Agreed, they are very heavy, but cheap! I just wanted a spare set for now but will definitely be after a set of lighter track wheels soon

Wow loads of replies! I've got a set of the 18" non-Rays wheels on their way, it's a 2nd set of wheels so wont need them to be road legal. Was going to go for 225/40-18, and 245/40-18 for now, would that be ok to keep the T/C happy? I'm not too worried about going bigger diameter or wider tyres yet, my last car was running 205/50-15's RWD with 250lb/ft torque so I'm used to balancing a car on the throttle!

Well, maybe not completely standard, forgot about the wheels and bits that have been colour coded!

Ended up picking it up later than first planned! Completely standard (for now) It's got just over 100,000 miles on it which is a little higher than I'd have liked but it's been very well looked after. Drives like a new car! 350

I've just got the insurance sorted for my new 350, the company I was with wanted £2800 ish to insure me (34 y/o, 12yrs NCB) bearing in mind they were charging me £270 a year for my previous car which was a heavily modified BMW e30 track car which was quicker than my 350! Apparently as they are modified specialists they didn't like the fact my new car is completely standard. Ended up paying £360 a year in the end with someone else which I was pleased with

Hi there, how old are the tyres?

That's great, thank you for the quick reply!

Hi all, Hope this hasn't been covered before, I did look but I'm still getting used to the forum so might not have looked in all sub-forums! Basically I want to get a second set of wheels to fit some trackday tyres, 888's if possible, ran these on my BMW I had before and loved them. Question is do I go for a set of the standard 350z 17" or 18" wheels to get the best tyre size? I thought I had it sorted until I read on here that if the difference in rolling radius from standard is changed then the traction control plays up, would this matter if the traction control was turned off while the different sized tyres were fitted? Any advice appreciated, thanks

Thanks for all the welcomes! Will get some pics sorted when I pick it up!

Hi all, I'm Jer from Bristol, Been browsing the forum for a while whilst looking for a 350z, and finally bought one today so joined up I'm picking it up on Wednesday, can't wait! It's a silver 55 plate, with the GT pack, very tidy and I love it!
