I was thinking about these too! Excited to see how they look on your car I might have to get a set in gun blue.

Well guys here I leave you another detailed pics... more than I see of this wheel more I love them... every detail on the wheels looks soo perfect... even in the damn boxes hahahah!! check it out

The presentation before you open the box kill me

jp by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

then you find another cover where they put the Gram Lights spoke decal... and of course im going to installed... They are red and i think it woul be a nice touch and are going to make a very good contrast with my red side mirrors and my Akebono calipers

image (1) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

behind that cover you find that beautiful wheel... and here is when I start

image (2) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

image (3) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

and finally when you look inside the wheel you found this stickers of authenticity, test that they did to the wheel and the specs...

image (4) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

I sound like i never buy quality wheels (non replica) in my live... I know hahaha! but the question is yes... In the past I already bought quality (non replica wheels) my other cars....But the quality of the Rays Wheels at the moment i the best that I ever seen!

Well guys finally last weekend I install the wheels After a long wait and some headache with the shop... finally they are on the car... Here are the pics

My Saturday start with a trip to a shop to install the tires and get them balanced.

Then... the installation of the wheels into the Z
gl (2) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

After install the wheels... i have to reset the TPMS and decide to take the Z for the first run to see if everything was ok
gl(5) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

After run the car and check that everything was ok... its time for his bath
gl (4) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

Well... thats all for the Saturday project hahahha!! And I decide to continue the project on Sunday... I give a good wax and finally i can take some pics!

In this pic you can see how the front wheels/tires look... I love how aggressive looks when you see the car for the front

image (3) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

image (5) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

image (6) by Carlos Berrios, on Flickr

Thats all for now guys... I really love how the car feels with the 18"wheels... They looks great... Of course in 19" the car maybe looks better... but to be honest I love how they looks now and how the handling was improved. Later in the day im going to post some pics of the Z1 Motorsports 20mm Bolt-on spacers that arrive Yesterday and how they look installed

The last upgrade for now Yesterday i receive the Z1 Motorsports 20mm Bolt-On Spacers... I can tell you guys that they are from really good quality and fit just perfect! They looks great too from the box but I decide to paint them cause i dont want to see that chrome plate behind my wheels hahaha!! I forgot to take some pics of the spacers painted in satin black and pics of how they look installed (with the wheels off). Anyway here I leave you with the pics of the spacers out from the box and how they look installed on my rear wheels... This was the mod that my Z needs to complete the look of the new wheels
