SkYBlue280Z Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 What do you guys think of the car? Wheels? And everything else Give me your opinion please. I am still trying to decide on the chrome wheels.... Maybe a reversed wheel would look better? Thanks CAR: 1978 280Z (automatic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Overall look is very clean. I like the pinstriping on the hood. The wheels are nice, but i've always preferred a nice powder coat or brushed metal look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texis30O Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 to be honest it is not my style. I think the wheels over power the car along with the chrome rocker panel. Kudos on the original color, but I can't really say anything cause the pics are BLURRY.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpetRhapsody Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Yeah forgot to mention that; not quite my style overall either. But that doesn't mean I don't like it, I do, just means I'd do it different. It looks like you've tried to keep a somewhat stock look; what with keeping the side chrome strips, chrome rocker panel, and stock bumpers. That's definitely to be respected. In your case, I do dig the headlight covers though, nice addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 it looks good except the wheels. i dont like chrome wheels on most cars. very clean car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.I.jonas Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Ditch the wheels and it will rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkYBlue280Z Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 thanks for your honest opinions, ya you guys are right, those wheels do kinda overpower the car, I mean... I do get complements on them at times, but I get more people saying it needs more of a lip, like the sportmax 002's or something. They are expensive and nice wheels, but they just don't go with the car. What do you guys recommend? For wheels that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 you need to lower it also looks high to me. and get some pics that arent blurry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkYBlue280Z Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 ill take some now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Barring the blurry pics, I think the wheels go well with the car. I even hate chrome rims, but on this it seems to match. Going with a less shiney wheel would them make teh bumpers and rocker panel trim overpowering, and then would need to remove parts of those.

SkYBlue280Z Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Sorry for the blurry ones.... What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.I.jonas Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Sorry dude those wheels need to be burned on a cross,otherwise you car is sweet.Like said previously removing the wheels might make the rest of the chrome stand out but imo it will still be an improvement.

Gareth Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Ditch the wheels, change the bumpers, throw out the bumper guards, and it will become a nice 280Z. I'm a minimalist though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Now that you posted some clear pics, I see I have the same wheels on my DD (1998 Malibu), but in the silver finish, not the chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto that ^ Panasports would look best on that car! Heck, Panasports look best on any Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkYBlue280Z Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 I really like these, if I were to buy, which color should I go with? I know the black would go good with the black on the pin stripe and tinted windows and silver always looks good. So which ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndeli55 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 agreed, silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbk240z Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I would go with the silver wheels as well. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar240z Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Ditch the wheels, change the bumpers, throw out the bumper guards, and it will become a nice 280Z. I'm a minimalist though. x3 im not fond of the door trim either. paint looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
