Finalized.. My stock 17's :P

Before you comment.. i dont care about your opinion that i should get new wheels rather than make my stock ones look nice, either comment on the wheels in the pictures or just dont comment at all.

they look tiny!! are you running a spacer at all?

I actually find the time attack 'ring' makes rims look smaller.

yeah, small spacers though... stock rims with flush spacing looks dumb. I'd do a 5-7mm spacer.

also, DROP THAT CARRRR!!! it'll look much better lower

it looks good, but would look better without the bodykit. Not sure why you guys spend $$$ on kits before wheels.

he said the car came with nismo rims, so im guess the kit was on there when he bought it. But since he sold the rims, all he has is the kit now.

+1, i love how stock Z's with aftermarket wheels look vs body kitted cars with stock wheels. in any case, get some hotchkis springs minor drop but still noticable to make your car have a much better stance.
