Default Got some track wheels

This is a different car with the track wheels... I can not believe how much different (way better) it drives with these wheels... if you have the means I would certainly insist on picking some up.

The lips polish nicely.
Then the wheels look awesome as well.

It does look better. It likely drives better because of the tires though, not the wheels. Tires make an incredible difference when done correctly.

when I say better I mean more responsive, all the talk of lighter wheels etc. seem to be true. Might be my imagination but I sticking with my first thought... (justify the expense I guess). I had a square set of 17's before 245/45's front and rear with the 8" wheels front and back. That could be it, but it just "feels like it should" I suppose.

Nice upgrade, I would recommend some spacers to finish off the look.

I was thinking that as well, first I am gonna change tires and tire size (the Nittos on there are 'bout gone, ntm LOUD AS HELL) I am honestly upgrading for performance first and looks second. How will the spacers effect the tracking, handling, etc (if at all)?

I am pretty well sold on the nissan engineer's vision for this car, seems like everything I do or hear about others doing that is too far off the factory specs ends up breaking **** or costing more than it seems worth to "fit it into nissan spec" kinda thing. Its my DD so I can't go too far off the board with anything that I can't have done by Monday morning.

If I were to do the spacers what (if any) size would anyone recomend?
Thanks for the input!
