Default Finally got pics of my new wheels!

Finally got the 20's on. I luv the fat lip and the size is perfect. I got the tires from DTD for a good price and I couldnt be happier with the setup. Im dropped on hotchkis springs, purchased from gscmotorsports. Enjoy!!

Daaaaaam!!!! Now that's the look that I want to get. What are your specs? Offsets, tire size and wheel size.

Congrats on the new shoes... they look great. How do you like the ride with the Hotchkis springs?

Now you just need a big brake kit or an upgrade to slotted rotors.

Hmm? I'm starting to see more an more Zs/Gs with 20's. We should revive a pic thread dedicated to Zs/Gs with 20's . Someone attempted to create one in the past but it died out because I'm sure not too many had them during that time. What do you say?

Yeah it was at malibu, I was up there just kiilin time playing Tekken 5. Ill challange anyone here to that game. Anyways, thanks guys on all the comments. I love the ride on the springs and the tires are super quiet. I recommend those tires to anyone. They are the bfgoodrich kdw's, 255/30/20 front and 285/30/20 rear. They fit perfect and feel GRRRREAT!!.. As far as body kit and hood im undecided. I got a friend that wants to sell me his carbon fiber hood for a good price so Ill go with that, sorry z boy but the price is extremely low and I can never pass up a good deal, plus he is local. Im looking more towards the nismo or ings n-spec kit but thats later on in the future. Hope I answered all the questions, if not then ask again and I'll get to it.

p.s. I was thinking we should all meet up at Malibu one day and play tekken and maybe race on the gokarts. What do yall think?

Ok guys I need some help. I really like the vertex kit. Where can I get a replica for a good price? I might just go with the sides and front lip and leave my rear splash guards.

Nice! I'm going with this same kit except the full front (when I get my TT) & full rear. I'm currently looking around for just the sides & rear bumper for now so I'll let you know if I get a good deal. Maybe since we're trying to get pretty much the same kit, we can get a group deal .

COOL! I think that lip and side look the best. The only problem Im having is what it would look like with the 20's. The rims on that car are 19's. Anyways let me know if you get a price.

Hey gtnpu z, I noticed earlier that the right side rear was making a clunking noise when I went over bumps at a low speed. I checked it out and everything is nice and tight so Im not sure what it is. I checked the springs and it seems that the left side rear is about 0.5 more compressed then the right side. I called GSC and greg said to leave it alone and let it settle. You have any simliar problems?
