Yeap... I don't have $2500-$3500 cash for new wheels and tires. I also refuse to something cheaper. I'm quite happy with the stock 18's. Rather invest in more safe & reliable power than $3k worth of bling.

$3000 for rims is retarded. It's a Nissan for God's sake . I put my $$$ into performance as well. All rims and no go makes you a ricer. I'm not putting rims on unless I go FI and I'm not dumb enough to do that either. I'm going to move up instead.

FWIW, Motordyne 5/16 w/ISO, JWT pop, KJR pulley, Stillen sways, NISMO exhaust.

I don't think its "retarded" whether or not its a Nissan. I want wheels I'm just not going to put them on credit. My mods come by cash. So when I have some extra cash I order my mods. I don't have $3k cash so no wheels. Yet! :Thumbup2:

You still need headers and cams first poser. J/K.

I just don't see how >10% the cost of a vehicle should go into rims alone. Not just Nissan..anything, and I'm also not putting $3000 in rims and an extra $1200 in tires on a car that has permanent tire feathering issues.

Bastard!!(I'm sensitive about that) Well I'm sueing Nissan because of that. Seems to be that any auto manufacturer that builds a car w/ a defect that can't be fixed should either buy the car back or pay till the customer is satisfied. I might be unloading my mods and the Z soon.
