I recently acquired a pearl yellow Z32. It came with a set of 19 inch TE37's and a wings west kit as parts. Wasn't planning on throwing the kit on as I've already ordered a JSPEC front bumper. I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of a Z32 with 19 inch wheels on, without a kit. Just want to know if I should sell off the wheels and look for 18's. Thanks in advance everyone. And yes, I'm a noob here.

I personally would keep the TE37's, but def get rid of the kit. Here is a good idea of fitment for the TE's (these are Varrstoen ES 2.2.1 which are TE reps).

TE-37's? Keep them. Anything else looks bad in 19.

And don't just get rid of the Wings West kit, but burn it, so it can never disgrace another Z32 ever. Trust me, it's terrible.

Damn, that was an easy decision. Can't wait to dismount the wheels and then prepped for paint. Thanks again guys.

Have you considered powdercoating? The finish lasts a lot longer.

I have considered powder coating and to my understanding it isn't good for forged wheels. Supposedly it weakens the construction.

It can if they don't know what they are doing and bake it to long or hot. A good paint will work well to just not as good. That said TE's or not I would sell them and get some 18's but that's just me, I find 19's to look to big on the Z32.

If you could find someone with decent sized 18's, see if they'd trade straight across. That'd be the way to go if you want 18's. Depends on how low you go IMHO. If you're not going ultraslammed, then they could look way oversized.
