gpt some new toys for the Z

Got them on last week. Went with the Volk GT-S sizes 19x9.5 +17 front and the 19x10.5 +18 rear in Mercury Silver. All i have to say is they look MUCH better in person. Also got the varis air duct put on and the windows tinted on saturday morning.

Look at the lip on the rear. IT'S 5 INCHES DEEP!!!!!

Yeah the lip is insane on those things. If your old volks weren't so wide I'd buy them

Don't much care for the air duct (even if it's functional) but the rest of the car is HOT

thanks for the comments fellas. Yeah the air duct is something either you hate or love (i love it

).

I just sold the old wheels friday evening. I liked them, but due to the sizes i was having some noticable understeer. These puppies cured that and then some. Car handles SOOOO much better.

I curl up and take naps in them everyday. You can see the drool stains on the lips if you look close enough.

I love that air duct. Did you do that yourself or is it made by some company?

wheels are ok. I've always like the air duct on the Z...makes it look more aggressive.

yea but after some research it wasn't any significant amount. It burns a little less than a quart every 3,500 miles which isn't a significant amount for a sports car. I am going to keep a close eye on it and probably switch to amsoil + a oil pan spacer to up the oil holding capacity.
