Default Pic of my ATS 18's with 235/275 Nitto's

It looks like I made need to reduce the air pressure a little more in the rear but I can live with it.

I also somehow captured an Alien in this photograph, very wierd, I am going to send this pic to the National Inquirer!

Look against the fence at the top of the photo!

Alien sited spying on my Z!

Not my style of wheel and I didn't llike them when you posted just the wheel pic.....but, I must say they look much better on the Z. I never would have guessed they would look that good. Nice job and congrats.

Default Thanks all

Best thing about them is the weight and finish (to me at least.)

If they had been 10 spoke or chrome the wife would have noticed and I would be in the dog house.

About a month now (?) and she hasn't even noticed despite the fact she parks right next to me in the garage daily.

This was my cars first official bath.

I have everything for a full detail (clay bar, polish etc) I just need the time to do it.

I used to play those games too, NOW my wife knows and now that she is involved in teh SEARCH for the perfect wheel, the $$ will come out of "Our account" VS my "stealth money" and she understands that to get a great wheel/tire, I am looking at $2500-3500 so now I can get a better set-up than I was before

You have broken a top secret code them. PM me the code data ASAP because this is my 3rd car I have modded and it's getting scary. Hiding UPS boxes etc!

The exhaust was a dead give away, I was cold busted on that one. I came in at about 2k but I sold my stock tire/rims to a guy in Canada. In fact I haven't heard from him since long before Christmas. He is on vacation "where there isn't any electricty" lol.

One thing I *did* notice after washing my Z is it has allot of Orange Peel. It needs a good carnuba clay bar and polish job for sure to get it flat. I may pay someone to do this right like I did with my FireHawk.

Edit add, a stock wheel and tire in a plain box came it at 60 lbs at the USPS scale!

LOL, I used to do it with bike parts (I use to work at a shop so I really didn't pay much out of pocket $$ there) stereo stuff and car mods.

btw, what is an "earthing kit" I see a lot of people with that, what is it?? (sorry for a dumb question)

It's a mod that grounds your car. It's a factory option in Japan. Go figure!

Read On! Lot's to read about it with pics.

Great looking wheels. They really set your car off nicely.

Everyone's Z is unique in it's own little way I guess.
Even subtle little things.
