i bought an 04 enthusiast Z last month so i thought i'd introduce myself. My name's Josh Layne, I'm 23 and i live in Charlotte NC. I bought it from Carmax w/ 30K miles on it. the 17" rims in these pics were from (i assume) the previous owner. theyre ISR wheels i think? sounds like a crap brand but i think they look good, let me know what you think (need spacers?). or even if anyone's ever heard of that brand let me know as well. the previous owner also painted the nonfunctional part of the tail lights to match the car. i'm not sure if i like it or not yet, once again let me know what you guys think. its tough to see but you can kinda make it out in the 1st and 3rd photos. i think some 06 replacement LEDs could rectify that if i decide i dont like it. anyway, i enjoyed the Z for 2 weeks trying to ignore the grinding 5th gear (6mt) then turned it back in to carmax under their 30 day warranty and they sent it to Nissan to replace it. Its been 2 weeks but i get it back on monday finally. i guess thats par for the Z though . nice to meet everyone, this forum is by far the most informative/active on the web, it helps pass the time at work

rims look like rollerskates but if ur happy with them thats all that matters. I believe though, the more time u spend here the more you'll want a different set of rims

haha.. alright i got the idea. lose the paint and lose the rims, got it. thanks for the input. will straight up paint thinner really do the job? for some reason i thought it might be more involved.

it probably would be more involved. probably easier to just buy a used set off the classifieds section of the forum for like $50.00

Congrats on the Z. I would at least get some 18's on there and lose the painted tails, ruins the lines of the car.

Wheels need spacers, and remove the paint from the tails.
