V35 with NISMO Rays on Car
Thinking about it, stock springs right now, it doesn't need much - half inch to inch at most. Suffers a little bit of +1 look but not so bad as other cars where I've done +1 wheels.
Just did F/R strut tower braces, new sways, stock springs are feeling a little soft now. '04 had mild rear spring rate, not as stiff as my '03 Z.
Have to figure out what I want to put on it, wasn't planning anything right away, now thinking sooner than later, why not, ftw

What's out there that outperforms that, for <= $325/wheel? No one ever said pay full list price for NISMO

For $600 retail you can get a bunch of different Work wheels that weigh in the 18-21 pound range. IIRC, the stock 18's are 25 or 26 pounds. But than again, many consider Work and Volk to be in the same Tier.

The lettering I can take or leave, sometimes I've tempted to fully de-badge it, too many fools who don't know an R32 Skyline from a V35 "wanna race" for whatever reason, it gets old.

The front, side, and rear parts must be available stateside somewhere for a lot less if it's the CPV35 NISMO look you're going for.
Bumper lip front:

Volk, Work, Rays I put in the same class. From the miles I've already put on these, they have already seen a few knocks w/o any issue - they seem strong as hell for such a low profile 19" setup.
Forged vs. pressure cast is pretty close, splitting hairs. But, I've always loved RAYS wheels, what can I say...
