Default Just got the Z!! :)

Well, I went to go pick it up yesterday. I ended up buying one right off the forums. Anyone know a good place to get winter wheels+tires? I don't want to drop $1500. Anyways, Do you guys think it needs wheel spacers at all? I'm very happy with the purchase!!!

You might try Tire Rack for the winter wheels and tires. They usually have some pretty good specials this time of the year. I suspect you can get a set for under $1000.

I never thought I'd hear a Z owner say "murdered out"

It's a sad day.

In other news, you bought an incredibly clean and tastefully styled Z.

They look good in all black. That's all it is really, tinting windows, painting the headlight/tail light housing black, painting the side markers black etc. an all black appearence.

If you want good tires on your stock rims, go to TireRack. They have high performance all-seasons like Michelin Pilot Sport for example. You won't have to swap wheels each season that way.

+1...a more subtle term would to make it more "stealth", and you'd be virtually saying the same thing.

Welcome OP! Nice Z.

congrats, drop the $1500 on a beater that way you can save mileage on the Z and not take a chance at being in a ditch with light rain or snow.
