    Any idea what to inflate these tyres to? I have no documentation for them. Suppose I'll ask them to be sure.

    Look great!

    I'm starting to warm to black rims, not sure they look good on all different coloured Z's but they look great on yours.
    18's were a good choice, 19's are a bitch on our local roads.

    40-42psi sounds about right. Lots of road works around the Gold Coast at the moment, more than usual with the stupid train works everywhere.

    All these mclovin comments.. why did I ever change my nick? :eek:

    38-40 PSI for the front... 40-42 PSI rear. Get yourself an accurate tyre pressure gauge too.
    You have good tyres, not enough pressure will wear them too fast. :)

    Does not include tyres. On that note I have baked beans for dinner for a long time.

    Advan RD-G forgies in that size are $1100 for fronts and $1300 for rears plus shipping and tyres. I'm currently eating bake beans and bread to try and get some.

    Technically speaking each car will be different to some degree, You are supposed to add or remove pressure according to tire wear, If it wears in the middle more they have too much pressure if they wear on the outside edges more then there is not enough. Also less pressure will hurt fuel economy, have you ever tried to push a car with flat tires?

    Mclovin, not sure if you have mentioned it, but what sizes are your tyres?

    Can't see the sizes clearly in the photos :(

    Looks pretty decent mate. Very clean and tidy across the board.

    As for tire pressures, i would run them at a higher rate. 40-42 so to get maximum tread life and efficiency from them yokos. We used to run circa 38 due to our average roads, but our alignment guy said to pump them up more. Seems to be handling and wearing better.

    Regardless, nice stuff.
