Ya man, I need stock Evo wheels, either VIII or IX, to trade my car in. They requested the tires to have enough to pass inspection for whoever buys it next...

Dex has a couple sets of stock wheels. He would probably be interested in some lighter track wheels anyways... Marshall if you end up needing wheels I will be glad to swap tires on to my stockers. I really want my winter tires since they are like $225 a piece but i dont really car what wheels i run.

if a car fails inspection, the dealer is responsible for fixing whatever it is that makes it fail, so they are covering their *** in case the car inspection station actually does their job.

even so, there is a 3 day period in MA that a buyer can change their mind. if the car fails inspection, i think they'd have reason to get their money back if they wanted.

350Z's are very nice cars, I owned one for 2 years before the evo, but they have alot of little quirky problems. Clicking rear axle's, tranny's issues ect. that were horrible in '03 and I'm not too sure if they fixed thigns in later production years. Also one odd thing that I noticed in not only mine, but 2 other Z's (another '03 & '05) while driving under normal condition's, a large amount of heat would be given off from the tranny tunnel, enough to make you put on the AC after making you that hot. It started this right before I traded it in, so I never looked too much into it. Not trying to sit here and bash Nissan or the Z, they were a well built car overall with a strong motor that was very fun to drive, they just had odd and end things that get annoying sometimes. Oh yeah, make sure the fuel hose from the fill point to the tank recall was done, as Nissan stated it "Fuel leaking from deffective hose could be ignited from hot exhaust components that could potentially cause car to burst into flames" lol. I'll never forget that letter, I might have even kept it because it was so amusing.

Ya, I know man. Whatever, as long as they are close to the 'legal limit'. I don't think it matters if there are snows on them or not. I have summers on it now, so it is only logical for them to expect me to have a set of winters. So wait, you have a set of VIII's with a crappy set of winters, then the SE's, and another set with Blizzaks? Or are the blizzaks on the VIII's? Either way, if no one else is interested, winters will work fine for me!

Dex should definitely trade up And yes, I am trading it in. So do I give a f*** what the tires are, no. The dealer just explicitly said, make sure the tires on the stock wheels have enough tread to pass...whatever though. A set of stockers with a crappy set of all-seasons would be best, since the cheaper the better. But doesn't matter to me. I would rather give someone a set of brand new wheels with Advans and trade for stockers (plus a little cash...) then trade the car in with them and actually lose a little money...
