^^^ what a beautiful sight, new wheels are gonna be siiick! I hate to be a creeper, but I've actually followed your car for awhile now. haha like almost 2 years ago back before I bought my 240, I came across yours on a google search, it was on some forum call Roclife or something? Anyway you had just bought the battles and it was the first time I had ever heard/seen them. I absolutley fell in love, so much, that I convinced the previous owner of my car to purchase a set of 17x9.5 gunmetal battles (I helped him do 5lug/Z32 brakes before I bought the car.) Hell, I think he even PM'ed you about what size tire to run after he picked them up! Anyway, the type x conversion came out great. I will def. be sure to keep checkin out the build!

Hate to say it, but I agree with Teddy. Those Battles looked way better. :(

The concave-ness of the Battles flowed a little better with the curve of the Type-X in my opinion.

I think the wheels look great and the car is sexy. My big turn off is when you do too much to improve the looks it starts to look a little over the top, but luckily it's your car so you can do what you like.
