Default Volk in Vegas..........

I just had my TE-37's and Toyo's installed, and it's amazing just how much the bigger, wider package adds to the aggressive look of the car. Nissan really should have offered a setup like this from the factory, but then again, I guess we wouldn't have the fun (and expense!) of modifying our cars.

I'm going to take the car down to the strip this weekend and grab some neon-type Vegas shots. I'll post some of those as soon as I can get it done. The PPW white looks great under the neon!

I agree, I think that angle is an AWESOME angle for the Z with 19" wheels and aggressive offsets (sort of reminds me of the 911 C4S with teh wide fender flares, the wheels really show that flare off MUCH more!!)

NICE JOB

I still need a pic of my car at that angle (keep forgetting)

It does hint at a wide body Porsche. I'll bet that if Nissan does a Twin Turbo or some other high performance version, it will encorporate wider rear flares, just like the Porsche does. I'm actually waiting for somebody to modify their Z like that....I'm sure it would look amazing.

I'm glad you like the spoiler! Those HRE's look great as well.

Still haven't gotten those neon shots, but here's the strip in the distance.

What amazes me is how much better the car rides with the Toyo's, even though I lost an inch of sidewall. Those Bridgestones must really suck.
