Update: Well really not by choice on what I decided to do after it happened. I had a front left tire come apart on me yesterday on the freeway. (Yes come literally apart) Luckily it didn't cause an accident. And it did not damage my Z's body.

Anyway, I got 225 50 15's today used. They were $200 out the door. I priced a set of Falkens out the door at $425 in that size. I am really digging the look. And I will post pics when I get home. I took some when I got home after getting them mounted. I have to get to work here in a few.

Sorry no pictures. My memory card wont allow me to put anything on it. It says it is write protected. How would I get that off, so I can load pictures on it? Also, how did it get on there in the first place? Any tips or insight would be much appreciated.

On the left hand side, about a third of the way down is a little light blue slider. If this gets slid down, it locks it and you can't put anything on or delete anything. Slide it back up and it will work again. Kinda like the little tab that was on top of a cassette tape.

Lol, after about 1/2 hour of head scratching one day I noticed the little slider lock, don't know how it got moved, but it sure stumped me for a while!

Pics as promised

Well here they are, thanks to evandubya. Enjoy, and feel free to comment.

Here is the result of my tire coming apart on the freeway. It is amazing, and a miracle that I didn't get in an accident or flip my car.

I have a couple more pics, that I forgot to put on my card. They are still on my phone. Also, I am planning on getting new center caps and putting some decals on them. What they will be will be a surprise. Anyway, enjoy.

lol...was There was a fire at S.R.P. that day. I think they blew a transformer. Power was out for a few hours. In the picture it was more controlled. When it started before that. It was a really black colored smoke.

And thanks man, and cool looking forward to seeing the wing mounted.

You might want to get some new rings - looks like it's burning a little oil ;P

Could you tell me what diameter these tires are, er the aspect ratio? Are they 275/40R17 or 275/35R17? On -19mm offset 17x9 wheels?
