joe they don't make them in 19 for the Z. Offset is wrong.

Z goes to the body shop this week for some minor repairs, and then on go wheels and springs. So, pictures with them on might take a few weeks.

Don't worry I won't forget pictures. Going to ***** it up haha. New wheels, and also it will have newly painted front bumper so it will be mint. I am hoping I can move the plate down to the black section of the bumper rather than on the white. Not sure where to get the bracket from though. Probably have to have it or Geico will insist on installing on the bumper since its required by CT law.

Looking into it. I have a link.

Might just ziptie it -- seems to work well for people and I would prefer the plate to be off-center.

Z got dropped off at the shop today -- said it will take at least one week, possibly two get it all fixed up. FTL. Freaking have to get parts from Japan likely will hold up it (ie sideskirts).

Alot lol. Not Volk prices but expensive. I rather not post prices since I bought from a vendor here (Z1) and ordered some other stuff to go with it so cost may vary. AME is supposedly a "luxury" line by Enkei, like Infiniti is for Nissan. So I've heard.

It's not exactly a luxury line, but rather a different division which is still made by Enkei.

Mah centercaps say AME, but mah wheels say Enkei... The tracers are going through identity crisis

Sorry friends -- 350Z is still in the body shop. Ordering parts from everywhere FTL.

While it has been at the shop though, it is getting quite the makeover. They are fixing the dent I have, and replacing the entire front bumper. Freshly painted, and there will be no license plates attached. I also ordered a JP Vizage/Aero Type B spoiler the other day that will be installed as well.

The wheels will be once the car is out of the shop. They say mid-end of next week I should get the Z back, so hopefully that weekend or the following I can at least get the wheels on. Springs might take a little more time.

There will be some pictures, trust.

Alright! I went to the body shop today, talked to the guy and flipped the spoiler this way and that until we figured out the correct fit. They are painting today and tomorrow and I am going to get the car back Weds/Thurs.

The wheels should go on this weekend, but not with the springs yet. Those will have to wait until the following weekend (I hope that is all).

So do you want pictures with wheels, before lowered, or wait until the wheels are on and its lowered. I am taking pics of both, but what do you want to see? I think a nice side-by-side would help out a lot of people out here (wondering difference between stock ride height on 18s and lowered, but not a lot).
