Default My new Redline Z!

Hey guys,

Just bought a 2006 Redline 350z Touring! It only has 52k on it, and to me, seems like it is in excellent condition! Other than the few small paint chips on the rocker panels, paint is in excellent shape for a 350z. I've had it for just about a month now, and I've loved every minute of it. I also bought a 2000 Jeep Cherokee XJ for my winter ****, and rainy day car lol. All opinions and comments are welcome! Thanks guys!

that's fine. the touring and grand touring wheels look sexy. but you should search around in the media share/wheels n tires sections for better wheel ideas if you plan to upgrade.

Congrats on the Z!
Redline is one of my fav colors.
I'm not much for doing polls.What does this prove?
As for wheels,your OEM wheels are some of the better Z
wheels.They look pretty good.Don't get dated.
IMO,19's are best on the Z.Of course,new tires go along.
With a red Z,black to me just does not mesh well.Gunmetal
or a Hyper black looks great.Budget?---a big factor.
Design,I tend to like a mesh wheel.Many out there.
Start with wheels then a exhaust.Be cautious on suspension
lowering if you plan on adding body mods as a lip etc.
Also,what are your roads like?Speed bumps,steep driveways etc?
These things may be a problem for the Z which is already
pretty low.
Good luck!

Thanks for the input! Redline is my favorite color of the 350z, i would like to add some black wheels but i like the gunmetal color of the factory ones too, so I might stick to that. Also, I live in NorthEast Ohio and the roads blow here potholes everywhere, so a lip is out of the question for me haha.

Yea, ohio sucks, i couldn't imagine driving my Z in the winter. And it also gives me an excuse to buy another vehicle (the Jeep) and beat.
