Thanks for all the comments, folks.

I did consider getting 19" GT-7s (there were a few being sold at that time on the private classifieds on both my350z.com and g35driver.com) but I think the pearl white color of these 18" GT-7s sealed the deal for me. The price was also extremely low for the condition (only a few scratches) and the rarity. I bought these from a forum member on my350z.com and I don't think you can readily get pearl white from Volks; I don't even think you can order them that way anymore unless you get them painted by someone else. But should any of you find any 19" Volk GT series wheels for sale (especially the GT-7s) in pearl white, give me a buzz.

I agree. Clear side markers would be a good touch. As far as spacers, I'll wait until after the alignment and see how they wheels/tires look. The current offsets are +23 front and +19 rear. Another 5mm in front probably wouldn't hurt.

 

Here are a couple more shots from this weekend (on HWY74)...

 

Was just going to say, get it tinted that will really set it off. Looks good, keep us posted.....

 

Oh, it's tinted (except front windshield). I can't remember the percentages but I think they're 35% on the sides and 20% on the rear (including the little windows). I didn't want to go to the darkest tint.

 

Looks good to me...thumbs up!!

 

The white/white combo looks awesome. I think you add some spacers to bring those wheels out a bit. Other than that, nice work!

 

+1, spacers will make it hella sick. I'm actually lovin the look of 18's instead of 19's! great combo yo'

 

im not a fan of ruffs at all. but they look better then the volks.

 

Yeah. After the springs and alignment, the fronts did look tucked in. I'm looking into some Project Kics spacers since I don't have to deal with installing longer bolts (but the smallest they have is 15mm). I might just have to get the 10mm Ichiba spacers... .


I'm sorry, WHAT?!?! I definitely have to disagree with this one. So you'd rather have a wheel that pretends to be a two-piece wheel vs. a real one? You'd rather have plastic imitation bolts than real ones? You'd rather have heavier wheels rather than lighter ones? The Ruff Racing wheels are great for the money but for the looks,performance, and quality Volk Racing is light-years ahead...
