Default flat silver 19" TE37's on Silverstone S-tune / gold Brembos

On Sunday, April 27th, I went to get my 19” flat silver TE37’s installed together with the Potenza S03 ZR Pole Positions in a 245/35 front - 275/35 rear configuration.

I was really apprehensive since I have been dreaming about what they would look like on my Z… after researching every post regarding these wheels and matching tire setup… but you never know until you see them in person.

Well, before buying the Z, I was in love. Took possession of the Z… and given the absolutely terrible handling and bounce – fell out of love. Then, I had the S-tune suspension with stabilizer bars installed – and fell back in love. Now, with my flat silver TE37’s, as all_bark has in his tagline – “ I love this freakin’ car “.

I am taking my Z in on Monday to have the alignment done at Nissan. But I had the chance to do a short 2 hour run today… and the wheels together with the S-tune work in perfect harmony. Same crisp handling on a larger patch of “better” tire… perfection.

The S-tune drop is 3/4 of an inch all around… and with the TE37’s installed, the drop looks great. I have fairly skinny fingers… and can fit 2 fingers between the fender and the tire in the front… and 2 fingers, tight, in the rear.

I am absolutely delighted with the S-tune and these wheels. The flat silver TE37’s together with the Silverstone color, door handle accents, and the gold Brembos – I am grinning ear-to-ear.

Also note, when I ordered my TE37’s … I instructed my wheel shop to take off the blue stickers (which come standard)… and replace them with the BLACK stickers. The black stickers look great. Also, had them take off the blue valve stems … and replace them with chrome silver valve stems that also look fantastic.

This is the tuner shop...

Very nice

Mind if I ask what offset? No guard rolling I presume. You've got exactly the setup I'm looking at.

WOW! Can't wait to get all of my stuff put on. StopTechs are going on this week, S-Tune next week and I also landed a set of the RAYS track wheels. They're all polished up and sitting in the garage.

Thanks for the pics, Bill!
