A truck in front of me shot a 1x4 wooden plank into my front bumper and the reaction time was too slim I couldn't avoid it. This was on the highway so 80mph rotating wheels driving over the plank was just unavoidable. Guy ran off.

The good news out of it is that my friend got me an unforgettable hookup with her friend at a paint shop and they will be repainting it this week(end). But this thread will be updated soon with the new parts :)

Man, that sucks buddy. It hurts me just to look at it.

It's really not all that crazy but I am happy with the way the Z looks now :driving:

DatsunFTW 03-21-2015 10:33 PM

They may not be the best looking, most expensive or everyone's taste. I don't have as much money as all of the AG, Work, Volk wheels peeps and when I do, it goes elsewhere and there's nothing I can do about it. For once I had the chance to get something for myself and I've been eyeing these out. Hope you guys can appreciate them as much as I do! I know they're replicas or not 3 piece but what the hell do I care... It's my Z after all.

These are Zedd SLM's. Specs are 19x9.5+12 and 19x11+15. The offsets were so much better than I initially assumed. The front fenders will need a light pull but nothing crazy. I am running Pilot Sports and in 275/30-19 and 305/30-19.

There are so many more pics on the way!

The film feature is in the works :happydance:

Zoren 370 03-21-2015 11:23 PM

The design of the wheels is very classy it will never go out of style.

Perfect choice for your Z!

Zoren 370 03-21-2015 11:25 PM

You got the front bumper painted already that was fast!:tup:

DatsunFTW 03-21-2015 11:39 PM

Unfortunately not. She was just buffed as much as possible for the pictures and video today. Still a bit funky looking but sometime soon it will be repainted :tup:

Not too sure why you're being so hard on yourself Thomas???!!
Your Z looks amazing! A very well put together idea that most can not do! Money is only a thing in life.... Takes time for some of us working folks:tiphat:

I would drive your Z with the windows down so everyone can see who is driving this machine:driving:

DatsunFTW 03-22-2015 01:36 AM

Not being hard on myself. Just letting out the initial message for whoever wants to remind me of my "inexpensive" work wheels. I will continue to ride with the windows down and give a smile to anyone :driving:

axmea? 03-22-2015 03:18 AM

Wheels look great Thomas. Goes really well on your SR Z.

Leroydsouza 03-22-2015 06:10 AM

Wheels look great. dont care if you havent put much money into it. Looks good. Car looks so good.

Keep modding

xxAGAVExx 03-22-2015 06:33 AM

Nice man! The wheels look awesome and I am impressed at how quickly you got the front bumper turned around. Looks like I need to get in on whoever did the body work so quickly.

Bumper is not repainted yet. That's the effects of photoshop and taking video from the good side of the car

EZT 03-25-2015 12:49 PM

Sure fooled me and some others then. :tiphat:

Looks Great!!

davwak 03-25-2015 02:00 PM

I like the new wheels over the old ones by a huge margin. They are so slick, love the overall look with them.

Awesome!

Zbrah 03-25-2015 03:39 PM

Wheels would be even more amazing in black ;)

Tried it out in photoshop. Not too fond of the black. Silver matches my handles and I am not painting those ;)

jofro6 03-28-2015 06:38 PM

mag_black 03-29-2015 07:47 PM

Car looks great! If you're going to Zdayz, I can't wait to see your car in person. We'll both be in the same class in the car show :tup:

jofro6 03-31-2015 07:35 PM

I just took a gamble on ebay. Just google "370z tow hook." I bought a red one but painted it gold.
