Okay, someone fess up, whose is this...
 
So I'm browsing autotrader looking for a dealership that may want to get rid of aftermarket wheels on a Z for a set of stock wheels. Anyways, I come across this gem. So which one of you made this sweet set of wheels...

LOL!!! Not the worst I've ever seen...
But why "race" a base?

Racing strips look horrible on our cars, but not the worst I've seen.

Nothing like racing an AT with a high spoiler

Vichtz 01-12-2013 10:56 PM

I hate to say it, but I had a black Megan Racing Wing on my 06 GT before I had the Z... I lived MY life a quarter mile at a time back then too...

Haha that's what I was thinking. :icon18:

PapoZalsa 01-13-2013 01:21 PM

I saw 2 2009 Zs last year that the local Nissan Dealer put racing strips on them.

I saw them when first they were put in the used lot, couple weeks later WTF. :shakes head:

Actually, this is what the original 40th anniversary looked like. Luckily, they fired Paul Walker and let the original design team take over, which led to the current black cherry 40th. That's not made up, it's fact.

CDepp 01-13-2013 07:41 PM

We have a NEW WINNER!! (click pic to see autotrader ad)

" NICE SPORTS STRIPES " -<-big selling point in description!

Actually, if I hadn't purchased mine a month ago, I might have jumped on this. Although I would have ripped the stripes off and swapped the rims back to OEM.

HArturo319 01-13-2013 07:48 PM

tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

NissanGuy23 01-13-2013 07:59 PM

The only thing thats worse than racing strips on a Z

is racing strips that stop at the hood

nmjaxx9 01-13-2013 08:03 PM

idk I think the stripe thing should be left for the muscle cars like camaros, the stripes are too wide and big, they need to cut it down if they wanna make it appealing, and maybe change the color. :tup:

I could see the Black Cherry with a matte velvet-black set of stickers I suppose. I'm all about the "subtle" even with the obvious. Off to Photoshop I go!!!

CDepp 01-13-2013 08:42 PM

Nah...even subtle and ghosted race stripes are not my flavor. They do look good on many muscle cars though (Mustangs, Camaros, etc).

CDepp 01-13-2013 09:02 PM

I can't really say much about other people's taste. To each our own.


Ref: I was thinking of wrapping my MagBlack with a dark matte grey bottom and overlaying a graphic on the side.

Although maybe they were only selling those cars not knowing they could just remove the stripes. :roflpuke2:

General speaking yes. But the racing stripes look fine on Miatas too.

Vichtz 01-13-2013 10:28 PM

racing stripes don't look good on anything that isnt flat. Miatas, camaros, mustangs, even old skylines are pretty much plateaued out from the hood to the cabin to the trunk. All flat top. too many curves = no stripes therefor 370z= no stripes.

wow, thats terrible

LiquidCrewZ 01-14-2013 10:31 AM

Nice wing, why would someone do that. I think that car can fly. I bet the dealership was thrilled to get that beauty. If I was them, I would take all that stuff off.
