Like my new wheels? (Photochop)

I wanted non-chrome 17" wheels for my I35, so a friend gave me a set of stock IS300 wheels. I have not mounted them yet, but did a photochop to see how they would look. Your thoughts?

Yeah, I had the "WTF LOL" plate in Kentucky for a while... now I've got a plain jane in Florida.

The offset is +50mm. Stock is +45mm. They will be test fitted at the end of the week.

They also will not have the Lexus centercaps (I popped them out).

I mentioned this in the other thread - but have you gotten the hub bore machined larger to fit on the Nissan hub?

The Toyota/Lexus hub bore is smaller than Nissan/Infiniti, so it won't even fit on the hub without being enlarged..

I dont know I was expecting them to look better since they look incredible on the IS300. Dont get me wrong they look good!! Something is like out of place or missing, the car doesnt feel complete, just my opinion .

Like MetaOrbit stated, the hub wont fit. I heard its not worth in the end to have it enlarged to fit.

They'll actually only be 5mm in further than stock. Still sunk in there, but not much more than it already was.
