Default Suggestions for a new set of wheels / Fairlady decal....

Just got my brand new 2005 Z about a month ago and the factory rims are already starting to look ugly.... Just wondering where did most of guys get your set of after market wheels (online etc.) Also, I'm looking to get the "Fairlady Z" decal / logo on the back of my car.....any idea where I can get my hands on this? Any suggestions / comments would be appretiated...........By the way, this is my first car that I have bought and I have to admit that the Z is hands down one of the best looking / performing sports car out there right now.........I think I'm in love!!

www.courtesyparts.com for your emblem. They have wheels too I believe. You may want to look in the Vendor section for a place to buy rims.

For your wheels, I would research to find the wheel you want. Volks, Racing Hart etc.. then find a vender that has it in stock. Browse through some galleries. I personally got my wheels from an online vendor.

Thanx guys.........will definatley check out the site.......very cool. Nitrouz.........where did you get your 19" Volk GT-Cs ? I love that style.......specially in gunmetal. I also noticed that you got the front chin spoiler and the side skirts...did you notice any difference in the handling / your driving style at all after you got these?

Just looked through MVP... looks like they carry the full line of Volks, including GT-Cs

It's a full C-West CF lip kit...including front lip, side skirts, and rear lips. Didn't make any handling difference...but my Tein suspension did. But with the suspension and the kit, I have to go sideways up or down driveways, etc...if that's what you mean. I haven't driven the car at super high speeds yet to feel the aerodynamic difference caused by the kit (although I doubt I would feel it), cuz I'm still breaking her in...got her last 2 weeks ago today.

Got the Volks for a Canadian distributor of Mackin products.

Was Mackin able to give you a comparable price to the online distributors in the States? I haven't found anyone here that can come even close.

no...this is in Canada. I went with a retailer, and compared the prices with some other places, talked the price down a bit, and voila.
