i was just wondering how installing nismo rims on my 2003 350z would affect the handling of my car....does anyone know

theyre rims.....
unless theyre lightweight...?

so you are saying that unless i install other suspension mods also...just putting rims on will have no positive or negative effects on handling...

coil overs... front and rear strut bars
aint sway bar
.. those are good directions to go in for suspension mods

if they're the same size, no.
a bigger wheel, with new tires, will make a difference.

if you're going to a lighter wheel in the same size, braking/accel will be slightly better, but not spectacular unless you get different tires.

thanks for the info

i reread this...
you don't need suspension mods to handle great (at least not coils/coilovers)
read the scc write up on their 350z.
they put better sway bars on, bigger tires/wheels, and and LSD, and pulled over 1g on the skidpad.

Heres motivation. Nismo 19's LMGT4's. Powdercoated black. Love these rims. Very light weight.

i really like the look of the powder coated black nismo rims...about how much does it cost to get a good powder coating job done on a set of rims? anyone know of a good place to get it done?

If you are in Cali. Performance Nissan can powedercoat your 18 inch LMGT4's for 350.00 (black color). If you go gunmetal it is 475.00. Got these prices off their website.

thanks..
