New kicks for the NC!

So I found a great deal on SCCAforums.com for a set of wheels and I couldn't pass it up. They are Kazera KZ-Vs in 17x7 with a 50mm offset. They got slightly less offset than the stockers and weigh around 16 lbs vs. the 17 lb OEMs. Kazera is the same company that makes one of the more popular Spec Miata wheels.

They started out in silver with a machined lip and I painted the centers black. The wheels only came with 2 center caps but the Rota caps from my P1s fit with a little help. I'm pretty happy with the end results:

The look of the NC has really been growing on me.

Thanks guys!

Remember, I've got a great deal on OEM wheels and tires if your interested.

Billy, just buy the whole set, keep one for your spare and part out the other three on Ebay. They're going for over $200 each without tires.

Who would drive a car that has black rims with a polished lip? Looks good Thomas.

ROFLMAO!!! I better get some chrome plated roll bar covers! But really, the resemblance is uncanny!

Yes, this is BR Junior because it probably weighs less due to less chrome and dynamat. ;)

At least lower it some. Got some used prokit springs for $100 if you're interested. Used for 10k.

LOL, my wife is opposed to me lowering it at all, says it is low enough already and she has a hard time getting in and out of it as is.
