i couldnt agree more, i initially was going to sell my stock rims which you could easily get 700+ if u throw the tires in but i kind of like the rims and with a black finish i think theyll look sick...if you go to the galleries on one of the first few pages a guy just put up pics of a black z with the same rims you have painted black check it out

You can either go for looks or spend thousands on FI (or n/a build).

Sure you can buy plenum spacers, plenums, intakes, exhausts, etc... but oh goody, you spent $2500 for 25 horsepower.

keep your rims the way they are. The wheels you have look just fine for stock rims. If you want to get new wheels just get new wheels. If you are going for engine modifications then put your money toward that.

yeah that is exactly how your rims are going to look after he coats them......cheap!!

Nicks93090

nope he did my friends r32.. and hes had them for 4 months and they still look awesome no scratches none of the coat is off..

how much would it be to just get new tires/rims suspension?

iTrader: (5)

it depends what type of suspension you are looking into. you could get springs for 250-300 or get full coilover setup for 1000-3000. Same applies for tires. What ever you do please dont go to cheap on a 350z its not a civic.

in about a month im spending 2k on my exhaust making it into a single.. im not a cheap guy i only get the best for my car but i think im just gunna see what the black looks like and if i actually like it ill put real black rims and new tires on it... and ill prolyl do the coilover setup.. its gotta be much better yea?

well have fun with it. What single exhaust are you planning on going with, 2k seems like quite a bit for a single. I have nismo and i paid 1k like years ago.

Nicks93090

i dunno i was at a meet a week back and some dude had the whole majic setup and i really liked it... it sounded nice and all.. and i search online and every site i go to.. its like 3k and i found for 2k..
by single exhaust i mean exit exhaust just thrown out there..
lol som peeps get confused.

Ok i see!! well have fun modding your car. You ever plan on going turbo i think n/a mods are a waste of money but that is me. Your car will be faster but nothing really noticeable like FI.

Nicks93090

i have 6 gs right now saved up for mods.. hopefully by september.. ill have a turbo put in.. thinking of going single... dunno yet.. ill have to do much more research befor i blow my warranty haha

lol i hear you. If you are going single i would advise you to go with the powerlab single setup.

Just keep in mind that 6g is really not a lot of money when it comes to modding a 350z. Good wheels and tires cost 3g's, nice exhaust 1k+, good suspension 1k+, turboz done right 10k+, pretty aesthetic stuff 1-3k... it adds up fast.

Cheap coating sounds like a mess a few months down the road and replacing rims. I would leave them alone or replace them when you see the rims you want at the right price!
