Default Got a ppw 05' 350z 5 weeks ago looking to add rims/other mods

I am new to the 350z community, so i am wondering if anyone users here have similar rims on their Z, and how it ended up looking in person. Also i am looking for some decent mods that can make my z sound a little better. I was looking into the JWT popcharger, but i am still uncertain about which exhuast system to install...any suggestions? thanks

beware you might be flamed for not reading the top 100 questions

this is my next purchase.. the in cabin sound sold me! I had a 3" magnaflow system for a while that I also really enjoyed. I thought I would want a car that is more quiet, wanted to be a little more professional, but I already miss having a good sounding exhaust..

not that I wouldnt recommend it, but I'm not one to buy something twice. I sold mine and went back to stock for a while.

Your best bet would be go to a local meet and here them in person first.

I found it for 950$ shipped. I'm waiting for my350z vendors to come at me with prices, I don't see any of them actively selling this anymore .. :/

+1 on going to a meet .. systems sound way different in person, though, to be fair, this youtube is a decent representation compared to most other vid clips

thanks for the feedback fellas, i will deffinitly do my homework about the borla. another thing i forgot to mention in the intial post was the crazy deal i got on this car. The car was bought from a nissan dealership including a 100,000 mile warranty. The car had only 27k miles on it and is the touring model, in amazing condition, no scuffs or anything, without any accidents or previous bodywork... dealer must have been retarded when he sold it to me for 16500. ive looked all over the internet and deals like that are unheard of, so i am happy i put so much time into finding my Z.

Bassani all the way. Makes it sound like an exotic, in my opinion, while still keeping some of the "Z" sound.

Welcome!

I remember consistantly researching exhaust options. I remember HKS and Borla basically coming to a tie for me. They both netted the higest whp gains on actual customer dynos (let's face it...vendors exaggerate). Borla won me with the sound, save a few hundred didn't hurt either. Only thing I felt I sacrificed was looks compared to the HKS.

As far as wheel options, there's too many. Keep it functional and choose the style that you like best. There's a million different opinions on this site, you'll hear all of them, and most likely feel like a dog chasing it's tail. Choose what you like, just make sure they're light.

Best of luck man
