they are 17x7 40 offset enkei somethings i dont even know the name of them. i want some spacers to put on to push them out, but the car isnt going to get driven much this winter.

The tires are falken ziex 512s 225/50/17. the bumps arent soo hard anymore and acceleration is quicker. maybe ill sell my 18s...hmm

 

They look decent for 17's, too bad the offset wasn't a little less to make them more flush with the body though. But I don't know how much my opinion matters since people think I have bad taste in wheels for some reason

 

I think they look great. I'm not a big fan of anything bigger than 17" They end up looking like the wheel on an old covered wagon. (and ride like it too)

 

yeah i want to push them out to the wheel wells, i think i can push the rears farther since i rolled my inner fender lips for my 18s. im happy since they were soo darn cheap.


thanks for the compliments guys.

 

I like those a lot. They look like James92SE's wheels.

I wish I could have found a set like that in gunmetal. I bet they are a lot lighter than my 17s, too.

 

I actually have a set of 2 H&R spacers that I bought for my third gen but the wheel studs didn't fit in the hub. I spent $140 for them with shipping so it was a waste of money, so just be careful with the H&R's, I think they have two different kinds of studs for Nissans.

 

if i can find time, my friend said he wold paint them, i wanted him to paint them before i put them on but i was too busy. cuz i think a gunmetal would look pretty tight on my car. james' rims are way better than mine, lol.

like this?

Not bad, G. Now I can race you...in my truck!

 

sorry I dont like them...I like the G 18s much better.

Of course if you had really light 18s like PAs (my old wheels) then you wouldnt have to worry about acceleration. .

 

haha J, you know Ill smash your truck, lol. nice labatts banner, whered you get it, hehe.

awsm66, i didnt get rid of them, but winters here are not friendly, so i had to get tires that would hold up in it, but i wont be driving it much.

i want something with a deep dish and something that sits flush and is light.

 

I like them, your car looks to be in really good shape too. Are those Hella E36 headlights?

 

yes sir, flush mounted e36s.

 

Can you use any type of e36s? or just a certain type? was lookin at a few custom ones at this site.. http://www.k2motor.com/e366.html

 

I actually really liked the look of the G35 wheels better. Not bad, though.

 

Forget selling... donate them to someone who will use them... like me.

Of course at my current fund rate, I'll have enough to buy brake pads for my Maxima... this time next year.

 

Gregg, for winter wheels, they look good.

 

nice scratch on your front bummper triplegmax....<-----LOL


where did you get them wheels from???? i kinda like them......i like the G35's too......so where u get them from????? and how much????? if u want PM me

 

i got the wheels locally, the tires from another org member. i got a great price so i put them on. I didnt want to put my stock rims back on ever again, except to burn the tires up lol. vans, did you get my pm?

 

yes sir and thank you... but i cannot find diagrams of what the diferent wires do.... do you know what i mean???? like i need to cut the wires and re-solder them to another wire.. but which wire do i do it to???? some have 2 and some have 3... so where does that extra wire go???

 

Forgive my northern ignorance..

But why cant you use the G35 wheels/tires in the winter? Surely stock G35's roll around all winter on those same wheels and tires, no?

 

My tires are not rated at all for snow so i wasnt even going to attempt to drive in snow with them. that is all. my rims do look like smaller version of yours james. are yours enkeis?

 

no his are ROTA Subzeros...they look similar but if you look close they are more different than you think.

I really didnt read all your post earlier all I saw was that you were thinking of getting rid of the G wheels. I think the wheels you have on are great for winter wheels considering most just use stock wheels and such...its pretty cool you have some decent looking 17s for winter use. I am glad I dont have to worry about different wheels here although I do hope we get some snow this year...I dont think we have had any in about 5 years (not that stuck anyway). It snowed pretty good when my wife was pregnant with my oldest (7 now) and maybe one other time since then.

Dont get rid of the G wheels though .

 

BTW Gregg, you need tint badly!

 

 

Yeah, I think 18s are overkill myself and 17s fit the bill just right.

 

you need leather FAR more then you need those 17's!

~Alex

 

Yes, and you do need new leather also.

 

haha i have leather....just not black leather with no tears.

 

Some big red calipers would look really good under those....

 

Nice rims. My mom has the exact same on her Toyota Solara. Yes, my dad and I picked out some rims in place of the dinky 15" hubcaps in came with. They are the RSF-2 model if I remember correctly.
