Dude, please do your research. A proper set of wheels (offsets, offsets, offsets!) and suspension really set the Z off (don't buy stock wheels). Those wheels on your car do no such thing. See if you can sell them to an altima or maxima owner. Also, the red painted calipers look like trash. There is never a need to bring attention to those ugly *** calipers. Paint them black or look into a BBK. Good luck man.

You mean that little round thing near the top right corner of the windshield is a GPS antenna? I thought it was the lens cap for your camera.

Those are most likely more expensive than XXR 527s or 530s which come in proper z specs and costs only around 500 for a full set new. And they look way better.

I agree with we all gotta start somewhere but some people got it and most don't have what it takes to modify our car properly. I can live with the plasti-dip... at least he didn't dip the whole car.

You buy wheels the same way you buy a house, tv, car etc. you do your research. Adding spacers to accommodate the lack off offset is fail in my book that could've been avoided had you done your research and bought the right specs. Not everyone is into slamming their cars.

Wait I thought op bought his car with the wheels already on there. Jeebus Cwist, I agree , should of did the research I was merely telling to make the best of the situation in making it look better.

But slammed Z"s look so nice, yours sits pretty low too Stogey.

Lol @ the dipping the whole car. Totally agree

No need to screw up a perfectly good car by slamming it

The stock wheels, drop and spacers would look so much cleaner and would have been cheaper. Agree on the cheap mod look.

did you or did you not do some research before going your directions? that kind of money you just spent, i would have just bought an intake system as my first mod and start saving up for some much nicer wheels like the varrs...they arent the best but they look damn nice. i have looked into getting some varrs but after some extensive research on it....they suck and crack easily even if you hit the smallest pothole out there so i started saving up more and bought myself a bronze work xd9

do more research and you'll get better at it

i dont own any Varrstoens but out of curiosity, can you tell me where you researched this statement? because i have yet to see anything about them breaking easily on small potholes.

just wondering.
