You guys reminded me to take a walk down Nismo Wheels Thread lane and it was funny to see my car as the third post on this thread.

5 years, 4 sets of tires and still have not seen something I would replace them with.

I had these wheels on my last Z, sold the car, owned 4 cars since then (including E46 M3 which I was hugely disappointed with), missed the feel of the Z so I got my current one, and bought my LMs back from the person I sold them to for this Z. There is literally nothing else I like.

Same here: 8 years, 6 sets of tires, two sets of rims (street and track), and I still love the LM GT4s!

Why did you take them off? They went so well with the color of your z

I recently switched from these red Titek extendeds:

To these short black Muteki's

Now that I switched to the shorter lugs the 10-hole design of the wheel is more pronounced, I am not going to run longer lugs anymore!

Your Z is so clean Angelo, I never see anyone with that color.

Thanks Angelo, I really wanted to get the 40th Anniversary brakes like you but I couldn't pass up the deal I was getting on these Brembos

Clean Z, I would just recommend some spacers.

Can you provide a list of specs on your car? Is your roof painted black?

I have a red one I'd like to look just like yours, except with whatever my stock Grand Touring RAYS wheels are... Painted or powdercoated black

Thanks a lot to MIKE the powdercoater for the nismo stickers...

I had spacers with these wheels on my last Z and not really a fan of it. In my opinion, the car needs to be slammed for it to look right. That's not really practical unless you just look at it and don't drive it like its meant to be. At the proper height for optimal performance, the "hellaflush" look doesn't really work. My car was put together function before form, and spacers + lower would go against that.

The car was already pretty low in these shots. Much lower and it wouldn't have been very fun to drive.

275/40/18 rear, 245/40/18 front. Standard issue 18x8.5 +25 / 18x9.5 +30 sizes. Those pictures of my Brickyard where it looks stupid are with 25mm Concept-Z rear spacers.
