Those things are great in bed.

I ordered the same style, but 16x8 +4
I was tempted to go for those, but decided on the smaller and lighter wheels so I can beat 350Z's easier.

i thought about the 16s just hard to find good tires. the rims are big but they are pretty light then what u expect. i might go weigh them tomorrow and see.

I thought about getting bigger rims also, but seeing that my car already rides like the proverbial log wagon, I don't think the bigger rims will help matters!

Tire width I'm going for is 225 F, 245 R. Easy to find. Any wider is impossible for lo-pro on 16's.

I hope my ride is decent with drop springs, new bushings, and big sway bars.

They are the exact same. One time I had a set of snowflakes on my Z31, and the z31 rims on my s130.

its the same bolt pattern. if i do fedex its around 100ish with the tires i believe unless you find a cheaper source. i need to get the exact weight and dimensions. im looking to get 550 for the rims/wheels+ shipping

well most z dashes crack and u have to get a cover. plastic welding is just melting plastic (exactly like soldering). i did this so the cracks would be gone then i fiberglassed the whole dash for a smooth look i guess. right now im just spotting it imperfections. sorry i dont have any pics of what it looked like before. these pics are of as it a couple days ago. so i guess their is nothing wrong with it per say. http://s47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...rbo/260z/dash/
