That depends on the price of equally as good wheels there. about 600-1k here will get you replica wheels and nothing special. Repairing your rays might be worth it especially if you already do like the look of them. if your going to do it right and put good rims, then the cost will far exceed the cost to repair your current rims. Have you shopped around for different prices to get them fixed?

The stock Sport/Nismo wheels are very high quality wheels. So if you like them then spend the money. $150 per wheel is a fair price. You're complaining about repairing all 4 wheels for 2/3 the cost of a single wheel new.

But if you replace them, don't get some cheap a$$ replicas. With some patience you could probably find another set of stock wheels in better condition than yours for under $1000. Then sell yours to offset the cost; even rashed up Rays often get $800 for a set.

Installed 18" resonated F.I. pipes i bought off a forum member to replace my non-res. Pulled the W brace, sanded off some rust and repainted those spots as well.

That's what, a 200lb reduction in unsprung weight? I bet it's a night and day different from driving with wheels.

All I need is an xbox and a projector and I have myself the world's most expensive driving simulator.

You probably have a broken hat on the fuel pump. Phunk has the fix (CJM).

Took her down to Watkins Glen for opening weekend

$25 gets you 3 "pace-led" laps but they're pretty laxed about it... still able to pull some pretty good speed on most of the track (depending on who's in front of you

)

Blew me away that we hung there for about 2.5 hours after we did our laps and I didn't see a single other Z

After a very long drive home from work last night, I realized that I should really have my car dyno'd.

Why?

Gave her a good bath & polishing...including using the 3M kit to freshen up my head lamp lenses. Ah, the things you can accomplish when you're unemployed.
