What do you mean live and learn? You have one of the best looking Z's on this forum, period. Money well spend if you ask me

Thanks! Actually had a guy in a fully modded, fully sponsored 350 back up and tell me he liked MY car! And here I was seeing his car thinking WOW! his car looks awesome!

To have him do that was really cool! He specifically said:

Im really feeling the aggressive stance and the rims and tires!

Props to you, Ryan!

Haha, nice man. Your car definitely turns heads.

You're the one who said you wanted the most BA set of wheels available.

I'm just glad you liked my suggestion

You do realize that paying 5k for wheels + tires is silly? No one ever pays that much... RE11s are what 1200 for all 4s at most... so you paid 3800 for wheels? OUCH man... those better have been custom offsets... lol

You're not looking into it correctly. First, the tires mounted and balanced cost more than that, then there are the TPMS sensors which are $450, most 1 piece Volks go for around $3500. They are worth it to most.
