I'm gonna skip all the boring stuff, but if you have questions about what bolt ons or tires or anything I have or have had I will tell you!

Well I bought the car last october almost stock like this!


Then I decided I wanted to go the stance route and picked up some D2 coilovers.


I was young and dumb and thought XXR's would be cool.. Waste of time and money, lesson learned.


I wasn't happy with the amount of low the D2's gave me so i sold them to a friend and bought Stance (starting to make some good decisions finally)






Sold the XXR's and tried some MB battles. Didn't really like the setup so sold them after like 2 weeks.


Then a big step in the right direction I bought some RPF1's.





I have since sold those and now gonna be buying 19x9.5/10.5 varrstoen es2 in hyperblack. here she is waiting for her new setup as she sits now.

Fake played out wheels, kind of cool wheels, legit wheels...

More fake and played out wheels?

Wrong direction...

Nice z33 though, keep her clean and keep looking around, there are quite a few exceptional examples of z33's on here.

[SamPappas]

Eeh. The RPF1's are cool and all, but I really want 19's. And I absolutely cannot stand the black on black. There was no contrast, it looked like one big black blob driving down the road. Plan on running like 225/35 245/35 +2F -12R on my Varrs when I get them. I don't think Varrstoen's are in a different bracket than RPF1's really considering you can buy used Varrs and RPF1's for the same price.

Same.. Idk rpf1s are rad imo. Space them out, 235/40; 225/40 and slam it. Will remain functional and look cool. Varrstoens are pretty heavy, you'll definitely notice a performance difference with em

[SamPappas]

On my rpf1's I was running 245/40 225/40 +0F -5R. It's a daily driver/cruiser to commute to school and work. I do drift at the local events on occasion, but the wheels get taken off the car for that anyways.

[scweet14]

fake wheels, ok wheels, then legit wheels. then back to fake wheels.

personally i would of saved up and bought wheels you dont have to use spacers to get negative offsets.

but to each his own, also on the good decision making, completely blacked out tails are never a good decision

[meech]

**** the tail lights, but I like the car and think the 19's will look sick, dosnt make sense to spend 4k on wheels to me anyway. What are you gonna save 5 lbs per corner? I feel like the expensive wheel trend is an ego thing. but hey I'm just a kid

[SamPappas]

I've really been wanting to untint the tail lights. That was an impulse thing, my friend had VHT and pressured me into it cause he said it would look sick. It looks ok, but I wanna buy some 06+ tails. And my car will look sooo much better on 19's. And I'm 20 years old working part time and I'm a full time student, I will stay within my means. If I could afford real Volks I would buy real Volks.

[SamPappas]

New setup should go on tomorrow night. Think I will lower the car some more onto those big 19's

I've been in this position in the past. A rag and some goo off goes along way. Once all the tint is off the lenses may look cloudy, if they do take some polishing wax and a buffer to them.

You're welcome.

Between engineering physics two and calculus 2 I can barely find time to eat. Sounds like a winter break project to me lol.

[SamPappas]

fake played out wheels don't look bad

[SamPappas]

first photoshoot with the new wheels

[MarkoE500]

i'm diggin the new wheels! I'd choose a different color if they were mine.. but the car looks really good from what it started from!!

[SamPappas]

I think the color is my favorite part. That hyper black is awesome, you need to see it in person to truly appreciate it. It's caught somewhere between chrome and gun metal and looks amazing. But once I space em out it's gonna look even better
