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.

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.

+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".
