New Wheels - 1999 KH3 SE

I finally got around to putting the new wheels on, bought in November from Daysce. They are 18" Mille Miglia Evo5's wrapped with 235/40/18 Kumho Ecsta Supra's. All feedback is welcomed.

a kit and a 15-20mm spacer in the rear would really set it off. looks great nonetheless.

Looks great! +1 on the spacers (at least in the rear), maybe some nice Red calipers. IMO.

car looks GOOD.. VERY clean & simple. Only thing i would do different is add a Apex-i WS2/Greddy SP2 muffler to go with the flow. That stock Tip is killing the rear

Thanks man. I would love to slap a Stillen kit on but I know it would get destroyed with the roads around here...

I was going to wait another few weeks until it warms up enough to paint the calipers before putting them on, but I couldn't wait. they will either be painted red or black.

It is tinted 35% on the sides, 25% on the rear. Haha, the lighting in these pictures doesnt do much justice. Im dropped about 2" all around.

Thanks man. How is your car coming? Spacers might come at a later time if I can justify spending money on them...haha.

I had a purchase on a Cattman catback that fell through, but the tip I had on there all last year fell off... I bought a new one today but didnt get a chance to put it on yet.



The car is still in need of a detail (clay/polish/wax, paint calipers, exhaust tip, clean windows, interior detail too). NE winters suck...

And thanks for all the positive comments!

Wow, looks good. I agree with the tip statement, but you already addressed that. When I'm not at school, I live really close to Wrentham, and yes, the winters/road salt is really bad for keeping a car clean there.

The paint is OEM as far as I know. Minus the front clip, which I am 99% sure has been repainted. It matches flawlessly tho.

Yea, it has finally settled to about 2 fingers in both the front and back. I am really happy with the results.

This is from last summer...there is now a VAFC-II mounted on the ashtray and I have a different radar, hardwired up near the rearview mirror. I have also installed the I30 Autodimming mirror and leather ebrake handle. AE pedals with the 350z dead will be going in soon too.

Trust me, I would have gone darker if I could have gotten away with it. Living in MA with 35% legal limit sucks, but I would rather do legal than have to deal with cops.

They are Z rated tires and so far they have had decent grip. However coming from near-bald all summer tires, these are a big upgrade.

Yea, all I needed was 45*+ for 10 days and I was good to go. If we have snow again ill be pissed, but I just wont drive it for a few days.

Haha, I know all the codes but the RS6FS1A one. I am definitely going to paint the calipers when the weather gets warmer, and they will most likely be black to match the rest of the car.

Believe it or not, they are only (guessing) around 10 lbs heavier than stock, per wheel. I know that they weigh 24 lbs each without tires. I definitely noticed slower braking, and maybe a little when accelerating...maybe its just me though. It is worth it to me, I will just swap the stocks when I go to the strip.

your car looks really really nice man. Not too much going on but just enough to catch someone's eye, which in my opinion, is the way modding should be done. I even liked your car when you had the OEM rims on haha...very tastefully done sir
