Whats going on bro? Did the wheels show up?

I do plan to lower eventually. Hence the tough decision. I just ordered Ichiba V2 20mm spacers for the rear as per your suggestions.

I love her wheels! Now I'm torn....

I love 19"but to find tires here in PR its a PITA... soo thats one of the reason that i buy new 18" plus the Z feel a lot better in 18" in my opinion :tup:

I wouldnt mind a set myself actually. I like the look of them a lot. Check out the F14 mega thread for all the colors/specs.

No need to be torn, they are for sale. lol

Even if you lower, I think at most you would need is a 5mm spacer or whatever that 5 one is.

No wait time on getting them made either.....





I'm trying really hard here lol.

:iagree: Z felt great at COTA!

Toss in a "Think of the kid!" too for good measure. :tup:

Mine are only the base 18's though. No 19's. I honestly can't figure out which set I like more now...

Everything is find brother... and you? i hope you are more relax brother for that damn thing that your shop do to one of your handles :shakes head:

Well my wheels..... dont know where tha fck are they...:shakes head: I call the shop this morning and they told me that they are going to give a call to see what is the status of the wheels... @2pm im going to call him back to see if they got news :mad:

Last Saturday i buy the new set of tires for the 18"

They are 255/40/18 & 285/35/18

Now wait for the damn wheels:shakes head:

That's what I need, base 18's for trade in. They won't give me crap on the sports with the VIN reading base. Come on....think about the kiddo! lol

I am a lot calmer now that I saw what actually was up and had a chance to cool down. I told the guy I would see him tomorrow morning and then he saw me walking up to the shop and he knew I was pissed. We walked into the shop without saying a word and I almost laughed it was so not what I was thinking. :tup: I can;t sleep now though lol t-minus 4 hours until alarm goes off to wake up for work. No rest for the wicked I guess,

Hope your wheels show up soon! I hate waiting!

Wheels + 1k? Woof, I'd need a little to collect some money haha. Wasn't planning on getting wheels for another month or 2.

hahahhaha!!! great bro!

BTW thanks... I hope soo :/ I hate wait too :shakes head:

Lemme break it down for you lol:

Your base wheels + tires will not get you higher than $400 unless someone is really hard up for them.

My wheels + tires were $2100.


You're getting the better end of the deal but I need to trade in during the second week of June or so.

:iagree:

I paid $1,600 for the new wheels and $727.00 for the tires

:icon18:

here is a pic of how my Z sits at the moment until the new wheels arrive :(

need my new wheels ASAP!

I'll keep you updated since they're so freaking nice looking!! I'll be cutting it close for the timeframe. Might be able to pull it off if work ever decided to release my backpay from my raise.

Just let me know. Is your Z your daily?

Most definitely. I really do like them. And nope. She's slowly turning into my weekend girl only. Crappy Civic for DD.

i never suggested ordering ichiba's... :icon08: get fic, kics, h&r, or eibach only.

If that's the case and you don't mind some downtime, I could give you the month but I'd need your base wheels earlier.


Also, i might be able to buy some base wheels locally. If I do, I'd still sell you mine but the price would be $1450 since there's no swap.

You're my advisor now! You need to tell me these things before they even pop into my head!! I'll go cancel my order right now....

:D factory wheels look okay in 2D. :tup:

3D (looked at from an angle) they just dont cut it with body kits.

I did... I left you one this morning as well.

:superghey:

:icon17:

:shakes head:

It would kill me having the Z up on stands for downtime haha. Keep looking and if yours sell, great! But the beginning of June I'll know for certain if I can make the trade. Never thought it would be such a process to get a raise at work to go into affect.

I didnt think I read that right at first about Ichiba. Was questioning your judgement there Kenchan lol.

Better?..... :ugh2:

http://www.evasivemotorsports.com/mm...de=KICS-5120W1

actual experience with junk? :ugh2:

those are faux versions of Kics basically. ive read about them cracking too. :ugh:

honestly i would never buy another spacer made by others than kics. why? cause kics arse. never had one problem over the 15yrs(?) running them in various sizes. the only time i got FIC is when i needed a 10mm bolt-on type with hubcentric lip built in.

It'd only be up for two weeks maybe. If you start saving now lol.

I had read in the past about them cracking and being POS. Thats why I was wondering why you recommended them, not like you to like crappy parts. :tup:

so, it looks like my rc car bits to replace the one i broke saturday will be here on wed. wheew.... :ugh:

will need to mod the thing a tad to make it more robust...

oh, i read ur post wrong then. :icon17: yah i would NEVER recommend ichiba's or any faux bits for that matter.

i lol'ed at ebay mufflers that look like my fujimura mufflers. :rofl2:

wtf, they trying to trick my dumbarse indian neighbor down the street? EXACTLY THE SAME! :mad: G35C and 370Z EXACTLY THE SAME CAR! WHY U BUY 2 EXACTLY SAME CAR?! :mad:

:gtfo2:

I have been up for ~32 hours now, I am surprised my posts make any sense at all lol.

hahaha :iagree: but... damn what i dont like of the Oem Base wheels are that the body eat them like a big fat cop eat the donuts :roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

:icon18:

Here, Ken. I'll give you money and the Z. You buy and put the parts on. I'll be back in a month to pick it up hahaha
