Default How many sets of wheels.....

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

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.

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

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...
