Broke down and spent WAY too much money on a new set of wheels today lol. 60-90 day wait, but I couldn't help it....

With matte black centers.

Anybody want to buy some 19" Forgestars? Guaranteed no wait. :)

I do love your now "old" wheels.... Don't think it's the right fit for PW though.

Black & white is as classic as it gets! Please don't go gold... So 2007. :D

Definitely not going gold. The matte black is really the question. Don't realistically have the money for wheels anyways. Plus I have NISMO wheels :D Maybe something different down the line.

Just couldn't resist could you? LOL

They are sexy wheels.

Looking good Mike! Any plans for interior work such as seats are harnesses?

Curious do you know what the fastest NA 370Z (both stock and modified) have run at BW13?

Right now, from what I know. It was the blue Robispec/Pizzafactory 370Z at Super Lap Battle 2009. Yokohama AD08 street tires and 2009 GrandAm ROLEX GT2 champion Leh Keen behind the wheel. 2:00.585. A record that will surely be broken this year now that these cars have more performance oriented aftermarket support. Or someone who shows up with R-Compounds and a mildly modified 370Z.

As for interior plans for my car. My BRIDE Zeta IIIs are currently up for sale. Would eventually like to get some Cugas or some other aftermarket reclineables since its going to stay a daily driver. Thats about it. Since it wont be seeing much track time, if any, anymore there will be no roll bar or aftermarket steering wheel, or anything fun and I am not into stereo systems or any other traditional "show car" stuff so it will remain simple.

Cool Mike, but you are keeping your wing?

Yes. I have an obligation to Kognition to run the wing for 2010, but even without that obligation it would probably stay. Although I think its over-scale for the car as it sits right now, at the time we designed it, our number one goal was to build it to the maximum limits of the time attack Street Tire Class rulebook. Had I known at the time that I would not be racing the car this season I probably would have opted to go with one that is not as wide and maybe not as tall for aestetic purposes. I personally find a lot of beauty in functional aerodynamics and will always favor agressive aero over your typical show car styling, thats just my personal taste. I think the depth and size of the new SSRs will help make the car look wider thus make the wing not look so oversized. Plus the addition of an agressive front lip and some flatter style side skirts will add to the agressive look and be a better match to the wing itself. Plus its not to say that this car wont see some track time this year, it just wont be seeing competition. I still want to keep it as track ready as possible in case an opportunity presents itself to get it back into the action.

I just bought these wheels as well. The first batch of wheels will be done being made in 2 weeks than another 1month and 2 weeks to package and get to SSR. Your might be in this batch. I bought these in the specs in my sig. they are the sames specs as the red 370 you have a pic of. The same red z in the ssr ads. These are the lightest wheels ssr has ever produced. How big of a rear lip is that???

2010 is going to be an exciting year for the 370Z on track. It will be interesting to see how far the car can be taken, in both NA and FI forms.
