It looks good and as far as original work goes, your car already sports other pieces of it: not a lot of Z are out there on single exhaust configs.

Wheels look good indeed... they would be an even better match with the Volk logos in black instead of blue.

Nice!

they look awesome dude....and you added a spacer too!

like caviar or wasabi, white wheels are an acquired taste and not for everyone.

^^^ yeah, I like 'em.

I also took some weights on them before putting them on - with TPS installed the wheel/tire combo weighed in at about 43lbs front and 45lbs rear. Very nice considering a set of SF-Challenges with more worn out tires were about 10lbs heavier each front and rear My car feels peppy again!

This is a completely serious statement:

Try painting your door handles white (make sure it's the same tone of white). I think it would be the right amount of accent to match the wheels. Looks great and good job bringing something original and cool into the spotlight.

The worst I can say is "Not bad. Not bad at all". Although, I have to agree with it being pretty high-maintenance having black paint and then white wheels on top of it. Hey, seems like you've been maintaining it pretty well. Aggressive FTW for you.

I like it. The drop is great. What are you dropped on? I like the car how it sits. Don't do a kit.

i concur 100% with this post. could go more, but still good choice on wheels/offsets. car looks great.

Your car looks hella sexy! I always wanted White TE37s. Offest look preety good I thought it would stick out in the back with those offsets.

Thanks, and I agree - I could easily add more to the rear - I may throw a spacer on. But since I went with such a wide tire up front I do want to maybe get a set of Cusco A-arms to dial in a little more neg. camber. There is more room for sure if a guy went with a stretched tire setup


- and adding any kind of body kit would put me very near the ground (I am already quite low), and I believe as long as the car is low enough a body kit isnt neccesary. Although a lip would look nice...

those would be my choice if I was to do it... either that or a nismo front lip and prob nismo rears with the veilside sides, but I just dont know yet. I actually had a CF V1 lip but never put it on because I couldnt justify scraping/destroying a $500 lip when (not if, lol) I hit something the first time
