As most of you know, I dismantled my 300ZX a few months ago due to its many faults. I've sold about two thirds of the cars parts thanks partly to the Z forum.

Was just wondering where you got your wheels ? Tried a few different places, but could only get them in 9x18 for the rear, but yours are 9.5 Also, did you have any problems getting them to fit. Guy I spoke to reckons 35mm offset for the fromt and 45 at the back - seems odd.
