Has anybody done this rim set up yet?

I have a 2000 Grey Lustre SE and I know the 02-05 G35 Coupe rims look great on my car. I was thinking of going with that set up but I'm curious to see how a 5th or 5.5 gen would look with the rims from an Infiniti M35/45 Sport or from a 06 350Z Stock or Rays Track rims. Links to the rims I'm talking about are below. If someone could photshop it I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

For the current going rate of those rims, it'd be a foolish purchase.

I've got a buddy that might sell the Z ones for me for cheap and I've been visiting other boards and seen people selling the stock rims for afforadable prices. I've seen the Stock 06 Z ones go for $900 with tires on my350Z.com. I was just curious to see how they would look like.

I've been eyeing those m45 sport rims for quite some time..

I think they would look very decent on a 5th gen..

Same Infiniti car, but with a Nissan badge and a right hand drive. Acutally this one is called the Nissan Fuga in Japan/Europe. M35/45 in US & Canada. Same rims too. I like those rims, but like another person said not for the price they are selling for.

Here's the track wheels photoshoped on my Maxima. It looks good but if I'm going to spend that much I'd rather get a set of Volk Racing wheels.



Forgot to mention that the stock/touring wheels are staggered, front 18x8 30mm offset, rear 18x8.5 33mm offset. I like these better but I'm not too wild about running staggered.
