sry110, believe me dude, you will not be disappointed, Bruce did an engine transplant with a 6.0 CAdillac escalade motor into a camaro and it worked out great, he lowered my old car and my dad's truck, he does nothing but the best, you'll have to let me know how it works out and I definitely wanna see how it looks lowered with those wheels!

ahh springs around the corner and i still havent found the "perfect" set of used rims...
since i last posted about peeps in the northeast not having rims for sale theres still been little to no local action on the classifieds...
although i admit i'm being a bit picky.... its like i have this image in my head of the style of rim i want and its hard to come across not just the right one but in the price range im working with.
ahh well... i'll just keep scowering the forums night and day! lol
the weathers been so crappy in the poconos i've only gotten one good day to drive the z around.. of course i brought it home filthy since the roads are disgusting with melted snow and dirt everywhere

they are bound to get a little messed up from daily driving around here.
so i'm going to continue to look for something 19" used with tires in the 1300 to 1500 range.
probably end up with something the Axis, Racing Hart etc. category.

These are my 19in staggered Tenzo GF7's. I bought them for a little under 2 grand with tires and am very satisfied with them so far. I use my stock 17's in the winter and these in the spring, summer, and most of the fall.

nice! did you buy them new or used for under 2k?
I feel the more and more i look at wheels online and in the classifieds (which is probably like 3 hours a day! haha) I think i NEED, not want lol
, some black rims with a polished lip on my chrome silver Z.
I cant get over how sharp it looks, and in fact i used to hate black rims.. now.. cant get enough of them!

I ordered tires from www.tiredeals4less.com, they advertise up top and I got 4 Toyo T1R's from them, (255/35ZR19 front and 275/35ZR19 rear) and they pretty much beat anyone's price by like $200, and they had awesome customer service .
