Default New (for me) 2003 Z Touring

I just got my first 350z. Its a 2003 and only has 29,000 miles. Now that I have the car and have been looking on the forum I need to start throwing Mods on it.

I'm not trying to race the Z(I have a late model for that), all mods are for look.

Here is what I'm thinking, any advice is greatly appreciated.

Lights:

http://www.carid.com/2003-nissan-350...-17694845.html

Exhaust:
Nismo cat back exhaust

And here is what I need the most help on.

I dont really understand how rims are measured, I would like black rims, with a chrome wall with a large offset... or a small offset.. im not really sure how offset works.

Here is my baby. Oh and this is my first ever post.. so sorry if I don't make any sense.

You found a 29K mile Z and want to ruin it with those cheap-*** Chinese-junk head and tail lights??? Please tell us where you live so we can give the car to someone more worthy.

Hey, welcome to the forum and congrats on picking up such a low mileage 350Z. I've got to agree with every comment on here dude, you've bought yourself a classic sports car whose heritage goes back to the late 1960's, before you were even a twinkle in your fathers eye. This is not a cheap *** Civic Ricer you've bought, please spend some time reading the forum, there is invaluable information on here. You know that Nismo don't make this exhaust any more? So unless you find a dealer who has one hidden away somewhere you're going to be buying second hand. Trav has been kind enough to provide you a link about understanding offsets. Your second sentence implies that you have a late model HR for racing, or have I misunderstood what you were trying to write??
