Help needed

Just recieved my latest order from Japan

Now I have 2 sets of AVS model 5 wheels and 1 set of Veilside Andrew Racing Dish wheels.

My problem is which set should I use on Tamyias 350 Z Track edition?

Veilside


AVS Model 5


or

Standard wheels



I like this Tamyia kit as it seems to be the most "user friendly" when it comes to after market wheels Lets hope Tamiya make more kits similar

i deifnitley think the Model 5's would look ripper on it. the Veilside's are too VIP-ish for a 350Z. the model 5's provide that perfect japanese tuner car feel/look.

The AVS 5's from this bunch to choose from (they look great on almost everything), but damn...why can't Tamiya just do the REAL track edition rims, which would look awesome! Much better than the rims for the standard Z. And Infiniti's 18" 7 spoke version of the track rims, on the 6 speed G35 are incredible too, but nobody does good BIG diameter 7 spoke rims

They do; I was gonna use them on mine but somebody beat me to it I used the tires from the kit to give them a more aggressive look but when I found out that idea was already in progress, I shelved the project until later. By the way, the latest Super Street has a buncha nice pictures of a buncha 350Zs at a show in Las Vegas. Great reference material
