Looks great! And, if that is a crappy shot, I can't wait for the Good ones!

What happened to your 17" plans?

I'm an impatient moron. I had specific needs for 17s, all of which entailed long waits. Because I wanted 8.5 and 9.5 with the +30 and +35 offsets, my choices were slim. After going over the numbers again and again, I stuck with 18s because the Kumhos were $275 cheaper per set than than the 245/40, 255/40 S03 set-up I have been running.

I only put about 15 miles on them to run up to snap the pics. I did put them through a half-assed heat cycle in a twisty industrial park and can say they are as sticky as the S03s were.

Good seeing you yesterday as well. I'm still in awe of the "phantom".

Droid..

Although I personally prefer all silver... those LE's do look good on your SS.

Congrats !

The first pic is sweet. Last weekend, I noticed how different the Z looks when it's up in the air and you look at it at the same angle, maybe a little more to the behind and right than you have in that first picture. A little to the behind, to the right and lower (below ground level) and you see the front fender flare. The car looks hot that way and you don't see that look often. It looks terrific from that angle.

Oh, and your wheels kick butt with that color.

Ha. Don't worry about him. He's a local hater with a Friday car. He barely makes the same HP as I do stock after $1200 headers.

Hahahahaha, it's all good. I'm just happy Bradley pulled the trigger on rims. For a while there, I was gettin' tired of his incessant left brain / right brain discussions regarding wheels and tires.

Michael.

And brotha Brad, we talked about this just last night. You may have more peak horsepower, but I got the broader powerband. It's not how long you are, but how long you can go.
