Thanks man. Just can't wait for my Full Vertex Kit & Blitz Wing to come in! I just have a couple of more weeks to go before I get it . BTW...weren't you getting a kit too? I think a front lip will really make your current stance more aggressive. Either way, your car looks bad a**.

For being 33 you sure seem to have a bad memory already.
Ya your absolutely right gramps... i said my 350z with my "CAI" was the fastest thing on the road...
Thats like me sayn your z28 is the fastest muscle car ever.

Cant wait to see the car when its all done. I was thinking of the blitz spoiler myself, seems to be the only nice one for the car. About the kit, I ordered last friday from performancenissan and should get it in this week sometime. I ended up ordering the nismo front and sides. I was going to get the rear, but I think the rear looks just fine as is. Im also working on my audio. Ill post pics as soon as all of its done. Im trying to get it all complete for that show in Temple Texas so I can possibly bring myslef a little trophy home. Wish me luck!

Nice choice! That kit is aggressive but clean & will look especially bad a** on a SB. Look forward to those pics as well. Good luck!

dood- why get a sports car with AT?? think about partner...my 20" aren't meant for racing that's why i have a set of 17".. besides you're gonna need a lot more than the CAI combined with the AT to scare anyone.... i'm sure with my 20", you'll also be looking at my LEDs...

I'm not waiting on anybody to "give them to me." I don't have any "mods" listed, because I don't have, nor do I want any. My Z is a low 14-high 13 second car, and right now thats fast enough for me. I bought the car to cruise around with my wife, not street race. My other car is a 6 speed '94 Z28 with a forged bottom-end 383 stroker with all the goodies including a 12 lb. ATI blower. It run high 11's on street tires and pump gas. Trust me youngster, if your idea of "mods" are test pipes and clear corners, I'd smoke your *** using only the even numbered gears. Now, go do your homework, cause you're getting on Daddy's nerves....
good one...i think we should stop picking on tha boy..he may shed a tear or two...actually gaklid, maybe you should be more nice since you're an old fart.. you can leave it to me since i'm still in my TWENTIES, 29 to be exact...
so cloudy - how much did mommy and daddy pay for your ride...also, i guess since you're a dub hater, you bought some 19"...so how much did your mommy spend on new shoes for ya...talk to us when you learn how to drive that baby of yours in a manual...

superhung, solidsnake, GTN, and xxlbeerz - your Zs are mean lookin!!

keep the pics coming...they're sooo sexy...

nope.....I'm getting really pissed I still havent gotten them back from the polisher , If I knew it was going to take this long I would of order a new set of wheels. I dont think I will be selling the rims though. I'm going to call the guy today to see whats up.....depending on how much longer its going to take I might just order a new set of wheels

sorry to hear about the delay on your wheels..they're still my favorite and let me know if you decide to sell them again....i'll most likely repost mine up for sale in the fall\winter...i didn't feel like waiting 6-8 weeks for a new set...

19's for me. They are big enough and I am not into trying feel up my entire wheel well. 19's fit great and I will take care of the gap with suspension.....but don't you think these 24's would look really great on a 350z?

Dayum that car looks crazy .

I'm glad 19's work for you. I guess the point here is that whatever wheel you get, it's all about execution (as GQ pointed out earlier). You can put on 18", 19", or 20" but if you don't pic out a style that goes with the car & don't adjust it the the proper stance, it's going to look fugly either way.

Not sure about the ride quality without lowering but whether you get 19's or 20's, you'll have to lower your car to a certain degree to allow it to have that proper look/stance. I personally lowered mine no more than 1" & the stance/drop is perfect IMO. I don't really scrape everwhere but that doesn't mean I don't scrape. Obviously there are some places that even you're not dropped, you'll scrape. Might want to talk to Srivero297 who just got some 20" GT-C's. He's currently on stocks at the moment but he's going to eventually lower it with Teins.

I'd never get 20" or even 19" for that matter. If I ever get wheels, it'll be light weight 18".

With that aside, some of the 20" pics posted here look absolutely AWESOME!!!!!! I think larger wheels are a GREAT show mod! Keep the pics coming!
