My New 17" Drag Wheels with Nitto Neo Gen 225/45ZR-17

Selling my 18' 350Z Wheels in 'For Sale' Forum. I was looking for a less harsh ride. The 17's feel great.

Looking good.

I guess since I'm old school, I still like the contrast of chrome and black rubber the best, but these look good.

What boat yard was the picture taken at?

Frank, when changing wheel sizes, there is a formula for picking the tire size to keep the overall circumference the same as stock. You can find online calculators for that. They say that is important for speedo, anti lock brakes, etc. I went down to 17 for a bigger sidwall then my 18s. I feel like I went from a track Z the touring Z. More comfortable ride.

I did not like the chrome center caps with the DRAG logo. So I painted them to match the wheels and has a custom insert made.
