Inifinity G35 Rims??

Does anyone have an idea on the cheapest way to get the G35 Polished Coupe Rims. I just bought a 2003 Titanium Platinum Edition Maxima SE and saw these rims and they would look awesome on my new car. I am new to this website (which I think is just awesome) and would appreciate your insight.

Thanks,
HotMax03

My experiences with Ebay havent been very thrilling to say the least. I heard they are pretty expensive through a dealer. I think this one would be difficult to do but I love those rims and they would match the car perfectly!

Check the For Sale forums on G35driver and G35world. Someone must have them laying around... then I have first dibs on your Titanium Edition wheels

I think those rims would just look awesome. Maybe your not sure which ones but with the color of my car, at least I think they are hotter than most of the aftermarket rims I see. And I would certainly sell the Titanium Chrome Editions that I have! Ill keep you posted!

I'd be interested in buying your OEM rims. I purchased my O3 Titanium edition SE used and the original owner tried to clean with chrome cleaner which turns out to be a no-no and the wheels became pitted and have black splotches on them.

Thanks HotMax and thanks Mr. Peabody for being such a gentleman

By the way, HotMax, I will have to agree and say that G coupe rims look better than 99% of the aftermarket rims I've seen. The only downside I see to them is that they're 18", but they look fabulous on a Max. You can check on freshalloy and automotive forums too, people are constantly upgrading to 19" and 20". What color is your Max?

Yeah, I've been wanting those rims too. They look hot! Seems like all the Ebay auctions for them go sky high though.

Ive looked at alot of aftermarket rims, and they just dont have that luxury, sport quality that I want. Hoefully I can find them at a reasonable price one day.

Are there 2 different types of finishes for these wheels? Silver and a polished type?

Nope sorry not selling them at the moment. I believe they are all polished. When you wash them they shine almost as if it were chrome so I'm guessing they are polished

are the g35 rims staggered, or do they just put wider tires on the back for traction???????

Yes they are two different sizes from the front to the back. I think his G35 rims he has on that white max above would look better on mine.

yes the fronts are 18x8's and the backs are 18x8's. Fronts are 30mm offset and the backs are 30mm offset.

So, they are the same exact rim F/R? That's what I thought.

Yeah, they're both 8" wide. The only difference is in the tires, 225 (front) / 245 (rear).

Oh okay...I thought they were actually different size rims...So I could just get a new set and buy the same size tires?? This way I could rotate them, correct?

A lot of G35 sedan owners with the coupe rims do this, actually. They put 245 all around, even 275 in the back. So I think you'll be fine, but be careful with the offset.

Offset is 30mm and it is perfectly fine.
