ahh, the infamous GT-S wheels. I loved mine. IMO one of the best looking wheels you can buy for the Z. Sometimes I still wish they hadn't gotten stolen. They look even better on my moms mustang now though.

Just for the record, I really don't intend auto-xing etc but if I find that the understeer is really bad I will change to something more sticky down the road, just want to get this done and I at least want to match brands between front and rear.

So, who's gonna come round with a jack to help me change them once they are here, if they get here by BOTI I'm gonna need some help to get them changed.
Just let me know when to bring the jack and the umbrella over k?

Will do, drew is also coming round to help I'm thinking of buying some spacers just in case, I can always sell them if I don't need them ...

I also need to find out if I have 10 open end lugs because of the longer studs that I have in the back ...

Can't wait !!!

What happened to wanting to be more classy and staying away from Volks?

Just giving you shiet. Wheels look good.


Just between you and me (well, this forum too lol), when I first saw your car I was like "daaammmnnn", but when I saw your rims, I was like "Axxxiissss??? aw shiat why"
Glad you stepped up son.
