haha! I plan to powder coat them actually... I have plans to get ahold of a winter set and while they're off the car I'll dismount the tires and have them redone.

on a serious note though, the Children's Hospital Donation Drive with be on Nov13th here in Richlmond. I will be trying to contact Victory Nissan/Pearson Infiniti for donations and may do a drive thru to their dealerships as a thank you for their help(hopefully). Corey has done the write up on this in the NGC section as well as 350z.com and Vadriven.com. If there is a big showing then i may contact one of the news stations to cover the event. Please participate if you can, its for the kids!!! Time to give back to the children that desperately need the help.......

Ben did you get rid of those falkens you picked up?

The enkeis are a sick track wheel, are they 17's?
Oh and let me know if you get them powdercoated (I definitely think you should, white is too much for that car)
I'm looking to get my stockies done in gloss black.

I'll ask around Tony. I'll be there for the event as well

Yes, Nadeem they are 17s. An excellent track wheel. Roughly 15 lbs a piece. The guy I got them from said he had them powder coated by a guy in Williamsburg for $200... and he did a damn good job.. so I may go back to him!

I had the same width tire on those 18s as I did on my STi BBS's just so I could have a decent sidewall that would make the ride decently comfortable.. so there was really no gain with them. They were heavier (not THAT much.. but still makes a difference on a car like this), the style didn't really wow me, and the tires were just crappy all-seasons. So I traded them straight up for these white RPF1s. It was totally last minute, but it worked out great. These wheels have RE070's on them (same tires I had on the BBS's .... sticky as ****. Probably one of the best), and they only weigh 15 lbs a piece!!!! The car feels significantly lighter on its feet, more responsive, stickier, and I love the way they look. And I didn't have to pay a dime for them
Are they much lighter than the stock BBS wheels? I liked the STi stockers.
