Not a fan of mesh wheels, but your wheels look nice on the Z.

Thanks for all of your compliments. =)
It does still look a little high for me, especially the rear - but since I drive about 80 miles a day, and it's my daily driver, I have to be practical too. =P
I'm gonna lower the rear just a bit to match the front.

Yeah, I was expecting to get them in 6 months too, but fortunately, I got mine in 3 months...

Unfortunately you are correct... I ordered CE28Ns on Feb 2, 2008... ETA as of now is June 24 or 25

It all depends where you get them. Some shops have em in stock, some dont. I got my Volks from Andy@Performance and they were at my house about 5 days later

It is highly, HIGHLY unlikely that anyone in this country has the wheels I ordered in stock.

Granted, Performance Nissan is one of Mackin's leading vendors, but they would not have gotten these faster than 3-4 moths top.

5 days for CE28N 19 X 8.5 +35 titanium gunmetal... completely unheard of.

5+ moths on the other hand, is longer than should be... anyway - I sit and wait… I have no idea why the vendor I went through takes longer than industry norm but if they don’t come through; they will be scorched on the forums and through friends… I’m counting on them to make this happen – if not, it will be an interesting battle since the wheels have been 100% paid for since Feb 2, 2008 (and funding on my end has been on notice).

My vendor will shine or fail based on this order… the car has a bunch of unique, one of a kind stuff – show-n-tell pending these wheels…

Very nice. What suspension are you running? If not coilovers, you could just trim the spring mounts in the rear for that little extra drop.

nice wheels, i was considering the same exact ones. I have some questions for you if you don't mind.

1. Have you been able to get your TMPS to work?
2. Have you noticed much of a performance hit by going to that size wheel?

Thanks.

Wil

Thanks Galen. I owe it to you for the whole setup... size, offsets, and tire selection. You've been a great help! =)

In fact, I've slammed it (as well as had my SPC camber kits installed, corner balancing and 4-wheel alignment done) last week at Precision Z in Canoga Park, and it looks great. I will post some pics soon - I'm trying to get my friend with his DSLR camera to help me take some nice pics of my baby! =)

Thanks! I have the Tein Flex coilovers... and yes, they have been dropped this past week.

I would love to have the silver Endless BBK installed, but I don't think it would fit with the +17 offset I have in the rear with the SF-Winnings.

Thanks for everyone's positive comments.

To answer your questions Wil:
1. Nope. I didn't manage to have the sensors removed from the stock wheels and transferred over to my new rims - but what I was told, the sensors would not be able to fit in these particular rims. (If that is completely untrue, can someone tell me? I would love to have the TMPS back in. The light is currently on.)
2. I do feel that there is more grip and I do feel a little bit of a resistance. Keep in mind that I've also replaced my stock front camber arms to the SPC front camber arms. The stock arms I believe are much lighter.
