I've always liked the look of black wheels on a dark blue car, so after 5 years I decided to take the plunge.... 

So I reverted back to some Cruise 190s - this time in gloss black, with polished rims and Nismo centre caps. I ordered some new Bridgestone Potenza Sport tyres from National Tyres/Halfords (265/35/18 rear and 235/40/18 front - £552 all in) and had them fitted at home yesterday. Great service, by the way, their technician, Nick, was really good!

They should keep me happy for another 5 years, until I change my mind again LOL 😉 

Talking over - here are the pics....

Smart! For reference, what are the specs of the wheels and spacers (if used)?

Thanks Andrew!

No spacers were used, just spigot rings as the wheel hub aperture is larger than the Z's hubs. Fronts are 8.5x18 with an et32 offset, rears are 9.5x18 with an et35 offset.

The convex (from the outside perspective) curve of the spokes gives plenty of clearance for the front calipers, so could accommodate a modest brake upgrade. 

Looking great Richard. I must admit I am not a big fan of black wheels but the chrome boarder sets them off.

Thanks Gary - and yes, I agree - especially with the deep dish on the rears!

Looking good Richard. Did our summer meet up inspire you at all? 😄
