I was tempted to go for those, but decided on the smaller and lighter wheels so I can beat 350Z's easier.

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/
