BTW that car is AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!
....the gunmetal and bronze TE37s have always been my dream wheels (like a lot of people, no secret there) ....However I was thinking that the two piece Gram Light 57Pros would be the wheel I would get for my Z....but after seeing your car, there is no way I would put anything but TE37s as well (18s only though ....19s are just too expensive for me).

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!

Oh man.. that's totally allright, i'm very very flattered
. BTW, i will try to take more pictures, the ones that I took were sort of ad hoc. I wanted to get them up ASAP and just found an empty parking lot (Bad lighting) and snapped a few. I had to go to the stereo shop later that day to get new tweeters done, along with the LED's and the Injen intake.. It was a LOONG day, but a good one

By the way, Z461, just stunning wheels. Mine won't be here until next week, seeing as how I'm on the East Coast, and may not even be going on the car until March
Guess I'm the only one ballsy (or stupid) enough to get bronze though
