Pics of my new Volks!
Hey guys. I haven't been on here in awhile but I wanted to share some pictures of my new car and my new wheels. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.
Pikes Peak White 2006 350Z
On Volk RE30s. Which are Volk's newest forged monoblock wheel. So they weigh in around the TE37 and CE28N but are supposedly 30% stronger. I've got the first set in the US.
Here is a mod list of my car:
Nismo LSD
Nismo power steering cooler
Turbo XS UTEC engine management w/ wideband
Strupp test pipes
JWT popcharger (intake)
ACT clutch
ACT flywheel
Track Model Brembos
Stoptech Stage II Kit (lines, rotors, pads, fluid)
Volk racing RE30s 18x9.5 18x10.5
Falken Azenis RT615s
HKS Hipermax RS coilovers (on order)
SPC rear camber/toe kit (on order)
and other stuff I'm forgetting
I've basically gotten all of my wheel/tire/drivetrain mods out of the way and am moving into the suspension. After I'm done with the suspension, I'll probably move on to aesthetics and engine performance.

Rep Power: 0 Thanks for all the comments guys. I got them from Andy @ Performance Nissan. MyNismo.com - Home Page They have kick *** service and sell aftermarket parts for all types of cars. Definitely a place to call if you want some sick *** Japanese wheels.
I think, technically, the RE30s get released next month but Andy is in good with the guys at Mackin Industries and got a pre-release shipment.
The gold is a custom color I had to pay a little bit more for but I thought they would look good and I wanted to be a little different from others that will order this wheel.
The offsets are +18 in the rear and +15 in the front, so I had to cut the rear fenders in order for my RT615s to fit. I'm also gonna have to run a little negative camber. I'm thinking about -1.5 all around. That should give me better turn-in, as well.

Rep Power: 0 Here are some updated pictures. I just installed some HKS Hipermax RS coilovers. Next up is a SPC rear camber/toe kit and Cusco control arms and sway bars. Then I may add a bodykit but I'm not sure. If I do, it'll probably be the C-West N1 kit or the Nismo Version 2 kit.
