18's on a 370z

Nothing wrong with 18's. Guru loaned me his spare set of 18's when I had my rims painted, and the ride was a marked improvement over the 19's. VDC-OFF will tell you the same thing.

Sure you are ultimately giving up some performance, but for the amount of time you really push your car, a more comfortable ride (relatively speaking).

As far as unsolicited advice, here's mine - save your money to get what you really want or you will be either miserable and/or buying another set of rims.

I've been browsing that thread. I want 18s. I don't care about wheel gap, I already have it. I want the F14s.

Good, glad that's settled. Looking forward to seeing pics.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind if you have a set of nice 18, I don't find 18s looks bad on the Z.

Get a set of nice 18s is 100x better than a set of sh!tty 19s.

Why did you change rims last summer Mr.alcheng?

Here's the perfect example of 18's done right on a Z:

No. I did not. I grew up in a Navy family, my Dad did 34 years and retired as a Captain (he was a mustang -- enlisted in the Navy at 17). Looking back, I wished I had done my part, but in college when I talked about ROTC, I found out I would not be able to fly due to my height and eyesight, so I did not pursue it.

I was looking at my EVO-R Z emblems today and realized the backings that were sent with them are for the standard Nissan burger emblem and not the Z logo emblem

I'm glad I sprayed the clear coat on the backings and didn't use the VentureShield pieces that Mr. GurneyEagle (I figured I'd mess it up the first time anyway)

I know I can get a more glossy finish with the VentureShield, but I will have to redo the clear coat on the emblems to get them the proper sheen.

Here's a mock up of the emblem
