Default For Local Sale Only: 18 x 9 Wheels - Shuk W21 / Seattle Area

18 x 9 Wheels (21.1 lbs / 38mm offset) from '04 350Z / No Curb Rash / Excellent Condition / Used Only 3 months / $700

I'm going to remove the Kuhmo ECSTA MX tires (245/40/18 & 275/40/18) and install them on my new car. Pay no attention to the date on the photos, as I just replaced the batteries today and the date was not reset (camera mfg in 2005?).

I picked the tire/wheel combo up from Tire Rack back in July and used them until October on my '04, when I put the stock wheels on with winter tires. I had the offset and stuff documented, but just can't find the files.......... I might have to call Tire Rack and see if they can look it up for me.

Also, not sure why camera reset to Feb of '05 as default. Might have been when it was made.

After I remove the tires from the wheels, I'll weigh them and repost. I wish these had the same bolt pattern as my Solstice, as I really like the looks of these.

I called Tire Rack and they looked up my order. The offset is 38mm, and the wheel weights are 21.1 lbs each. I've now got them boxed up and will put them away for a while. The wheels I bought for my Solstice GXP are almost identical to these, so I guess you could say I'm a fan of this look.

I might add, these wheels did make a big difference from the overall 'feel' of the steering compared to the stock wheels. Sort of like going from hiking boots to running shoes........ Feel free to PM me if anyone wants to take a look at 'em.

Yeah , I guess they are classified the same as a miata in Auto x? from what I heard from the miata guys, your car basically handles like one but has oodles more power FTW! sends shivers up thier spines

BTW its a nice looking car

Thanks. There isn't as much aftermarket items available for these just yet, not like the Z's. Still need to drop the car about an inch or so. The GXP, though, does have a lot more power than the N/A Solstice.

GM needs to step up to the plate, though, like Nissan has with Nismo parts, etc.... I don't think they are seeing the bigger picture and those that want to customize their cars.
