thanks! I'm new to all this and am planning to get a lip kit, rims, and maybe a couple other things on my z so I'm just browsing around to get some ideas. I have to admit rims and lowering the car is a lot more complicated than i thought it would be but I'd rather have it done right. Thanks again.

I have bronze Nismo wheels on DD 350Z that was DD in the winter. With salt and brake dust on it, aftr cleaning I see some spots on the wheels that I am not able to clean. Any suggestions as to how to clean them? I will post pics if needed.

I am afraid the wheels are pitted. Your option is to take the wheel to a professional wheel refinisher to have the wheel surfaces stripped, treated or machined, and then refinished. Wheels America is one vendor chain that is not local to the DFW area I am familiar with.

Ouch, sorry to see that.

For sure refer to a professional. I normally treat my wheels in the same fashion as my paint. Mostly soap/water/ quick detailer/ claybar but nothing harsher than that.

Me too. Couldn't agree more.

I am also a believer/user of Wheel Wax in addition to the above. Here in Texas, we seldom get harsh salts down on the roads (this past month was an exception -- see Super Bowl weather. Yuk!), but wax also makes cleaning dirt off much easier.

I want to buy a nice set of LMGT4s (19' only). Please PM me if you have a set for sale. I've had a post on the WTB for a few weeks now but sellers haven't come through thus far for what I'm looking for. Thanks.

^^ Very nice!!!

In upper right wheel, is that just a reflection or a smudge? Hopefully, just light/reflection. Good luck and post pics once on your car!

That would be my car. I actually decided to change things up so the Nismo's will be up for sale sometime in April, assuming my Work's wont be delayed because of the stuff happening in Japan.

+1
I messed up a passenger side 15mm spacer while doin some mountain runs... I wouldn't recommend spacers on front for heavy heavy use... (15mm Ichiba V2 w hubcentric rings)
Love the black btw!
