Pics of my Z with new 18's

Got my new wheels so took some pics. I'll take some better ones eventually because my back is still in pretty bad shape so can't get out to wash it or put on any tire shine. The wheels are Enkei PK6's.

I also got my intake done and a catback exhaust and it sounds WICKED now.....kinda Ferrari'ish which I'm a big fan of

that looks awesome man. That dish is to die for. Missed you at the last meet. Hopefully you'll be feeling well enough to make it to the next one. I just got some new rims for my car too. unfortunately it's in the shop getting repiared from an accident I got in a few months ago. Hopefully the wheels will be on by the next meet.

yeah, I need to get some engine and exhaust pics up. Once my back is well enough to actually give it a good wash and detail and I'm gonna take a bunch of new pics.

I think I'll be at the next Raleigh meet too so can't wait to catch the new wheels!

awesome.....the new wheels and rubber really lightened up the handling a great deal. Now it goes much easier wherever you point the wheel. It's a huge difference and still has perfect balance and alignment like stock which made me happy.

I would have in a heartbeat but it's significantly more expensive and I couldn't swing it. Most of the track editions I've seen on the lots have a sticker of at least $36k and I got my enthusiast out the door for right at $28k. The track edition now has 300hp but for '03 and '04 the HP was the same for all models. It's also got Brembo brakes and lightweight 18" wheels and it wasn't worth the extra financial strain....especially since the stock brakes are so good and I was gonna ditch the stock wheels anyways no matter which trim level I got.

That's cool, I understand. I remember reading at the launch of the 350Z, that the Track Package had a carbon-fiber driveshaft. Is this true?
