Default New 350Z owner from Athens, Oh

My names cliff, finally got me a Z, came from a few other Nissan a Spec V and 2 different S14 240sx, Sold my S14 SR to upgrade to my brand used 03 Touring model. Love this thing to death! I'm gonna mostly be a lurker here like I was on zilvia and local forums, spend most of my time in the FS threads or collecting information about theses cars. Not really looking to do alot to this car other than some 19" rpf1's and lowering springs but knowing me, there will probably be a supercharger in the future.

Day I picked it up




First thing to go was the headlight overlays


license plate kicked to the side


First part that came in! rear wing/visor what ever its called


Oh yeah and I know the 20" wheels are hideous so I bought these stock 18"s and after I get tires for them I'm taking the 20" off and killing them with fire

Welcome!
I sure am not a fan of 20" wheels on a Z.However,from the pics,they (black/deep lip polished)
don't look that bad.To put 18" stockers on may be a mistake as far as looks go.
19's are the best balance overall.Not diggin the headlite eyelids.

This guy is absolutely wrong. Those wheels are hideous. Good job putting the stockers back on, sell those 20s to a "hood nikka" on craigslist.

RPF1 is definately a great wheel choice for the Z . The size enkei offer really fit onto the Z perfect and really nice stance too!

Yeah not exactly sure what offset and width i'ma go with when I get a set of RPF1's, still need to do a little research on good flush fitment, I have a buddy that rolls fenders so I'm gonna try and get that done here soon cause I'm gonna buy some 19" TSW Jarma's with damn near new Fed 595's for cheap to roll on for a while till I sell my yfz450 and buy me some RPF1's
