Going aftermarket wheels for your Nissan Z?

[therumblewagon]

But why not BOTH?

Buy the wheels, have them shipped to vacation destination, drive Z there, throw new wheels on, vacation, drive home, ship factory wheels back and/or sell 'em.

Boom! Flawless plan.

Sir, I like the way you think! ?

You know, that might be a heck of a biz model. Set up a shop in a highly desirable area, have some kind of inclusive package that includes lodging + whatever mod you're getting, drive out there, leave car and go do touristy things (maybe the shop has loaner cars if it's serious mods? Or just offers them regardless) and then drive home once your stay concludes.

Let's take this to Shark Tank

Diminishing returns

I'd rather go on vacation than mod my car. Seems like a better use for a couple grand. If this was a BRZ, then yeah I'd want to mod it but the Z is very nice as-is.

Lol this is wht my wife and I discuss each time I'm thinking about buying something for my car...We've got a good process setup now...Whatever I spend on my car (non-maintenance) I have to give her a similarly priced vacation...and the same works on the flip side..so our Hawaii trip gave me an IC and down payment on upcoming Z if I decide to get it this year...

On the other hand, I agree with you the Z is nice as is, and I'll probably wait for wheels and just do Bolt ons/minor aesthetic mods until the perfect wheel set up pops up..or like my previous 370z just stick with Springs + Spacers & Wider Tires and call it a day as the few PS mockups around the site show the stock wheels looking really really nice!

Can someone Photoshop these on the new Z for me, please? ?

 

[Denver the Last Dinosaur]

^ It's certainly an improvement.

Would it be wrong if I wanted to put some MF10s on the new Z…?

I wish they make these in 19” for the Z. they haven’t yet per their rep at JCCS last year. Will ask again next month.

I highly doubt you'll find Wats bigger than 17s. They really only cater to old school Japanese classics. But Rotiform makes a wheel called MLW which is a carbon copy of the RS8 and they're available in a size that'll fit the new Z.

Thanks for the tip, this is sweet!

370Z Nismo v1 looks good on ANYTHING

Anyone have tips on buying a set of these (I'm Australian and have a proto allocation)?
I don't mind colour, that can be fixed later.
Yahoo auctions, other Z forums? Can they be bought new through Nissan still?

I'm very keen on the V1 Nismos, they look great.

Thanks

Are any of the more “talented” members of our forum able to do a photoshop of the Black Nissan Z but with the proto spec Bronze wheels? Im toying with the idea of either powder coating the stock black wheels a stain bronze, or even keeping the stock pair and ordering an additional pair in proto spec bronze color. Anyone able to pull that look on this forum?
