Got them from www.wheelsboutique.com ! I talked to Ben @ ext. 201, he rocked!

I'll post pics as soon as I get them, probably won't be till next week.

Let me know how you like your wheels. I came across wheelboutique's ad in an Import Car mag a few months ago...and was impressed w/ the $330/wheel (19") for these Se7en Mods. Lowest price ive seen thus far.

Hey nissan350z,

I got my fronts today from WheelsBoutique.com. The packaging was GREAT! The box was padded on the outsides of the wheel with large closed cell foam inserts and the wheel had about 3 layers of that stretchy plastic wrap stuff; it was airtight! lol You could play it like a drum.

The rims are in perfect shape, mounted, balanced, valve stems, etc.

Rears should be here soon.

So far, I highly recommend dealing with these guys. If you decide to, ask for Ben; tell him Jeffrey that ordered the 20" Axis sent ya.

Oh, and they arrived a day early. Bonus.

GREAT!! I was a little hesitant to order from them. But now I'm much more confident since someone I "know" has had a good experience with them.

Well, granted I don't have all four yet because as I said, two came from Florida and two from Cali. But honestly, I don't forcast any problems.

I will post for sure when I get the other set.

Actually (I just tracked them again), UPS screwed up. One wheel will be here tomorrow (again a day early) and one will be here Monday. UPS f'd up and didn't get both boxes on a transfer and one went someplace else. Stupid bastards! (I just called UPS).

Oh well, not Wheels Boutique's fault.

I will post for sure when I have all 4 and with the accessories just to finalize it.

I am the one with the 20" Axis Se7en Mods, and the 1" drop. The pics I posted are without the drop, but I will post dropped pics soon. I did not roll the fenders, and have no rubbing at all. The car is low, but in all honesty, it does not drive like it is any lower. Hope this helps!

Default Lowered with 20" no fender roll

I have 19x8" +35 in front and 20x10" +35 in the rear and it is lowered with Tein springs (-0.7" drop). I have had no problems and I did not have to roll the fenders.

I didn't get a chance to take any good pics before I dropped it off at the dealer (getting the transmission replaced! ), but I snapped a quick one in the driveway before I left.

Doesn't really show much, but it gives you a basic idea. That's the stock suspension; I'll be doing coilovers and big brakes on the front soon.

No problems with the springs. The factory "bounce" is gone, it rides a bit harsher than stock, but I like the ride. No rear camber rods, It was aligned within spec on the first try. Most of the rear camber problems that I hear about are with more than a 1" drop. Thanks for the compliments!
