I'm on vacation on the east coast so I'll come by to check them out when I come back in 2 weeks.

Derek,
You should buy my wheels
Though they are not 20s ... they are extremely agressive and look fantastic on a G35c THey got great tread left on the near new GS-D3s Josh ... these would alleviate your traction problem for sure ....
... perfect condition ... just no use for em anymore.

It's somewhat tempting, yeah, it'll solve my traction problems, but on the flip side, I'm worried about the performance drop with the 19's...

Josh, you know how my car took off when I drove you in it. No traction issues at all.
Look ... you buy em and if you don't see a tenth or better off your 0-60 .. give em back for a full refund

Not to take this issue off topic, but I've often wondered whether your Z was unusually faster than others. You said you trapped @ 105 in stock form? And stayed level with a E46 M3? Pretty damn fast if you ask me.
Back on topic: I'll definately consider it, but you also have to keep in mind that I have the stock brakes (non-Brembo) and I wonder how deceleration will be affected by having these heavy 19's.
I guess bottom line, I'm a darkhorse candidate as opposed to a "for-sure" buyer...you're talking to a man that is about to expire his warranty and is saving up for a TN kit!

Yes I do. What condition is it in and how much? I'm talking with someone from up north right now that has a spare engine, but it was pulled from a car that was in a head on collision. He wants $1,500.00 and it needs some replacement parts. P.M. me and let me know, or call me. And Andy, I think Charles' G is still in his garage down here if I'm not mistaken.
Later,
Ray

Well ... let me know. Given the chance to do my Z all over again. I would do wheels/tires, coilovers, turbo. In that order.
It takes $10k to make the perfect street Z ... and I guess it really doesn't matter how you get there .. just as long as you do. I'd rather look good and grip right on my way to the top than to have a high-powered uncontrollable traction isssue until I upgraded again
but thats just me
