06 DB 350Z **** - Grand touring
It's the grand touring model with the '06 track rims... 
They look awesome, IMO. Just the right offset so they are much closer to the edges of the fenders. 245/40/18 (18x9) front and 265/35/19 (19x10) rear. I was trying to find detailed pics of these rims before I bought, but I could not find any. Maybe this'll help the next guy. Notice there's a weird guard thingy on the rear fender. I guess it helps protect the rear fender from rock chips...

not sure about a drop...
Thanks for the compliment. It would look better w/a mild drop, but I need it to perform on the street. It rides a bit firm already, and the suspension seems a bit on the bouncy side. Seems like it could use better shocks. Maybe some Koni's. We'll see, I need to read up on the popular suspension mods for it.

BTW it's not a 12-13K difference, between the two models.

Thanks for the _positive_ posts
I hear you on the NAV. It was a tough decision not to get it (well, not too tough for a $2k option!), but I think it clutters up the look of the dash. Looks much cleaner without. Plus, my brother owns car stereo shop and can get me a deal on a touch-screen Nav that he can hide behind the center cubby lid.
I'll leave the rims on the car. I think they're bad-a$$. They are more unique at this point than a lot of after-market rims. May not be the case in a few years when there are more out there, but I like em anyway. To each their own...
I'll give the factory brembos a chance... No sense in replacing them unless I fade them regularly during spirited driving or auto-crossing. I don't do any real track driving events or anything. We'll see...
Looking forward to better shock valving and some engine mods so it feels more free-breathing at the higher RPMs. Feels a bit lethargic past 5k RPMs. At least in the demo car. Only 300 miles so far on this one so I gotta baby it for a while.

I guess it's all relative....

The Z's a different car though. I am sure I'll get used to it!

Dude I have the exact same car. In my opinion I wanted nothing but a "sports car", not a sedan i'm gonna be takin' the family on long trips with to god know where so there is no need for the NAV. I basically wanted a track model with leather seats which is what the car is.

Looks really NICE. I have an 03 with leather and no NAV. Don't need the distraction the NAV would cause when driving. I normally run a mapquest session before I leave so I know where I'm going.
My wheels are 17" but look similar. I like 'em just fine the way they are. In the event I fail to keep them from being sun damaged, I may have them polished later..
