Thanks I like the look as well ... I was sorta tentative about putting 20" rims on my Z but I really don't think they look oversized at all. Believe it or not but the twenties with tires are probably 3 or 4 pounds lighter (a piece) then my stock 18s.

to give you the whole shabang ...

fronts 20X9 with 3" LIP, PCD 114.3, offset et37
rears 20X10 with 4" LIP, PCD 114.3, offset et38

Height is stock and will probably remain (sorry guys not droppin' it).

Meeting you two brings yet more diversity to the group (both culturally and car)...lol. You two were calm and collected. Great to see you two...next time the wifey wants to come..she is sick over the pics! Man that was a great drive!

20-inch wheels and the kit work well together.

Great time everyone... We'll have to plan another one of these in the future and hopefully I'll have my beast for the next run.

Mike - sorry about your battery/alternator issue . Hopefully nothing too serious.

P.S. The drive home was awesome. Great stretches of road for the pedal happy crowd .

Ryan, Red 06 Track, and "05 Z" -That was some serious cruzin! That was so much fun! 211 rocks.

I was so glad to see a good turnout for this meet. Everyone there were good people and I hope to see you at the next meet but next time we need a better turnout with more Z's and G's.

Mike-Sorry to hear about your break down, hope all is well.

Everyone who posted pics, they are all well done, great pics!

Well guys, it was good to see everyone out and enjoying the great weather and what looks like beautiful driving. I hope next time to actually make it inside the park next time
Anyway, thanks again to DavidV for his great planning of the gathering and to everyone for posting the photos.

Have a great week and hope to see some of these great rides again soon.

How many 350Z does it take to stop a motorhome?
Apparently alot more than 15 including two G's doesnt come close...!!!

To all that were not there... we took exit 13, which is the exit off I66, and we almost had a complete train pill up...to include a 45 foot Motor Home that was in the right lane behind us all....I guess seeing 45 or so brake lights wasnt enough warning to stop him...he ( the Motor Home) almost plowed into all of us; which we almost plowed into ourselves making a last minute exit...lol.

Everyone made it out unscaved...but it was hairy! LOL.

Brent this is when we pulled over to wait for you to check your oil. THE ONLY TIME I DIDNT HAVE MY CAMERA ON!!!!

Great time everyone! The scenery was incredible and it was a fun drive.

I kept looking for a bobcat to wrangle up for the ride home, I need another pet.

This time I got stuck behind a pick-up truck at about 25 mph.
