Cool New Here (From Minnesota)

Hi everyone. New to the forum here hoping to get some useful stuff out of here.

About me:
Just sold my 2006 350z


(Yes I did drift it)
http://youtu.be/xSLCuWNzX0U

Picked up my 2001 Gs300 last weekend


As for the GS I do have some plans with her. Things I am looking into doing:

Add A Nice Sub (that mark evenson doesn't sound very good)

Tint

Coilovers (any suggestions)?

Wheels (Tried fitting my Varrstoen 2.2.2 I had on my Z but the fit like crap 19x10.5 +0 rear 19x9.5+0 front) I would like to go with a set of 19's or 20's but what width and offset should i be looking for? Any help would be great! Thanks in advance

Welcome! I have always loved that color GS! Offsets closer to +20 F/R is perfectly flush. I think you should make your current wheels fit.. but that's just me. GL

that's a clean Z you had there. anyway, welcome. if youre on the budget side for coils, look into megans. but if you wanna spend just a bit more, theres BC Coils and Stance. the CL vendors are good here. those wheel offsets you have..a lot of the hardcore guys here would roll, shave, and pull fenders to fit it in and with that route theres things that need to be considered..suspension parts..camber..headache. bleh...

Well I already have 2 things I wanted to do done. Had my windows tinted last night. 35% side windows, 20% rear window, 20% eyebrow on the front windshield. I also added a 12 inch Diamond audio sub with a Rockford amp. Man these cars keep the sound down, but it sounds great in the car!
