I was wondering since I see alot of Z's change wheels how many sets of wheels changed since you got the Z and if so post pics of the before and after setup. I know alot have got the volks and then sold them and changed to something new. Here is my old and new setup on my Z

Old RPM 505 Hyper Silver 18x8 & 18x9 - Stock Bridgestone Sh1tenza's


New Axis Hiros Silver 19x8.5 & 19x9.5 - Toyo Proxis T1R's

 

19" GT-C



to 20" Maido GR5



Stock:

 

any improvement in going with 20's in the ride quality ?? What tires did you have then and now?

 

The front, you can feel it when you turn your wheel. Same ride quality compare to 19".

Some people saying with 20", you will lost performance, i don't see it that way. I use 19" then 20", nothing different.

Wow Rick I don't think I've ever seen your car stock like that..wow a long time ago huh

 

Nice evolution of the styling rick

 

That pic was taken after 3-4 weeks of ownership hahaha

 

the Meister make it looks totally different. Someone buy my Maido so i can get the 20" Meister. :-)

 

LOL here is the FIRST pic I have of my Z BRAND SPANKING NEW in May 03. I left my 02 Altima 3.5 at the dealer and came back later to get it ( car in front ). The Z of course was driven home first. I almost got the DB but when the sunlight hit the Lemans I was sold......Man I still remember the first drive home and the looks I got in this car ...priceless

 

Me too... "don't stall, don't stall, don't stall, don't stall..." hehe this is the first M/T I've owned, I knew how to drive M/T just not perfectly

 

Haha, yeah brings back memories with this damn money pit

 

Hahah, yeah the first drive home I was on the 405 North and some middle aged guy in a CS Z had a Nismo exhaust and Nismo wheels. I felt so stock, so I went to the Honda dealer and bought my S2k antenna! I showed him

 

Same here the Altima was a Auto so the Z was a new experience being that it was a 6spd. I driven manual but only on a tractor trailer ( semi ) 10 spd but never a maual car before. I was nervous to say the least since on a truck you don't need the clutch to shift it's all about matching revs to engage.

 

Yeah man, I know the stock feeling... it feels boring
When I told my parents that I was going to spend some of my hard earned savings on rims they were like "WTF UR CRAZY BOI!!!"

I had to call up my financial guy to have him cut me a check and he was like "................................................I cannot recommend taking your invested money out to buy rims, but it is YOUR money"

Hahaha, I showed them too

lucky i'm not giving them old folks a heart attack by dropping $7k on an APS TT


Edit: Sorry man I think I completely derailed this thread... already...
