Yeah, I'm thinking about some mild tint on the windows and maybe a spoiler on the back.. Since i wont be getting too radical with it I might install some 10mm spacers to bring the wheels out a little so they are more inline with the fender.. And then maybe a 1" drop in the future..

In a non-community state, the court will use equity (ie. whatever it feels you deserve) to decide who keeps what.
In both cases, you are best to have a prenup agreement when you get married, which essentially guarantees there won't be an issue. However, prenups are often a stumbling block for getting married in the first place (women hate them because they will often be the lower earner, and they will stay at home more often).
Using title alone will not protect you from losing the car. You would have to do something like putting your name on the Z title, and hers on another equally valuable vehicle, then you can argue that it is easiest to simply divide the property by title since they have equal value.

Im in a 50/50 state and was able to keep everything I brought into the marriage but I did have to show unquestionable proof such as my IRA and all investments.. I only had to split what was aquired during the marriage...
Advise, if at all possible, always keep what you bring into a marriage seperate and leave it seperate. If its an account or investment, dont touch it, start a new one or transfer only what your willing to lose 1/2 of..

Prenup however has nothing to do with the ring. Prenup defines the disposition of property owned individual prior to marriage, and then the property acquired after marriage has occurred (the revocable gift situation occurs only prior to marriage, then the ring is either community property or the wife's property). For example, if you get engaged, then split a day before the legal papers are signed, then the ring is not subject to the prenup because the marriage never happened. I agree though, that once the marriage is official, the prenup would apply and could decide the ownership of the ring.

Wicked, sorry about the recent unpleasantness you had to endure. I can speak from experience that even an amicable divorce can be pretty shattering. However, your attitude is excellent and your reward seems to be an upgrade of your life. Well done.
You stated, that you and your ex-spouse were required to split 50/50 all the assets acquired during the marriage. With a clean, tastefully modded Z, she certainly got some cool stuff. I’m curious as to what treasures you got for your half? Toaster, blender, possibly a Panini sandwich maker? (Since it’s really none of my business, feel free to tell me to shut-it, you wouldn’t be the first.)
By-the-way gentlemen, just so there’s no future ambiguity, I will be keeping the ring when we split!

I was not able to recover the ring because it was considered a gift, even though it wasnt a holiday.. Once your married its no longer considered a gift.. My wife was an obsseive control freak so I am very happy to finally be free and not owned..

Wrong, in almost every state. My daughters fiancee broke off their engagement several months ago and she had to give the rings back; did some research and if the marriage doesn't happen, and the guy bought the rings, the girl has to give them back. They are not considered a gift, they are considered a part of the impending marriage and if no marriage, no rings. Regardless - prenup is the safest thing to do. Actually staying single is the best thing to do - this coming from a guy who has been happily married for 28 years, lol. So I kid........
Yeah, I'm sure you are right. I was just trying to make a point.

AM I THE ONLY ONE NOT GETTING DIVORCED?!
LOL but yea man, really get to know the person. I come from studying relationship psychology and you wouldn't believe some of the signs people miss when they are together. BTW the Red Z spanks the white one, the only white cars I like are the ones that have been slammed and turned into storm troopers.
Btw you just got married to the Z she will never disappoint! (and if she does, there are always aftermarket parts for her )

I have the same wheels also.
Nismo LM-GT4s made by Rays Engineering. They are more or less 5-spoke Volk TE37s.
Your set looks like the same size as mine, tentatively judging from the pictures.
My fronts are 18x8.5 with a +25 offset, on 245/40 tires
Rears are 18x9.5 with a +30 offset, on 275/40 tires
They are extremely nice wheels to have, particularly if you track your car (very lightweight). I'm trying to find another pair of the 18x9.5 so I can run a square setup.
Regarding the rear tire, I would second the advice to stick with the 275/40s and lower the car if you are just looking to kill gap. You can go 285/40 but you *MAY* need to upsize the fronts to 255/40 so that the F/R ratio doesn't become skewed past the point where the VDC system throws a fit.
