Message Well, heres the deal. Since I decided to do some off-road gardening in the Z, I really haven't had much of a chance to inspect everything that has happen. My main focus has been on ordering all the parts that I knew I needed right off the bat and working on the car along the way. Again, I haven't had alot of time to really get going on the strip down and inspection of the wheels and suspension.

Well within the last couple days, I managed to pull both the rear wheels off and put the stockers back on. Upon inspection of the rears, I found that one of them had a very bad flat spot in it. That wheel is hosed!!!! The other "looks" fine but have not been able to take it to a shop to see if it is still straight.

I knew that the front left had a huge flat spot in it as well, as I saw it when I removed the fender...and the fact that that wheel has been losing air. Unfortunately I can't switch out the fronts and put the stockers back on because my new big brake kit I installed recently...and I don't have the original brakes anymore. So I have been waiting for the time to put the car up on stands and just go to town.

I was planning on just ordering 4 new wheels of the same make and model as I really love the look and personallity that they have given my Z. According to TSW (one week ago) they had 10 in stock. Only 10!!!!!! Because this wheel has been discontinued. So finally I got around to checking out the front wheels and BOTH OF THEM are f*&$ed!!!!! So no I at least need three!!!!!

Called today to place an order for 4 of them....and they only have 2 left. the other 8 are gone!!!!!!!!!!

DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!! I am pissed! I really liked the wheel and the clean look.

So on to ya'll...... Please through me a bone of wheel choices that are near to or virtually the same as those that I have. I know that the SSRs are very close. Are there any others out there?

Also, after the rebuild, my Z will now be sporting the 99 J-spec front fascia. Same skirts and rear though. So if you have any sugestions as to another style that may look swell, let me know. If you have a pic or can PS some wheels on my car, that would be awesome.

I trust you all and apreciate many of your opinions and help.

Thanks in advance.
