P.S. Why do you think I bought the AME's (made by enkei) there like the big brothers to the RPF1s (are still on of my favorite wheel!)

Take some names, kick some ***, then drive you're Z, you'll feel better.

RCZ

I love the AMEs Danny.

I dont know about kicking ***, but I do know about going to get a car wash later and enjoying the car a bit

ChrisSlicks

Not too much enjoyment, don't want you turning into a mechaphiliac.

RCZ

definitely not that much enjoyment dont worry. I dont know how people can build relationships with their cars, I just don't get it. I don't understand how some people call their cars "her". To me its just "The Z" or "The Nissan"

+1 on alignment specs, please

did they fit? did they rub? nowhere near rubbing, I still had enough 3/4 to the fender. I dont know exactly what they are going to do next as far as size and offset, but we will be testing something else out soon. I didnt get to keep these, but I think they are going to let me work with them for a new release of a top secret design they have been working on. That reminds me that I have to send a PM to a select few of you guys to ask fellow 370z owners what they think of this new style. Personally, I like them a lot so I am excited.

I am doing my suspension adjustments myself. Also this will come as helpful information to some: As you all know, when you lower the car you gain negative camber. The lower, the more negative. So here's a piece of info that I wish I had known before I did my first alignment after the drop.

If you drop the car to a nice flush around-the-wheels look and you dont have camber control arms to adjust it. You are going to end up at around -1.4 front and -3 rear. That is NOT what you want the car to have. So get the control arms. If you only get one set, get the rears.

As of right now I dont have camber adjustment parts so I am at -1.3 front and -3 rear. Its amazing grip out back, but Im going to change it up a bit. I have decided that -2.5F and -2R camber is a nice track/street balance.

Both of you guys along with a few more are going to get PM's from me to get your input on the new wheel design. They are either going to make it or not based on your input.

I will get your more info on alignment settings when they are done.

Mike

so do you think an 18x12, with proper offset would fit in the rear?

Great update, RCZ! I'm surprised to hear that 305s look weak!

Hmmm, interesting. I think I'd have to see them on a car to really get an opinion. Usually I dont like them with the spokes angled like that, but that design actually looks pretty catchy...

Those look great! Come oooon let me rock them for you hehe

Take a look at this by the way (Thanks AK for the find!). Apparently some folks in Germany think my review threads were good enough to post them on their blogs. International exposure baby haha.

When the one piece version comes out... (if I ever decide what offsets to built them) you will have the first set on your car and it will be fully sponsored by Vossen.
