I'd like to go with some gunmetal/black, deep offset, spoked 19s. Maybe with a chrome rim. I'd stick with offset sizes but probably go 8.5/9.5. I'd like to run 255 up front and 275 in the rear. Right now I think I have 235/255 which were as wide as I could go on stock widths.

I really like the g-force tires that I have now but the road noise is unbelievable so I might switch.

Here is a quick example of what I'm after:

I've been in love with these for a while:

Nice. I love mine. The only thing I really have against it is that visibility is terrible. It does surprisingly well in snow thanks to the TCS but you live in Arizona right?

Check out http://www.my350z.com its the best resource out there for the Z/G.

Haha. I've not driven any version but my own Z. I originally wanted a G35 more than a Z based on the styling but couldn't turn down the deal I got.

Sadly, the Volk TE-37 Time Attacks are $4800 for a set of 19s with tires. I'm strongly considering a set of Five Axis S5F for just $2000 with tires:

Upgraded the PC to the 64bit Win7 RC. I need to find a car audio store around here so I can get this damn thing installed already.

Fuck, this is taking me way too long...

Finally ran the main power line back from the battery. 4ga stinger wire with a 150a circuit breaker and an Optima YellowTop feeding the juice. Hopefully tomorrow I can tear apart the interior and get some more done.

(dang, iphone snaps some pretty good pics even when its cloudy)

Need to find some place that sells fabric worthy of a speaker grille too.
