Nope. I didn't get time to change out the LSD or Transmission fluid.

Also, I am assuming one isn't a "locking" nut, so Joe Blow could be able to take your wheels. Is that correct?

The Muteki lugs fit, however the total weight savings is 3 lbs all together, not 3 lbs. per wheel. They are a spline drive nut so you need one of their keys to get them off. So basically they are all "locking" lugs.

Ooops. Thanks for the clarification. Good to see that they are locking.

How are Nitto Invo tires for street/track use? I have no experience with Nittos, but I know the Mustang guys swore by them.

The Invos are awesome on the street. Very quiet. For a track tire though I probably wouldn't suggest them. The have a harder compound which improves tread life, but its not as ideal for track use. The Nitto NT05 is their stickiest "street" tire and has gotten rave reviews from the track and time attack world.

I am assuming that you won't get the NT05 since you stated this Z won't be a full blown track car?

I have a second set of Forgestars and a set of NT05s on order already for track use.

I just wont ever strip the interior or anything crazy like that.
