thanks for the compliments guys . i dont think i could be any happier with the way it came out . im up in the air right now though whether to go for wheels/tires first, or get the side skirts and rear end done as well.
i just gave you some good suggestions. trust, i have no love for one company or another but i know what is crap and what is not, koenig is crap in my book. if you dont like first set of suggestions then try some Axis, enkei, rota, advans or iforged wheels. rota torques in gloss black, enkie rpf1s, axis hiros etc...

thanks again to everyone else for the compliments

im still completely undecided on the wheels, so ive still got a lot of looking around to do

the volks are nice looking wheels, but i think when it comes time to buy i would rather look around and find something that original that i like . the koenigs were just something i had seen on the interwebs, ive not ever seen them in person, and like i said in my original post about them, i still think the spokes are too small. i was not near ready to g oand buy them

Falken Koblenz are nice. And of course you don't need to get Volks or Works. They do look good on the car though. My suggestion would be to keep w/ the theme of your car. You've got a very sporty front end, so I'd get a sporty looking wheel. Enkei's are a good choice, or better yet, finish out the Nismo look w/ some 19" NISMO LMGT's.

holy swirl marks on the hood batman! Or is that just the reflection? Either way, with a hot kit, you need some hot wheels. just make sure you drop it like it's hot

That's right...Superior Nissan. The next one is Dec. 3rd. @ 7:00....stay tuned to the SouthEast section where I normally post a thread reminder.

We're gonna have our Christmas party Dec. 1st out at my place and depending on weather have a nice drive before the pimping cookout. You're more than welcome to come out and give the club a test drive.
