the wheels i ordered for my z came in, and all i can think about is how much better they would've looked on my 8, or any 8 for that matter. 18x10 +12 all the way around.

Anybody in central mo do fiberglass repair, and do it right? Smashed my front bumper on a pot hole the other day and need it fixed before spring. Money really isn't an issue, I'm n the military and have nothing else to spend it on... lol.

The bad thing is that I really want the 19s now. Someone needs to sell me some used coilovers instead.

Not available in gold in the larger sizes. I like it a lot after having gold wheels for a while.

You would be cheating because the Z is easier to fit huge wheels. The 531s are cool but I'm still digging a concave wheel right now over a lip. I can't afford wheels this year. Doing body work over the summer so it can be ready for paint this time next year.

Rolled into an Expedition trailer hitch after they went and then immediately slammed on their brakes. Shopping bumpers and side skirts. Wife said I could use her Christmas bonus next year for paint as a graduation present.

Hit up japanparts.com It's all authentic stuff that costs way too much to have shipped over. But some of it is awesome.
