Yeah, 10.5" wide. I think it looks badass with the stock wheels... I have 1/4" of clearence with the 305s at the back.

Plus, I prefer investing $ into my engine instead of wheels. I just needed the tracation very badly, hence the reason for 305s with sticky R coumpound (Nitto NT555RII).

 

wow 305s. I honestly can't believe people widen stock rims, or any rims for that matter. There's no way that weld is perfectly done to properly distribute stresses. I think any part that is involved with keeping you on the road (brakes, tires, rims, suspension) should be of high quality. But that's just my opinion. Those rims do look pretty awesome though. And good luck with that new boosted engine.

 

It's apparently very safe, it's been done for years... If done correctly, the welds are actually stronger than the metal surrounding it. More info here: http://weldcraftwheels.com/

 

never seen anyone widen a rim before.

Thats some crazy ***** right there!

 

+1 And lets see some pics with those 305's on the car

18psi what springs did you get?

 

15psi Forge actuator springs...

 

yellow ones? 10-15psi?

 

Nope, red ones. I was able to boost 15.4 psi on them alone last week.

 

cool. I would definitely want my wheels heat-treated after being welded to properly distribute any residual stresses. It doesn't look like they do that at weldcraft. That's just my personal view. I track my car so the last thing I need is a weld breaking while going around a corner at 100km/h. Those 305s would look pretty sick on a Z though.

 

I'm not 100% sure what they do, but they did heat treat the wheels. That can be seen in the pictures as the clearcoat has burn marks on the inside of the wheels. It's hard to notice, really...

 

Just picked her up almost 2 weeks ago....2006 GT with track pack and navi.... I recognize some of the user names from S2Ki on here.

I'll post a few pics with my bike soon.

 

lol..dude..welcome to the 350z community!!!...

i think you'll go back to the s2k in a matter of months...since you've owned...2 or 3?lol...

how do you like the Z so far??

 

Is that you Gian?
Nah....I loved the S2000 but it's a total different beast. It's more of a weekend warrior...focused machine. The Z is like a GT car....almost like a Porsche Carrera. It's great to look at, makes all the right sounds and is pretty comfy. I bought an 06 R6 as well. I'll post some pics of that soon.

May 29th is a S2ki track day....I'll be bringing the ride out on TMP.

crappy blackberry phone pic. yes I know it needs a massive drop but no worries i'm gonna drop it tomorrow.

 

yea man..glad you like the Z. it is comfy. i took it to Atlanta last weekend for an 18 hour drive. It was really comfortable. I wouldn't have done that with the S. lol..

 

Nice day for a spin!

 

Dammmn never knew there were turbo g35's running around in toronto, you sir have to come out to one of the meets, or let us know when g35 meets are happening, id love to come and look at the sexy rides

 

Sounds good! I'm located in KW. We have a few nicely modded G's patrolling the streets around here. Definitely need to hook up with some Z's in the T dot this summer.

 

Here's a few of my latest pics... some of you may have seen them already.

 

You're in KW? I'm in Cambridge, we should definitely meet up!

I had no clue someone was running boost on a G around here.

Very, very sexy car
