You'll be fine. I have the 275's in the rear now & when those are worn out, I'll be going with 285's.

I was close to getting a set of these for my hypothetical Black Z but held off for the same reason. If I wanted a hella dark rim I'd just go with matte black or diamond black or gloss black or (insert random name) black. There's a gang of options if you want a dark GTS wheel. The look of the Ti Gunmetal changes dramatically in various lighting conditions. In the end I went with Mercury Silver since it matched the door handles well and had a sort of classic look that I have yet to grow tired of after years of purchasing aftermarket rims for all my cars. They should be arriving next week. Car should be here in a month or 2. Waiting sucks.

I love it, order wheels first then , car arrives!!

Ive got a black 350z ST on a boat coming over from japan as we speak, and all i can do is plan what i wonna do to it. . . love it. . . . . .

Its a moddin' thing

This guy has a standard, black 350z with mercury silver GTS's and to be honest, im not liking the look, just doesnt look 'right'.







Ive decided i know what it is. . .

To look good really has to be lowered, i know its a no brainer, but it really is the difference with 19"'s. Front lip helps the look too, other wise its 'nice wheels' not, 'nice car' if ya get me. . .

My favorite pic from his photos.

Yeah... my problem with this car here is: Everything is stock except rims. Gotta drop it at least. Could use some tire black too. I'm planning to go with a mild drop, Nismo skirts, V2 bumper without canyards (if it's cool with the 07 that is), 35% tint all around minus windshield for starters. Undecided on a spoiler at this point, if I even decide to get one at all. This guys Z just looks like work in progress to me. Nice brakes though.
