Good point! Yes, I have thought about the potential heat issues with a metal ****. Here in CA this isn't that big of a deal depending on the season and which part of CA you live in. Where I live and where I park the vehicle 95% of the time won't cause any heat issues inside the cabin or with the ****. Also, some good quality UV/IR window tint makes a huge difference here (must do front windshield, and yes that's illegal in CA). Worst case scenario, I can swap ***** out in the summer months or just throw a shade over it if I'm parking for hours in an uncovered/exposed area (Like visiting Laguna Seca!). The **** is countersunk/shorter than the stock one, so I may or may not like the ergonomics (being a tall guy). I haven't tried it out yet since I received the **** while the Z was still in the paint shop. I'll be doing some tinkering this coming weekend.
Cheers!

My old roommate used to throw a sock over his.
I've put Samco hoses on multiple cars and never had any issues.
-ISC 370MM Coilover Covers (Always protect your investment)
-GKtech Drift Button, (OEM functionality, just prefer the look)
New wheels arrive at work today, so that will be next,
If I may make a suggestion, check out bumperplugs.com, fill in those holes from the dealer installed lic plate frame on front bumper. I was using these on my Z before I had the front end re-painted (holes were filled in). Now my bumper is clean/smooth across the front. But bumperplugs offers nicely paint matched plugs. They aren't cheap for what you actually get, but it is cheaper than getting a whole bumper repainted and it's better than leaving unsightly holes!

Great suggestion Icer. They are pricey but may consider getting some. Thanks!
Did you purchase this new? if so how long did it take you to get these? These are one of my favorite wheels for the Zs
Purchased new, as I work for a company that is an authorized Work Wheels retailer.
I was quoted 20-24 week ETA when I ordered these on January 23rd. BBF face might take longer as it is a polish and clear annodize.
They arrived to my desk on April 17.
Unsure if the timeline is shorter as it is an order for a retailers employee vehicle, or they intentionally over quote the lead time due to the variables involved with manufacturing, shipping, customs, etc.

What tires did you go with? and whats the weight on the wheels. Just curious

Wheels weighed 28.7 lbs each (without tire) on my shipping scale at work.
Tires are Continental SureContact RX as they were on closeout with a vendor at work.
stillen oil pan, 75mm throttlebody, z1 oil catch can, z1 25 row oil cooler, idler delete and factory oil cooler sandwich delete. When I was done with all that, I cracked my upper oil pan with a new oil pressure sending unit.So I've also ordered a new one.
