Wing advice please.. opinions wanted!
Okay here is the deal I need a wing. I use to have a Nismo until I got rearended.
Okay so I have to get a wing now. So far on my car I have an Esprit Rear, GReddy Vented Sides, and a Stillen Front Lip. I was thinking about doing the G35 wing install on the rear, Stillen, or back to Nismo. Below is a pic of my car. Opinions from anyone and everyone will be appreciated?

+2 the stock wheels gotta go, they don't fit in with that kit you have. just my opionion. get some wheels before a wing, at least wheels look better and help in performance. the wing is just for looks and like others have said, i think it looks better without. unless you need it for racing, but then you would have to upgrade your wheels for that anyways.

Definitely save up for the rims. I know it's easier said than done, especially since you're looking at around $3000 for wheels & tires. Your car looks nice & clean though.

Remember, the Z is your Z. Advice/input from other Z owners is always good but don't lose track of your own tasteful touch and desire for how you want it to look. They're right about getting rid of the stock 17's, though!! While nice for driving off of the Nissan dealership with, they aren't really good for anything else. Hold off on the wing and go with some nice high-quality wheels that flow with your Z's personalized look. Some excellent and popular manufacturers are Volk, Work, Racing Hart, SSR, and Enkei (forged).
Best of luck with your upgrades! I think your ride is looking pretty nice!

Remember, every +1 wheel size decreases the torque value distributed to the pavement. Just so you don't feel ackward if you don't go with freaking planet size rims, Dusty at MVP Motorsports (the owner and the guy who currently has the fastest Supra on the circuit) runs 17" Volks (GT-7's I believe).

One just has to stay somewhat consistent with their intentions for the car. A street-eater can still look really good...heck, this car is a timeless design to me.
Pimp-it or Pump-it, the Z is sweet either way.
LOL you guys got the attention span of a gnat. Those are winter wheels. You dont go rollin all winter in salt and sand in chrome wheels unless you want a f*cked up finish. Furthermore the wing is already paid for... I was hit and the previous Nismo was damaged out. So now I just have to decide on one.
