Definitely

So here is the aftermath of the tire change. Not sure whether to leave it like this for now or just take it all off. The rear wheels aren't too bad, but the fronts are.

Take it off, looks ugly now...

Great find on the oil cooler though

Thanks! Kind of broke from all the spending recently and trying to save money for track time. I'll probably just peel it off and leave it stock for a while.

So this is the look I'm currently rocking on the Z :l

Do take the plastidip off; that shot doesn't do justice to your sick ride

I will finish taking it off eventually. Just got tired of doing it in my parking lot while it was 95* outside. I do love the look of the wheels with the gunmetal plasti dip, but if it's going to get ruined everytime I get my tires changed them it's not worth it to respray them.

The car looks better overall with silver wheels imo. Adds contrast to match the silver door handles / z emblem / headlights.

Pfftt, that's what I left the center caps and lug nuts silver for

How's the oil cooler in the recent 100 degree weather?

I can't get it to 180 with normal driving, have to drive a bit more aggressively

Hahaha it was a 34r right?

Right now with no cooler I'll hit 225 in stop and go traffic with A/C on full blast.
Been debating on picking up a small 25r cooler.

Yeah. You should only really get it if you're gonna do hard spirited driving when it's really hot outside or if you plan on tracking it. Otherwise I've been fine without one for over a year now. Come on the cruise this Saturday and monitor your temps. Should help you decide if you need one or not.

I like the wheels silver too
