Talking Early Early christmas present!

well, i got a hell of a suprise the other day. My wife took asked me if she could take my Z to work one day, which happens quiet often, so i didnt think nothing of it. Well about lunch time she calls me and asked me to come up to her work and have some lunch with her. So, as i arrive at her work, i see my car and notice something different with it....it had new wheels and tires on it!

A friend of mine had been trying to sell a set of 10 spoke SS wheels for a while, but i just never got around to buying them. Well my sneeky wife got my phone, looked up his number, and bought them for me as a early christmas present! I was so damn suprised. It looks a hell of a lot better than the stock salad shooters. Here are some pics. Please excuse the front end of the car...it's very much under construction at the moment...im waiting on my new body panels to show up.

here ya go, let me know what you think!

Congrats on the wheels. I'm sure it'll look good once it gets the new body panels and paint

Yeah.. I've seen one before and I thought it looked pretty good. I've never seen them in chrome though, but I bet they would look bad *** too.
