Doesn't have to be but it does look a hell of a lot better dropped at least an inch especially if you add a bodykit. I have 20's as well & dropped mine an inch (see sig link for pics. current pics at last page.).

sick car btw...

These Stern ST-1 Face III Beast came with the 350z roadster that I test drove today in san jose..

does anyone know who owned this car prior to trading it in??? (long shot here)

What are these wheels worth new w/ tires?

Thanks!

Sorry bro...no clue as to who owned this Z. I know the 19's are around the mid 300 range (new) for each wheel so I'd guess these would be around 400ish each without tires.

i noticed when i drove this 2004 350zr that the car really pulled to the right...

seems like an alignment issue or feathering or wheels?

This is a known issue & is usually fixed by a proper alignment. I would say the tires as well because some of the older versions had a bad design but since this has aftermarket wheels + tires, this shouldn't be the case. I'd still check, however, if the front tires has excessive wear on the inner portion. The previous owner probably slapped on the new wheels & never got his wheels aligned. If it does look worn, you may need new tires as well.

it's a 2004.5 build ie after 10/2003

it was built on 3/2004

Knowing that this is an issue, should I still go ahead and buy the car? Maybe at a lesser price?

This car has 19k miles on it... will nissan fix this issue for me even if I am the 2nd owner and bought it used? Note: I am not getting it from a Nissan Dealership
