Wheel Questions
Hey guyz. I have a few questions regarding aftermarket wheels for the Z. Basically, whats the best way to go about getting some new wheels? More specifically:
1. I like the Volk TE37s (gunmetal, 19"). There doesn't appear to be any authorized Volk dealers in my area (Central Ohio). Do most people visit a wheel shop or just get them online?
2. If you get them online, I know you can purchase with tires mounted and balanced. If this is done, do you simply have to remove old wheel/tire and replace with new? The bolt patterns are the same?
3. When it eventually comes time to put on new tires, do you need to go to a special shop that can handle the large wheels and low profile tires?
4. Do they come with the correct offsets?
5. Recommendations for places to buy them? (online or not)
6. Does it matter if the Z is an enthusiast model?
These are things that are probably "stupid questions" to some, but things that aren't obvious to novices. Thanks for the help.

1. online
2. yes, the sponsor you are buying from will help you with that.
3. I say do it yourself so you will not scratch the hell outta the wheels. The inside of the bolt holes get scratched or nicked realy bad.
4. same as ? 2
5. call around for the best price and service, check feedbacks from this site too.
6. no, but it will if you have the tire pressure sensors. just let them know.
