Great transformation, can't wait for it to be finished. One thing though, I'm not a fan of the white wheels

Wheels look like niche shocks. In to see what it will look like.

Thumbs up Wheels

would prefer not to be a serial but it will come with time, first I have to finish with the exterior.
Wheels are different than what we see in America.Look a bit Porsche style.
Tastes in wheels are all over the place.If you think white is right for your car
then white it is.Many in the U.S' would select black.IMO,that type of "twisted
spoke" wheel looks a tad clunky on a Z.Especially with 18's.If they are
like a Porsche wheel,they could be hollow--light weight.

rims are not my choice , they came quite by accident..
will be quite okay for the start
in my hometown is a similar thing as with you, many have black rims

I wanted something different, we'll see how it all looked in the end

You know what, this will decimate all after you put about 15 grand in it or more...
If you have to, overnight parts from Japan.

Did a great job, that platinum color looks awesome! Though I do agree with the wheel consensus, imo black or bronze wheels would really set off your car.
