Very nice! I am interested in the nismos for the exact same reasons. Where did you purchase your nismos? What size are they?

Because I didn't want to lose any handling characteristics, I went with the 18" Nismos. It was a great choice for me. I got Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's with them and I consider it a perfomance upgrade...the car pulls noticeably stronger with the lightweight Nismos, and these tires are fantastic!!!! I can't emphasize that enough, the Goodyears make the car handle tremendously better in every situation as opposed to the OEM 040's. Of course they're sticky and are glued to the road in the canyons, but over all road surfaces, especially bumpy or even slightly bumpy roads, the Goodyears give you a much better overall ride and handle normal street imperfections so much better! Just a much smoother ride all the time, and when it's time to get goin', they're a dream.

BTW, I got them off Ebay from a guy named Brinster for $1375, shipping included. One of the reasons I got them. The other wheels I was looking for were all over $2K if not $2500. He's located in VA. I think he almost always has a set of Nismos available on Ebay. It was my largest Ebay transaction, and was smooth as silk. Mark (Brinster) is a good guy!

Baby, no matter what wheels you put on your Z, you'll get heavy attention. Go with your 1st instinct.....

I'm undecided on going with something other then all chrome rims. I'd like to stuff 19x9.5 front and 19x10 in the rear. I read that the stock Z has an offset of 30, I'm not exactly sure how much or little I would need................................
You can do either 19's or 20's, you have a lot to choose........I have a set of Concept Neeper Moxy's 20x8.5 and 20x10. (http://www.kxwheels.com/productdetai...94&&detailid=0)

I also ordered the Hotchkis suspension TVS Stage I Kit, which I'm still waiting for......... Bottom line, you have a lot to choose.....


Here is a better view of the rims..............http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...z/100_1788.jpg
