain bike build So my funds went there. I've been wanting to upgrade to a newer z. time I pass by the nissan dealership I keep seeing this white 2014 nismo for 34k. However I then look at my car and it's paid off with more room for modding lol.
I'm glad you're getting back on the z game man post some pics up!

I washed up my z and took her for a drive to the bay this weekend. I passed by the new tunnel here in downtown miami. We don't have any enclosed roads here so I found this a awesome spot for a cabin pic.
Also i wet sanded the nismo wheels and got all that baked brake dustt off the finish. They are ahiny *** he glass now
test fitted the rear nismos to my z and damn they look good. I love my gts but I want a change.

I know dude I'm dying to mount them already but I got a big trip coming up and I feel bad I just bought tires and the front tires will go to waste.
I feel biter sweet on my Volks. I want to keep them because of what they are but I'm bored of them. I've had them for like 6 years. That's longer than most ppl on this site has kept their z lol. I want to buy my girl a ring pretty soon so selling these will help with a chunk of the cost.
Thanks brother yeah I try to clay and wax her every couple of weeks. I just can't stand a dirty car I feel like it's a clunker when I see her with dirt on her lol. Believe it or not it's been sleeping on that drive way under that tree for the past 7 1/2 years. the constant wax is what's been preserving the paint imo. My cousin bought his charger the same year as I and he neglected to wax his car, he has no clear coat left, it looks terrible.
About the dash light, yes those are the tpms and slip lights that are on. Since my car is a base model it doesn't have those options so it lights up. I wonder if I get the switch and plug it to the existing cable under the dash if it will turn off? If not then I'll take it apart again and cut or cover the little bulb inside.

Yeah buddy I hope to boost the z this time around. We shall see! But the tag on the Evo is mine. And I don't get too much hassle. My wife got a ticket in it once and of coarse she blames the Tag lol. The what cop tag is the previous owners that he put on it lol.
Ha! With a tag like that, you're just asking for it.

Got the wheels mounted. I used the firestone wide oval 285/35/19 I had on my Volks and I got bridgestone potenza re050 265/40/19 on the fronts. Im in love with with my z all over again hehe, I needed a change. I do find the front tires aspects ration to be a little too tall. Oh well too late now, I think next time I should get 35 a/s, what do you guys think?
I'm also gonna have to dial in the of sets with some 10 or 15 mm spacers both front and back. I'm used to the flush tires with my Volks the rolled fenders look a little funny. Anyways here is a pic enjoy
