it almost looks too fake... the wheels are a poor choice... those things belong on a SUV... might not looks so bad if he put some tire shine one...

exactly, he even got a bad looking wheel and the tires are way oversize... so is he running a 4.11 rear now to correct his speedo??? Rediculous... but ok, hes got 20's.
If tire size didn't matter I suppose you could fit 22's on a Z as well but why... might as well airbag it while you're at it.

The wheels suck..BAD but I like the vents...I think seriously with bleach's wheel/tire combo it would look cool...and maybe a different color on the car..like black.

Horrible wheels. I wonder how bad he rubs when turning or compressing the suspension. The fenders are interesting though. Seems like they went all out on the fenders and got tired and didnt do anything to the rest of the body. Too bad, that 280Z has some potential.

All I can is yuck, what were they thinking? To desescrate an older 280z, which I will get in the near future. But yeah I agree, it looks like a big oversized hot wheels. Ha ha, anyway as everybody know, I am not a big fan of huge #ss wheels to begin with. But I will admit the 18's on Rod, and Bleach's car are growing on me a little.

Ok now my two cents. I think the car looks ok with 20's, it is just the fact that they make the car look more like a buble, then a z. I also agree it was a bad choice of color, unless thats your thing. The wing I felt was not a bad choice, it was the 20's that made it look off. I also liked the vents, because it made it look kinde of like a viper.

No offense, but I would never want my Z looking like a Viper. I never was much impressed with them anyways. Too bulky, and overrated, granted they have gobs of horsepower. But in looks, I give them a low grading. Just my 2 cents.
