did you sell your oringinal rims to offset the price of the G35 ones?

 

They look alright, they would look better on a blue or a silver car..Black rims or hyper black ones tend to go better with black..Either way they're nice..

 

Wow! Those wheels look amazing on your car! VERY NICE!

Now if you lowered it more.... WOW.

 

I'm not "anti Falken." Just "anti" weak side walled tires altogether. Keep the soft sidewalls on the drag strips, not on the streets.

I understand, you got the fever. I can't blame you for that. I am still shopping for summer tires myself and can't decide whether to stick to 225 or go off spec up to 235. Man I wish Nissan had stuck to a more common tire/rim size (get all the toys you want now before you get that "money pit" house of your dreams). For now, I got the M3s on 16" steelies and I like them (we'll be getting some snow tomorrow too). So far, I recommed them, but they are a bit noisy when the roads are damp/wet.

 

damn bro. you need to wash those muggs and lower that biatch

irish,
wheels look sweet. welcome to the 18+hids club

 

looks nice, now timefor a 5.5gen grill

 

those rims would look amazing on any color car. i don't think black rims look good at all on any car though because they look like the car is missing the hubcaps if you're not looking too closely. josh made a fine choice. what i want to know is how easily do the center caps come off and get put back on?

 

He's keeping em for winter use... I think...

 

question, will these rims or the 350z rims allow for a BBK to fit?

 

your're right. i need to read the posts more carefuly.

 

sorry, I must have missed your earlier post! look nice!

Maybe if you're 18.....I'm not trying to look like a tuner, keeping it low-key...black rims scream "pull me over" imho but each to his own!

ugh...my least favorite part of the 5.5gen....I'll stick with my black-painted OEM grill I think.....again, though, personal opinion!

it's almost impossible to get them off with the wheel on the car...you have to get to the backside and unhook the spring clip-thingy that holds them on...if you tried to pry them off from the outside, you'd mess them up...

right you are, Joel.

There is TONS of clearance now for the brakes....I have no doubt that most BBKs would fit...but can't tell you for sure...

I already have a money pit house....not the one of my dreams, that's for sure...I made a deal with my wife that once I put the HIDs and rims on I would work on the house for the rest of the year instead of the car....

btw, if you're putting them on your OEM 17's...definitelyl go with the 225's....the 235 sidewall is too angled to provide good support (i've had both, and it's night and day difference)....

so I'll see you guys next January j/k, but no more big mods for a long while....gonna have to stick to the cheap home depot mods for a while.

 

ouch...your wife got the better part of that deal!



We'll miss ya irish....

...keep 'em coming....

 

Nice wheels.

 

how come the org doesn't have a whip smiley? hehe only kidding josh i know how it is...

 

Have you tried them with people sittine in the rear to see if they rub?

 

1. They won't rub with people in the back.
2. The front will rub when wheels are turned to full left or right lock.
3. KEEP THE DUSTCAPS ON! Once you pull them off you will see the delicate components the caps cover. A little hammering and all will be fine.
4. Cleaning them is much easier than the stock SE wheels.
5. Welcome to the club

 

sorry for the OT post, but i just have to say that lumbee, your car looks great!! i love that color, and of course the G35C's
i have a question though...how are those wheels easier to clean than the stock SE's wheels?? they have more spokes and sharper angles, so i would think it would be harder to clean..

 

those are sweet rims lumbee. you outta get tints too.

 

Spokes on the G35C's are much thinner than the SE's. I can use my car wash mit to wrap my fingers around the spoke. It is also much easier to reach past the spokes on the G35C's to clean the rest of the wheel.

That is NC legal 35%. Llumar Platinum Plus - looks dark and shiny at some angles and non-existent at others

 

on a side note, Lumbee's gorgeous ride was the inspiration for me to get the G35 rims....remember, imitation is a form of flattery!

 

his car also resides as my desktop wallpaper.

 

this is my desktop (cuz its glacier pearl and its excatly how i want mine to turn out) :::



i found it on vqpower.com and have no clue who's car it is, but i like it a lot

 

very nice!

how much did you pay for them if you dont mind me asking

and from wher?

 

read post #10 in this thread....

 

hl0904...what centercap are you using for the G35 sedan rims and will the BBK kit work without spacers.

 

Wow, Irish and Lumbee, that looks awesome! Lumbee, you car is also my wallpaper now. hehe
Last year, I was going to get those rims myself actually, but I couldn't find any that were in my price range. I searched the G35 forums and eBay. Oh well, I'm quite happy with my EVO5's.

 

eveyone's using Lumbee's whip as their wallpaper, nobody's using mine j/k Guess I need some more stylin' pics and a pretty blue paint job

maxfive-0, not sure who you were asking, but the center caps I'm using are from some '00 GXE/GLE maxima rims (the ones that look like hubcaps), and are a perfect fit.....didn't wanna keep using the infiinity centercaps.....the GXE/GLE centercaps are all-chrome (but as you can see I painted them to my own taste, didn't want the chrome)...

 

josh if you can upload a pic that wont get blurred if stretched out to a wallpaper size i'd gladly use it

 

haha....seems like every time i actually wash the car, it rains and I can't take some nice clean pics....will take many pics at our upcoming track meet here in the mid-atlantic, where everyone will be "detailed to the nines"..

but Lumbee's car is prettier than mine, even when mine is clean! I love black, but I love that blue too!

 

ANyone have a pic of these on a sterling mist 5th gen?

 

Beautiful....

 

Definately looks good

 

I must say I didn't like the first couple pics of those rims on the max. But when I saw the last one from the back, it's pretty tight. I guess it's the rounding in of the spokes that I didn't feel...When looking at them from the side they really look good. IMO I think it's because the max doesn't have the same light-body build as the g35...

 

funny, I really DON'T like the way they look on the G35....since they sit so far in because of the beefy fenders.....I really prefer how they look on a max to how they look on the G.

on a side note, I'll have pics up next week of my car on the 04 G-coupe 17x8/7.5's, which I will be using for auto-x next weekend. My SE rims are sold since they don't fit over my 6th gen front brakes
