Naked Z with naked canons

Hello readers and members, one of our BZOCA member's Z has been stripped naked (front bumper sideskirts and rear bumper off) due for an awesome makeover. The pics below shows how it looks like. The exhaust that hes using is the HKS true dual (USA version) which looks really mean without the rear bumper and the rear spoiler is brought to you by Esprit. Enjoy...

Rims

Hello readers, as all BZOCA members would acknowledge, changing the Z's rims (shoes) significantly changes the overall look of a Z. With additional mods done (suspension upgrade, fender mods, chamber adjustments etc), any Z owner can achieve the "right" look that they wanted.

Well known rim manufacturers such as Rays, Works, Enkei, SSR and a few others are the preferred Z enthusiasts path in selecting the perfect shoes. Apart from choosing the face designs, choosing correct sizes and offsets are very important too so do your survey carefully and make your 1st purchase to be a memorable one.

Preferred size for a Z would be 19 inches, 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rear wide. As for offsets, it varies from the manufacturers. We here at BZOCA are fortunate to have a few members with good taste in choosing their 1st set of rims. Just to list out, a few BZOCA members' are running:
