Talking Installed 350Z Wheels! (56k no-no)

I'd like to extend my thanks to the CL members who contributed to my 'problem thread' last week. Without you guys, the installation would not have been possible. I love the look of the new wheels, compared to the previous aftermarket ones that came with the car.

And now, as promised, pics! It's been raining all weekend so I quickly went out and snapped a few shots.

Before:

Default 350Z Wheels

felixsc300, The new rims look great, do you know the weight of the rim? I would like a pair, but only if they are light in weight.

Looks great, although a lower profile and a bit of a drop would make it look better. now fill up those wheels with some LS400 fronts....if they fit...

Very nice. You may want to sand and paint those brown hubs silver....!

By the way, I installed some Skyline GT350 alloys, and retained the wheel caps. I sanded them flush, filled them with epoxy resin from the reverse side, sanded again and sprayed matt black...
