Ray, That white car is definitely the way to go. That's what I really want, and it does look a bit similar to an older 911 turbo.
As for the wheels, all I have is a word of caution about very aggressive offsets. For some reason or another cornering stability degrades a bit...possibly due to mismatched offset/tire width/shock/spring combo. I'm dealing with the odd behavior right now, and will try sways, then springs and shocks to see if I can reel in some more stability.

i think you have insulted the community here at my 350z.........................hahahahaha jUSt kiddingh
The MR is a great car and i love the bilsteins
if you go to the suspension section you sill see that with my post on the new 350z bilsteins commisioned by nissan for jdm cars i give props to the evo mr. it is really a great car. BUT THE ONLY THING IS HTAT A BASE LANCER IS 12 grand. and a base 7 is 27 grand that itself proves that the z is more car. Imagine a z with bilsteins and built engine with 19 psi turbo, that would kick butt.
THats what mitsubishi did with the evo, they suped up a lance fwd in there factory. BUT GUESS what the evo after 9 will not be based on the lancer because the company so far has bee suffereing from low sales due to the 350z stealing the market because of looks. In cali i see way more 350z's and g35's than evo's and sti's. evo's and sti' are only marketable topeople who have known abou european rallying and JDM cars for years and the common masses new the z since 240. But the two companies subaru and mitsu are basing their future high perfomance concepts on more streamlined couplike designs that appeal more to the american ideal of a sports car. a z looks as fast as a porsche in stock finish and at the valet in the irvine spectrum outdoor mall i saw a lowered z with no ody kit and c4 19/s slammed parked next to a modena and a gt3 and an nsx in the fron of the valet station *** decoration to increase the class of the environment. An evo will need to change a lot before the masses will respect it, but with my le manz z i get complements everyday by people of all ages form kids on the crosswaks pointing it out to their friends to staff at my university giving my car complements in the parking stucture its crazy and no mater what the evo will not match up to the amount of car the z is never. it may be faster around the track but if i run it over a sidewalk head on at 55 mph it wont still drive 100 on the freeway 2 hours later like my z has hahah the z is even more heavy duty than the m3 i hoped someone whould notice this already but i have great respect for m car, it is a keeper, THere are many reasons why its dense compact and heavy duty structure would be favoured over the boxy and loud winged evo. sorry i am in no wise disrespecting you i hope or any evo driver i just have driven both cars and i think the evo is a gimmic. id rather get a civic.peace
