You have G35 wheels on your Z, what's the difference?

Fair enough, The G wheels are 17" as opposed to 16", which will allow me to do a big brake upgrade, and they are 7.5 wide front and 8 wide rear instead of 7.5 all around. The tires on my stockers were shot and I got these on ebay for less than $600 delivered with good tires, so for not much more that the cost of new tires mounted and balanced, I got the whole thing. I changed the tails on my car but to the '99 J-Spec (red and white), still a factory part, and added clear corner markers up front, also factory. So I'm not against a bit of visual updating of the look of a car. Though I 'm not a fan of major body work just for the sake of major body work. The "Z" tails are part of it's heritage, one of the things I find disturbing about the 350z are it's tail lights. Before you were born (early 80's, and age may have something to do with my opinions) I was driving my Dad's '74 260z, it had 2 horizontal bars for the tails, similar to those on the z32, "styling heritage" that relates past models to current, keeping it visually related even though it is a newer car.
