Im the same way. Some of the changes like the much larger wheels and odd rear tire size for a 10" rim seem questionable. For instance the 9.5" Nismo rears recommend a 275 tire, so why would a 10" use 265?

If it's anything like the Diamond Pearl Black that was on my 300zx then I know what color I want.

Nissan always undersizes the tire to the rim, I'm guessing to save money. Depending on manufacturer, correct size for a 9" rim is 255 and 10" is 275. Not sure about Nismo, 9.5" should wear 265 rubber.

I think the Lexus LS300 had that new black - its like a hyper charcoal - almost black but not quite, but UBER pearl / metalic in it. Its a real dancer with the sunlight.

I personally want Pimp Plum

Yeah, same here. 300bhp, bigger brakes, led tails, bi-xenons would of made the wait quite worth it. Too bad we didn't know.

LOL how come a couple of months ago everybody was bashing the new '06 and now you guys are all, man I wish I would have waited, oh I can't wait, oh I'm sooo getting one etc.?

Anyway I hope all the '06 models do come with the Anniversary wheels, maybe I will be able to sell them for about $800 with the tires to somebody, to help pay for a set of real wheels and tires:-D

No really, it would be cool if turns out that the base model does end up coming standard with 18's but I still want something nicer than even those wheels. I was hoping that maybe they would put 18's on the base for '06 but I'm not real crazy about factory wheels in general. even the 5 spoke Ann. wheels don't do it for me, so hope I can get rid of them.

Too bad Ultra yellow is gone. I have a DB Z and was hoping my next Z would be UY. Oh well. Seems like every year Nissan keeps making one color just for one year.

Sorry no pix yet. Yes, swappable. I do remember that someone had posted pix of an '06 roadster from a Stillen event. Maybe about a month ago. They show the new lights and interior.

I wasn't one of them bashing the '06. The MP3 player is one thing, but the new black is just a stab in the heart. < pretend thats blood comming out.
