Default Just bought a 350z

Hey guys i just bought a 350z this aftertoon, thankyou income tax! Im happy to be part of the Z family and i hope to learn many things from being here and meeting lots of you! I wont have pics till tomorrow cause of the rain but it a 2004 Redline and it came with stock 20 inch rims. Its runs great and is beutifully kept, one thing that i just noticed was the handbrake does not work but ill take it to the dealer to get fixed since i did get warranty Its a way different experience than my Mitsu Lancer!

Well nice to meet you all, all make sure to have pics soon!

Not really. 20" wheels are large, heavy and cumbersome for the Z. My fullsize truck has factory 20s and I think they're too big lol.

Yep!

Also enjoy buying tires for those "balla" rims, getting them mounted, the performance loss, bent rims/blow outs due to crappy roads, wear and tear on your brakes, degraded braking, shall i continue?....
