Thanks for the great pictures. Do you love them? I have ordered he very same rims in 19's. I did not see what your's were before I started typing. UpS tracking says mine will get here on Friday the seventh. I think my car will be out of the paint shop early this week. I'm so excited. Thanks again for the pictures. Please give me your opinion of these kick *** rims.

If you guys don't mind me asking.... Where did you got your wheels? Are they available in gun-metal?

They come in Black or all Chrome only. I will be right back with contact info for where I purchased them. I feel like the price was good for a true two piece forged rim made by Rays Engineering. (3500 with tires)

I paid 2k without tires from 350zonline.com

I put a layer of Zaino on them as soon as they got in.

Edit: Mine took a little less than 2 weeks to get here. Not too bad IMO.

I absolutly LOVE these rims, they make the car look sooooo much better. It rides/handles better too.

markuchi777@yahoo.com is the email address of MArk who sold me the rims and tires. The price was reduced due to the delay in ordering the rims. It has been a month long process so I forget what site i was originally shopping on. Sorry I dont have any more information.

Sounds like you got a very good deal. I still believe I am going to be very happy with the rims. I was just reading posts here and saw maguires (sp?) Z with the same rims i think.

Mine is black and it has been in the shop the past three weeks getting painted blacker. Really just having a show car paint job (in black again) applied. I just drove to the shop to check the progress and it looks like it will be finished tomorrow. Like I said above, the rims will come in on friday so I should be ready for pictures come first of next week.

I am interested i the springs and struts. How much do they drop the stance? Are they difficult to install? Why are taking them off? How much are they worth? Thanks for your help. Rob

+1 on what a gram light is?

And, I want to lower my car soon. I'm just afraid of rubbing on that bolt at the top of the wheel well up front. That, and as it is I scrape going into/out of certain places.

Does anyone know of any problems I may face if I lower my car?

I've had mine lowered for years (see sig) and don't have any problems w/ rubbing nor need to roll fenders.

A problem you will encounter as a consequence of lowering the car is a condition called "350Z Mod-itis"

Here's my current stage of "350Z Mod-itis".
