Hey Patrick, don't let this happen to your new wheels![/b]
I'll leave my opinion of Rota's to myself but that is a 350Z.
I know those dirty gold Brembos.Finally Ordered
Well, for $165 a rim i can afford 3 or 4 replacements before I get into the realm of VOLK and WORK rims.
Rims came on Friday and are on the car right now. I'll try to get pics tomorrow.
First impressions are great, the car feels more alive and really loves the corners more than before, plus you can't really see brake dust on thses wheels, so I solved all sorts of problems with these wheels.
They definitely are not the prettiest wheels out there, and I am surprised at how much smaller the 17's look compared to the 18's, but looks were the second to last thing on my list of requirements out of a wheel.

looks nice. I think I saw your cruizing down HR Parkway around 10:30 this morning.

Looks really nice. Those sidewalls don't look too overbearing. I know you did it for performance reasons only, but it's always nice to look good while doing it.
Bummer about the ding in the rear fender flare though.

Yup, that ding is in a terrible spot too. I went to the dent doctor off of Broadway and he said around $200 to fix it, and that's if they can get to it. I guess going through the wheel well won't work because of the way the car is built and the only other way is possibly through the trunk. The one good side is that he said he wouldn't charge me if they couldn't fix it.

You sure it's a 350Z? You may know those Brembos, but how well do you know that suspension attachment?
