JEREMY!!!

I'm interested in the Silver TE-37s! Couple of questions...

- First, how much???
- Have you seen the silver in person? Can you tell me if it is close to matching the door handle color?
- How hard will it be for me to get my tire pressure sensors on the TE-37s?
- What sort of rubber would you recommend for these babies? I was thinking some Bridgestone S-03s if they can be had in the right size...

Write me at mcduck@earthlink.net...

oh man, I've been waiting for months to see a CS with gunmetal TE37s.
freakin beautiful...man oh man, I knew this is the set up I will have on my Z (when I get it) but I never thought it would look THAT great.
Thanks for the pics. Someone said the best looking 350Z to date, I agree.

Are those stock height / suspension on the car? Any problems with the stock tire pressure sensors, and any rubbing?

Congrads Chris......

The TE37 is a forged rim and therfore a strong rim. Any rim will bend if its abused or curbed. With the 35 series sidewall/width combo, you still have good protection.

Question Tire Pressure Sensors?

Congrats! Sweet looking!
Looks like you mounted the original Tire Pressure Sensors - is that correct?

well I cant afford it anyway, not yet. but if you have them to sell, you should be sure to put a post in the classified section, you should be able to put a price on it in there.

The price i got was a special price, but i'll say it was around 600 a rim. Jeremy's got great pricing on the TE37's... For you guys looking for them, i'd definately hit him up if you want the gunmetal, and R&D for the silvers... Let me tell you, the car gets SOOO many more looks now than before! And before it was already a looker...

Umm.. that IS the stock suspension. I have about 2 finger gap in the front and about 1.5 finger gap in back... I don't even know if I need to lower the car now, because it sits so nicely. Those pics don't show it perfectly, however, because the ground is kind of sloped, and one wheel is sitting in a little water ditch (that white thing in the blacktop).

NO RUBBING! hehe.. and the tire pressure sensors are hard to put on the wheel because you have to make sure when you mount the tire that they don't jam the sensor, but they fit PERFECTLY and WORK too!

I've been wanting to make a simple 350Z desktop image for a while, I used one of your images I hope that was okay.

Forgive my ignorance but is it the 22 offset that you have that moves the wheels out of the wells vs the stock 30?

Also, can you use the Nissan caps in the center?

That looks perfect from the rear, I wish the stocks were pushed out that far.
