Looks like the car had a body drop, the bottom portions of the fender wells are hang down.

You would have a lowered maxima to show for it.


Go on. . . buy some coilovers!
Great mind set MDeezy! I know that I'm gonna go for coilovers now thanks to that idea!

Rims look great man!

Thats how I look at it, I dont club that much, nor drink (I hardly do) all those $6 $10 drinks you'd get at the club, or $20-$70 bottle of alcohol people buy, I dont do that, so I fund my money to my car. A hobby much healthier for my than a long island ice tea, or a white russian.

/end pointless rant. . .

He actually is on TMEC but rarely posts anymore, I forgot his name. He was a 97 5 speed SE Sterling Mist with the AE 350z 18" wheels. I honestly did not like the way they looked in person on his car.

Well, I've never been to a club, never has a drink, but with things going the way they are at the moment it really isnt a good time to spend money at all, and my car is dropped on eibachs, so I dont think its too critical to get coilovers anytime soon.

thats right your dropped already. Then if your satisfied with your setup no real point of coilovers.

ofcourse modding need to be done responsibly, I keep telling myself that, I would love to buy some rims for my car, but I need a new tranny and clutch before rims. Would make sense to have a Sexy max on nice new wheels, but cant move due to dead clutch. . .

modding in moderation

This drop is too low for one thing, and another thing would be that to drop it this low you would have to do suspension mods no? $$

Imho, slammed cars look stupid, they don't ride nice, they scrape bottom regularly and the resale value is for ****, but hey if that's what floats your boat then go for it.

I think the Z wheels look tres cool and will look even better with a slight drop. Something still will be missing imho though, I think it would look swweeeet with a Stillen Aero kit.

Wow, those look real good. I was thinking I would love to add so me sort of 5 star type wheel to mine. That style seems to look the best on these cars. Good looking ride man!

I wanted those rims also but on second thought, they look nice but I think they look better on the 350Z. It could be that I'm starting to steer away from 5 spoke rims, I like 6 and 7 spokes better.

Someone photochop these wheels onto his car. Except either use the fronts or the rears because the front are 18's and the rears are 19's.

Relax dude, its just a photoshop. I'm not going that low. The kit would be nice but I live in San Francisco (hills / potholes / high curbs & driveways) so a daily driver with a kit would be out of the question.
