I was going to get matte black but by the time I pulled the trigger they had sold out already, so I went with (see attached). I always wanted black or white rims on my blue Z. Polished lip is OK, though, since it'll still match the polished/chrome looking parts on my Z (i.e., headlights, exhaust, etc).

Now that I have black wheels, I may be able to do what I've been planning to do since like 3+ years ago for my exterior, but we'll see.

On a side note, I ordered a new tow hook since I apparently left my stock one back in TX. This one's much prettier.
+1 on the mismatched aspect ratio. Keep in mind, though, that aspect ratio actually only matters depending on the overall width of the tire. If you have 305s in the rears, then a 35 or maybe even a 30 is more appropriate than a 45 (I'm guessing without calculating, but you get the idea).

BTW, I'm getting 15mm spacers for my rears (18x9.5 +12 all around).
Funny you got those. When I was shopping for my wheels, the FN01R-Cs Hot version (engraved writing vs sticker on the regular version) were all sold by the time I made up my mind. Because I had already decided on getting new wheels, I began looking at Enkeis and was trying to decide between NT03+M, RPF1s, and PF01s (in this order). While I was trying to decide which width and offset to get for each and weighing out pros/cons, the vendor contacted me saying he found me a set of the 5Zigens. So, I went with that and here I am.

BTW, the FN01R-Cs were $600 shipped. I saved over half on the wheels alone + free shipping. Enkeis would've cost more than double that.
Why are you getting 305s? That's way too much width on the tire for whatever power you have.

 

The 45 aspect up front is only temporary until I buy matching front tires and the spacer thing is something Jason suggested a while back when I was looking at getting the weapons in +17 so I hired it would still be close to the same with the battles being +15. Pm price for fender roll please just to be safe cuz my next thing to do after my harness bar and harnesses is going to be coilovers and adjustable arms.

 

Ya chris, the 255/45's are actually a slightly smaller outside diamater when try are on the back but when put on the front the outside diamater is actually slightly larger than oem. I'm not too thrilled about that but since it is only temporary, I'm not to worried about it.

 

I would like to go.

Last I remembered, it was the first Sat of every month.....

Anybody confirm this ?

 

Ya I just checked their website and it was last Saturday. Which was the first Saturday of the month.

 

Ya got mine used...CL style - paid 300 for just 2 of them.. Need to get more!

 

might have been rescheduled cause of weather....Mark - thought you were already going with Dave and Hal...

 

well 305's fit my rim so i figure why not. I have no first gear and no 2nd gear if its above 5k rpm. I can sit there and drift sideways with my foot to the floor. When I eventually make it to 3rd I drift for a little.

Thats with 265's , I didn't think 285's would make that much of a difference so I figured I would jump to the biggest tire my rim would take.

 

^^^LOL

you get rid of those TP's yet?

 

Yup going with Dave/Hayley. Werd on the street it was rescheduled due to the weather.

Maybe that Super Sport will be there...

 

Yeah, you don't have traction because you don't have the right tire for the weather. Even though you live in TX, the temps do drop lower than what the summer tires are meant for. I spin (with less power off the spray) my KDW2 285s in the cold, but that doesn't mean I need to upsize my tires. And if you're referring to dumping the clutch to spin (or launching/starting aggressively on the streets), then FWD civics spin, too.

305s are overkill for what you have and are unnecessarily expensive. It'll look beefy as hell, though. Beefy > stretched.

BTW, aren't you on stock Nismo wheels? Recommended wheel widths for 305s are 10-12 inches.

 

Good point. Weather last Saturday wasn't really condusive to having a car meet.

 

theres about 16 g's going to cars and coffee tomorrow morning and then rolling out to the rkc meet. they're meeting at maggianos in the am if anyone wants to go.

I wont be there but just filling peopel in.

 

btw, where did you get them for that price? and specs? thanks!

 

The vendor doesn't have much in stock anymore. I got the very last set of 18s you'd want for a Z/G and he had to order from a place in Cali himself to get it to me. He's sold out of everything at that price now and put up the rest on eBay (for a higher price).

Mine are 18x9.5 +12 all around.

 

Does anyone have contact info for "blue20051"? I need to get ahold of him.

 

Where is everyone eating before rkc today? I'm about to throw up smelling all the exhaust from this group of charger idiots...

 

DNE meet anyone? champs in addison at 5pm... i'll be there in the g along with a couple other people

 

Darn wheel studs aren't playing nice. Doing them at jakes house tomorrow morning. Gonna go ahead and knock out my nismo pads and my neutral position sensor now though.

 

Is anybody still sober???
