Talking New Z owner!

Hey guys, I'm David. I'm 20 years old and I worked hard the past 5 months to put a significant down payment on a black 2003 enthusiast 350z! I bought it for 10.5k with 80k miles earlier this week and it came with a little bit of goodies; Stillen Stainless Steel Exhaust Systems, NISMO cold air intake super chrome Ruff Racing r951, and a Sirius Radio

I'm going to start saving up for some nicer wheels with some creativity on the color. I was thinking on getting gold xxr 522 18x9.5 all around +25mm just to have some stylish generic wheels. Any other suggestions on wheels or any tasteful mods I should consider?

Depending on what you will use your Z for,IMO--19" wheels look better on a Z.
If you are looking for track use/performance,18's are better.
I'm not a fan of gold wheels.They look good to start,then get old.
Looks like you got a good deal on your car if its in good condition.

Welcome man! I have an 04 black Z with the 522s. Go with 19s, they will look a little better. I have 18s currently and wish I had 19s.. The gold look nice, go with those if you like it. Mine are black and they're getting old. Lowering springs are a fairly inexpensive mod that look good too.
