Default Pics don't do DB SFs justice

I have to give a huge thank you to Chris @ F1 Motorsports!

I recently ordered a set of SF Challenges (19s in 9.5/10.5) to replace my stock 17s. I pulled my hair out deciding between gunmetal or diamond black for my Chrome Silver (man, this is a hard color to pick wheels for).

Chris gave me a nudge towards black. Wifey wasn't convinced. I took the gamble. JACKPOT!!!

Here's a couple of quick pics. Couldn't take more because my once skeptical wife snatched the car away from me for a little while (she LOVES the color choice). It's cool b/c I got to wet myself watching her roll out of and back into the driveway. W/ the wider set up, the Z looks like a TANK!

Thinking about the drop. I'm developing the mod bug (already added NISMO exhaust). Before I make up my mind about dropping it, I'll probably do a few quick, inexpensive mods such as clear reflectors and pop charger (already have K&N drop-in).

Speaking of suspension, I haven't noticed a big drop off in ride quality. I was expecting one. NICE!

I now know/understand what folks say when they say their tires are stretched. On the next set I would like to go 255 and 285. Considering my offsets are +28 and +23, I'm not sure if I'd have to roll my fenders with a stock ride height. I'll enjoy my current setup and deal with that later.

Thanks everyone. Feels good to be a member of the SF Challenge fam. I did countless searches of wheels on CS Zs to get ideas but I always kept coming back to the Challenge.

I do think I need a little more black, so tints would do the trick. No disrespect to anyone, but I'm not yet a fan of the smoke reflectors or the overlays. Looking at pics of Will Pwr's CS in the Picture Share forum has me thinking about a CF front lip. Maybe not even a full front lip, just a cover for the middle section of the front (I've seen a car somewhere here w/ that cover).

Thanks!

Man, you threw a softball at me. But, considering my scant number of posts, I'm not even going to mess with you like that

I'll let a vet step up and have fun with that (oops, I didn't mean that the way it sounded).

I'm half joking. But my mom really does like my rims so go figure (although she was like OMGWTF when I told her how much I was spending)
