Default New Wheels & Front end. BACK IN BLACK!


First off, a big thanks to Rob & the guys at
Z car garrage for an excellent job on the Beaks Z.


It's been forever sence I've done any modding on the Z
so I figured it was about time.

Also, special thanks to Jeff at Wheelfire for the suggestion on the wheels.
I'm very pleased with how it all came out.

So, a quick list of mods for anyone curious;
* Wheels: 18 inch hp racing split 5 black chrome lip...staggered
* Front Facia: Stillen
* Springs: Eibach
* Exhaust: magnaflow
* Tint, slotten & drilled rotors, JWT cold air intake

I'm going to wait for new tires. These rims are an inch wider than stock and will allow for wider tires. Gotta go through these first! I could go 15mm with the current tires, but I think I would be much less with an inch or inch and and half wider tire.

hmm, i don't know how if feel about either. That bumper looks like it sits higher than stock. And the wheels, the offset and design doesn't flow well. You def got the scheme down but it needs to be better excuted.

Front sits lower than stock. Still need a grill. As for the wheels, I need spacers. Was going to wait for tires, but what the heck. I can always sell em.

congrats, this is the only Z I have seen with that stillen facia that looks good. Your car pulls it off real nice. Wheels are nice and will look even better with wider tires. Keep it coming.

I actually like the way the wheels sit behind the fender like that. I never understood why wider is the only way to go on the Z. I would say forget the spacers, but you know how that goes here.

What's the offset on them anyways?

I think your Z looks very nice. Just lower it and it'll look perfect.

looks really good. I agree with the comment about not really needing spacers. lower it a little and it will look fine without them.
