Wow that looks AMAZING!!

Well crap, I got the wrong year rims!!!

Are those the Dunlop Sport Maxx tires? How do you like them?

That's my red Z
The Wheels were wicked in person

The tires are the Dunlop Sport Maxx. I mounted the tires today. I haven't had a chance to test them. Probably this weekend........................

Nice they look like my Cor Formas

handled · 07-11-2012, 11:04 AM

Wow, those came out great!

Ubetit · 07-11-2012, 01:04 PM

Nice combo

Looking good! Are the GTR rims heavier than stock sports or stock Nismo rims? I am guessing the car is lower?

whittier · 07-14-2012, 02:25 AM

The GTR wheels are definitely heavier, they are 20" wheels. I originally was going to replace my stock sports wheels with Nismo's, but had an opportunity to get these and couldn't resist................I actually had the Nismo's and was waiting to purchase the tires........

very nice. I like the 12 wheels on the Z better than the older model. A drop would make it perfect

No doubt it looks great. Do you feel any adverse effects on the performance/handling of the car with the heavier wheels? Was the car lowered?

I am thinking about getting the stock Nismo rims and Nismo suspension. Still have the Nismo rims?

Thing looks like a skyscraper right now, but props.

I will be lowering the car, but not until I payoff some bills. I traded my Nismo wheels plus cash for the GTR's. The wheels do stick better than the sports, other than that not feeling much of a difference.

I saw you at the meet tonight! The car looks even better in person!
