why do you say that? the wheels are for exclusivity not out right 100% track performance.

An SUV really? No way.

Its just not a very sporty wheel thats all, I mean to each his own, just its WAY to blingy to me for a sports car. Sports cars should have wheels that dont look gawdy(probably spelled that wrong). Like I said though, to each his own, but I think this officially takes you out of the hardcore, amazing Z's in my eyes. I was hoping you were gonna keep it clean, excited for the motor still though.

As much as I hate to admit it and toss anything negative Mike's way, I have to say that I agree with this line of reasoning. In truth a super car build deserves a very aggressive overall look to fit the theme of power. And even more I hate to admit it that one of the best wheel companies out, as far as designs go, is ADV.1.

It may be too late, but I would speak with Paul of AE Performance and see what they can do for you on some ADV.1 wheels.

ADV.1 - Home

They don't do sponsorships. You have to dish out the serious money with those. No discounts, unless you got the connect. Trust me, many have tried.

And I think Mike already stated his opinion on that crazy pricing, which I agree is pretty steep. http://www.the370z.com/wheels-tires/...tml#post414008

You gotta pay to play. You can't skimp on the wheels because if the wheels don't compliment or setoff the car, you basically wasted your time with the rest of the car. The wheels have to be a calculated decision.

bullitt5897 06-04-2010 09:32 PM

Yeah Jeremy I tried a ton of manufacturers and by far most want everyone to pay full price

bullitt5897 06-04-2010 09:37 PM

guys lets stick to color ideas

I agree. The wheels are the most important aspect of any vehicle. They change the overall look drastically. If they are even the slightest bit off, the baby goes out with the bath water.

I know you have, bro. I know you have spent a lot of time trying to make a decision. I also know that I haven't helped you here. Apologies for that.

So true. Well I am a fan of mesh wheels (hence my wheels), so either way I approve.

I would have suggested it but thought it might clash with your BBK. Thats why i say maybe match the BBK color. That solid red looks good too though.
