Those wheels seem weird... They look too small even though they aren't

Thanks guys!

BajaGTO; It's cause they are a three piece and give that appearance. However these are top of the line wheels in the import community.

I hear what you are saying in regards to the three piece construction/design. They just look 'weird' to me, but that is personal preference.

And, FWIW just because something is 'top of the line' doesn't make it attractive. See the Dartz Prombron for example.

I'm not much of a drag racer (more into road racing) but my best so far is 13.1 w/ 2.3 60'. Best trap is 117. Car weight is 3800lbs w/ full tank & driver. Need some more practice and I'm sure I can get it into the 12's. But I rather work on getting under 2mins on a 2+ mile track. Traction... LOL BFG KDW are only so good.

I didnt realize 350z's were that hefty. yeah with a lower 60' time, you could certainly hit 12's. 2.3 seems kinda high, with some practice you should be able to lower that, DR's would REALLY help. but well if your not into the strip, doesnt matter too much

Yeah the big brake kit, JL audio system and 19" 3-piece wheels don't help with weight. lol Nor does the driver. :o

Maybe in the future I'll go get some more practice and get better times. However I have surprised a couple sport car owners on the road.
