Not sure if there's a thread already like this or not but I thought I might start one. I know most of us guys are all about power mods and performance upgrades, and not many worry about wheels and other cosmetic upgrades, so let's try something new here.

For those of you who have done wheel upgrades, post some pics and your specs so everyone can see and maybe give some inspiriation and ideas. Let this be a open thread where anyone with any wheel upgrade can post. And no flaming because everyone is entitled to their own tastes and opinions. Or if you find any sick pics of other Z32's with wheel upgrades then post them too, and post some specs if you can.

Also feel free to ask any questions if you're a wheel newb like me, I'm sure someone here can answer it for you!!

Let's see some sick setups. GO!

Killer, yo. This is the only pic I have of it. When I asked about it, Z-owned said the wheels are Volk GT-C's and he's using spacers in the rear.

Er, maybe I shoulda said, "Platinum Mist Metallic"That looks awesome though...I just don't think the bronze/gold would work with my car.

Haha

Looking at that again, they look amazing. The flush-ness

I don't think the wheels are gold or bronze... I think thats the sunset reflecting off the chrome...

That looks like Patrick Cheng's car. I am almost positive. And yes. His fitment is nasty good. His user name is StaticZ32 over on 3ZC, not sure if he is here or not.

Did some searching on 3zc and found them, only ever talked to the guy at different meets when I was down in socal dont know him personally KevinZtwin probably knows him better than I do but anyway his specs and a couple pics I found that he took with that setup. It looks like he has since lowered it more and possibly added bigger spacers since these from the other pics.

Volk GT-C's19X9.5 +24+5 mm spacer.19X10.5 +27255 40 19's all around.

That is so gangster... Thats a tall rear sidewall, but that aggressive stretch makes it shorter, it seems. But yeah, looks like he definently did some more work to get it dialed in perfectly in that pic I posted... Very nice.

I agree! that is like...the perfect amount of stretch! looks like it might need a bit more lowering in the front but still very good!

and Alright2020, I've never been a huge fan of the 350z wheels but you make them look like sex!
