Default A Much Needed Small Makeover On The Z

So, some of you may remember my new owners thread where I posted my car for the first time...Well I made a few changes. I got some new wheels and rubber beginning of July. BFG KDW2 tires in 245/35 and 275/35 and Varrstoen 2.2.2's in 9.5/10.5 +12, 19's. Then 2 weeks later, I got the window tint redone. 15% on the back 3 and 35% on the front 2. Then today my shorty antenna arrived in the mail, so I put it on, washed the car and snapped a picture.

Here she was with the big boi ballin' chrome 20's:



Today:



Let me know what you think!

My eyes may deceive me, but it looks like there are flat black center caps on there. Why no paint matched center caps?

Not a fan of Varrs but definitely a much needed improvement over the nasty ones you had on.

Not too sure why they are matte black center caps...I bought the wheels off craigslist, they were brand new in box. Where can I get some matching ones?

I am content with the ride height for this year. I was planning on lowering it, but I already rub on big dips and fast corners, and with an extra passenger its even worse...So I need to get my fenders rolled before I think about any lowering.

I know some guys arent thrilled with varrs, but I figured they are a decent stepping stone wheel. Anyways, thanks for the positive comments so far.

If there was some number HIGHER than a million, that's how much better it would look. a million and 1, maybe? at any rate, I think your ride height is fine UNLESS you're trying to create the popular look. Buuut, your wheel gap isn't atroscious. You're good to bo. Did I say it looks about a billion times better? yeah. a billion. THAT'S what we're going with.
