Mercury Silver Volk GT-C's on my Black 350Z. Stock ride height. The wheels are the exact same ones as in Skidazzle's earlier thread. 19x8.5" fronts, 19x9.5" rears. Tires are Toyo Proxies T1S 255/35R19 all four. Now you should be asking yourself "why only 255's on the rear?"! Well I got a killer deal on them, about half price. Also, the 255's are 8 POUNDS lighter than my next alternative SO3 275's. I'm not all that happy with the looks of the 255's though, so will probably upsize soon.

BTW, the car is kind of dirty and it's a cloudy cold day here in KC

Sweeeet.

 

looks good, I agree with you on the 255 in the rear, at least when you upsize, you can use those 255s as spare fronts

 

looks nice!!! where did you get them? and yeah, you need wider tires on the back. i always say, if youre gonna do it, do it right. you coulda saved yourself some money in the long run.

 

I'm runnin mecury silver gt-c's on my superblack with proxe T1-S also...except im runnin 245/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear...im takin pics tonite, so i'll post them soon.....looks good though, its like im lookin at my car in someone elses driveway...

 

Beautiful wheels man

 

Looking good.......I wish I had a magic button that could change my silverstone into black. Atleast when it is really clean.

 

McDAN,

Important question----What Lugs are you using??I'm bout to order a blk set and I have the same wheels as you(on the way) and I need to know how narrow the Lug hole is!! On my old TE-37's,..they had a very narrow hole,.so I used Mcgard Lugs w/ locks,..and they we're like a spline lug and pretty thin--I don't feel like payin that again($100+),...when there's set on ebay that looks perfect!If I'm not mistaken,..these are VOLK lugs!!

but need to know If I need to get a Skinny lug,..or did the stock lugs work?? ANYone w/ GT-C's can answer this,.I need to get them on the way!!! so I can throw ebeyrthingon @ once!!!

PLEASE quick reply!!!!

Thanx guys!

 

You will need the Volk nuts, or at least some of the same style. Those on your link will not work because of the external hex type. The lug holes are very small, and the lug nuts must have an internal hex type drive, the outside of the lugnut is round (I don't know how to better explain it). Stock lug nut styles will not even come close to working.

COool,.thanx,..thats what I thought--So they are the same as my old TE-37's!!! ****...that means I'll have to pay out for another Mcgard set!!!!
well,.they look phatty anyway so thats cool!

thanx McDAN!!had a feelin thats what it was!

 

That is one SCCCCHHHWWEEEEEEEETTT!!!!! RIDE!

 

Many of the new rims seem to have the "allen head" screws on them around the edge. They look good but anyone know whether they would be hard to keep clean?

Does dirt and stuff get into the allen heads and around the screw? If not really looked after do they look dark and dirty??

Just wondering...

 

looks really good, but the rear tire looks alittle stretched out compare with the front tire. but still looks tight!!! volk all the way!

 

Those are the coolest rims ive seen on the Z yet. Im thinking about the Volk AV-3, Do you know if they still make that one. also does anyone know how much that setup is on the black above.

 

hey mcDan.....can you please tell me what the offset is you went with? I am tryint to get that exact wheel and size setup you have but i am not sure what offset to ask for........your setup is the best looking i've seen so far....if you wouldn't mind sharing your offset choice i would greatly appreciate it

thank you

 

Rims are lookin good... is the mercury silver more like the silver or gunmetal type color? and also... i thinking about lowering your car at all? looks like you got a little extra space there... but thats just my opinion!
