They should really try to focus on keeping the Z more fun and affordable instead of so expensive and pricing themselves out. For $50k or more, I would just stop looking and go for a Corvette or Porsche.

No thanks. For the same money, I could buy a 370Z with less miles and more technology.

Happy new year, guys! I just went to a neighbor's house and hung out and played CAH. Nothing too exciting. Didn't get drunk, so that's a bonus.

I know some of you guys probably already caught wind, but if not:
Stolen Wheels!
ENKEI GTC01 5x114.3 in Hyper Black (black chrome)
(2) 18x9 +18 offset Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 265/35/18 tires mounted
(2) 18x10 +22 offset Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta 295/35/18 tires mounted
Staggered Fitment was for a 350Z.
wheels are in like new condition, front tires are in good shape with 50%+ tread left. Rear tires were down to the wear markers.
wheels were stolen sometime christmas day evening into saturday morning out of my storage building in Cottage Grove.

















so now I am looking at buying a replacement sometime between now and spring.
a few I am considering:
All would be 18*9.5; 18*10.5 staggered. obviously the volks are more money-> about 1.5x as much.




Enkei GTC01RR









Enkei RS05RR












Volk TE37







Volk ZE40

Sucks to read that, Aaron.

I vote for the Enkei GTC01RR and then the ZE40.

I'd like to see my set found, but last couple days I think I have to be realistic about it.

this AM I was thinking the GTC01RR as well. then I see pics of the others. I am not sure if I want a black wheel or not... then I like the ZE40 in that blue color and think that would be cool, but that's a lot of money if I get them and it doesn't look like that in person......

not making any decisions soon, just putting a list together

I wish I could help you find them. Any details at all as to what happened? Was there signs of a break-in?

the area of the building they were in isn't that secure. just that they were the only thing taken. they were up 6-7' on a rack. whoever took them likely knew exactly what they were taking.

So it was a storage facility or a private home?

Friend of mine saw a new Nismo Z in Richfield over the weekend. Sadly, it probably belongs to a drug dealer who doesn't care about driving it in the winter.

Ugh you lol, So either it's just the winter mod bug kicking in or what but I'm thinking of possibly getting the louver mod for the Z.. Didn't like it at first but it's starting to grow on me.

I will never put louvers on my Z.
