Where did you find the 18" dia x 335 wide Continentals? They've been really hard to find, are they in stock now?

Damn. That thing is sweet.

I spent a great deal of time looking for a '90 Z in that color. Needle in a haystack...

I like those wheels. Looks like about $1400 or so per wheel if I’m looking in the right place. Maybe a next year project. Would certainly allow bigger brakes to be installed versus the current J55 setup.

Only about an inch.......shocked at how much difference it made...and how well it put it in line with the front.

They are like hen's teeth......I actually sold this one about ten years ago.........
Lucky enough to buy it back at reasonable price.

A '90 color chip brochure I have does not even list Quasar Blue for '90; However the same type brochure lists it for '91. Must have been a late addition; my car is build #2575, so pretty late '90

Meh.....everyone has Fikses.......

I had em on my last ZR-1, and think they are great wheel choice.........but I also like the Gen II Dymags, and these reminded me of them a bit.....very happy with my wheel choice........especially, since it is so easy to have a swing and a miss.........and I probably have the only one.
