Default PPW 350z with my new wheels lowered!

Hello again! Yesterday I posted some pictures of my car with the G-Game Wolf 77 2 piece wheels that had the bad +48 offset, non-staggered and tucked way under the fender. As promised here are pics I took today with the new wheels on the car. Sorry if some of the pics aren't the best, the sensor on my camera had some dust on it. I love the wheels so far, only been on the car for a few hours.

Wheel Specs:
19" TSW Thruxton
19x8 +20 offset (245/35/19) Front
19x9.5 +20 offset (275/35/19) Rear
Lowered on Tanabe GF210's

Please post comments thanks!

No offense, but the other wheels looked better.
You just needed some spacer to complete the look.

Im not a big fan of these wheels. I hate how the star concaves into the lip. The lip size is only an illusion. You really have a 1/2 inch lip in the front and a 1.5 inch lip in the rear. There are tons of 5 star wheels out there that would have looked 10 times better IMOP. But like I always say, its your car and if you like them that is all that matters.

Good Day!

You are correct on that part, but this is a good wheel for me to start out with. Aftermarket is better than stock wheels and they look good, but yes the lip on these are deceiving, the way the arms on the wheels stick out do make the lip to appear smaller. Either way for the price I paid with tires, can't beat it for now. I can use the other $1500 I would have used for wheels to finish paying my GSXR750 off and buy some more accessories for the Z. It's a win/win situation either way I look at it.

This LG phone rules, I never drop a single call ever. I wonder if you have poor digital service where you live? That could be a possibility since these phones are stictly digital. Also dude to get a new battery, hop on ebay. I bought mine from eforcecity i think it was on ebay, it was $12 shipped from California, had it in 2 days and it is the OEM Lg battery, works great! Another thing, go to Verizon and make sure you have the most up to date software version on your phone, they released a new version that fixes the poor battery life. There was a bug with the bluetooth causing it to drain the battery extensively.

Looks good, but lip should've been bigger!
