350 Rims

Has anyone put 350 rims on thier 300. I really like the way they look, and im curious to see how they look on a 300 before i actually go buy them.

Well, the reason I ask. Is becuase I can get a chrome set from the firestone around here for most likely nothing. Some guy came in and had his rims changed, and bought the triple wiked potenza reo40's i think thats they, for his car. And told them to get rid of the other rims becuase he didnt want them. Hes out of his mind. So the boss told my firend that if i wanted them, becuase he to loves the z, he said i can take them. I think i will take them anyway and sell them if it came to it.

You could go with some PIAA lights on your roof as well. I saw a lifted limo the other day...pretty funny looking...kinda sweet in it's own way though.

Um, I don't know if excited is the right word. Interested maybe, but not excited. Why?!? How did I miss the post about him lifting the Z. I don't think it was a case of selective reading.

Hmmm. I figured he was just joking since it was immediately following Wreckers comment of lowering the car 1-2". Anyone who lowers a Z32 2" should be shot on the spot. Raising it 4" would be just as bad. I guess that's what he was referring to.

My bad. I meant to say that lowering a Z32 by 2" would be just as bad as raising it 4'. Both would have the effect of creating a useless automobile. "=inches. '=feet. My bad. I added an extra ' before the 4 in my previous post.

same here... i wouldn't recomend lowering it any more than that, since Z is already low as hell.... it's so much fun to pull up next to a slammed-to-the-ground Ricer, and you are still lower than him, then you take off, and see him bouncing up and down trying to keep up

That's exactly why you shouldn't lower a Z32 more than an inch.

Last time I checked, Steve Millen doesn't drive that to work, or the store, or anywhere else besides on the track. Smartass
