Default Bronze TE37s on SB

took a while, and a bit of stress, but their finally there. I had only seen that one SB with bronze te's and in the photos they looked quite bright. but man... they arent, and they are dead sexy. a real dark bronze, like gold gunmetal. incredable appearance in person. you can feel the difference as well, not sure if its the weight or the different tread thats on them, but the ride is smoother, I would swear it helped with the bouncy ride. and when you hit large bumps the suspension takes it more rather than the car popping up.

handling is impecable, and it has not missed a step yet. tho I havent tried very hard, but even regular turns it takes with extreme confidence, not bouncing or skipping.

not to mention the 9.5" rears finally seperate the Z from all the other cars on the road, no longer will the tires be confused with those on sedans.

during balancing the guy bout crapped his pants when they came in 3ounces off. unheard of he said.

I got 18" by the way, which might be why the ride was a bit smoother.

Ill take pictures tomarrow, by the time I finished washing it up it was dark out.

I'm STILL fighting with R&D to get mine. There needs to be a sticky so we can report bad experiences with vendors-

What kind of tires are you running? S03s?

actually I have bridgestone eagle F1 GS on back, and toyo proxies T1-S on front, the tire guy gave the ok to do 2 different brands as long as they have the same tread pattern, which they do.

yeah, the blue came with the rims, so to make things easier we brought the rims to where we bought the tires, and they mounted them for free. but we didnt have the TPM from the old rims, so just went without them, we're gonna put the tpm in this weekend hopefully. but in the meantime, the car drives. otherwise we had to transport 4 rims 4tires, and 4 rims and tires. all to a tire shop in athens, while the Z sat on blocks, this way we just bring old tires in, drive Z in, and let them do one tire at a time, whenever we get a chance.
