They'd look even better if they were flush.

Looks time consuming to clean. Was it in the thousands or hundreds?

Yeah. Thinking of getting some spacers. 10 or 15mm maybe. Front is allright. Rears look real tucked.

It was just couple hundred with bald tires off of Craigslist. Kid didn't know the value of those
I think I will sport 'em for few months and move on to 19s.... Possibly Rays

This. They are OEM 18" wheels, they don't need to be flush and I'm pretty sure they at least have better specs than the 6th gen SE wheels. It looks very OEM, which isn't a bad thing.

Good find. I'm guilty of that too. I sold my stock 18's with no curb rash of damages for $250, someone came in 3hrs and got it. It hurt to see that he bought them and put them back up for sale for $650 . So now I look for the cheap rims, repair them if possible and sell them back and make a huge profit. Sold so many rims already and still going strong.

Don't worry, eventually he'll find out original G37 wheels go for about $1500-2000 rims alone.

How is it possible to find the latest rims from infiniti for less that the older version I sold my G35 with tires for $750 and the newer ones are way more. Obviously these posters didn't do their homework. If the rims are in horrible condition then I understand the owner wants to get it off their hands but in perfect condition seeing that they just came out should be well over $1200. I can only imagine how much they are in the stealership

19" tires are only expensive if you walk into a tire store and act like a tard.

I got my old Nitto NT-555 225/35/19 for $125/each

Buy online and they are much cheaper. Tire chains just have a HUGE markup

But remember those Rays in "horrible" condition are Forged rims.

I have been lowered last few months. That front mudflap is really close to the ground, like an inch off the ground. Scraping speedbumps.
I know some of you have their max slammed, Did you simply remove the mudflaps? Or like I was thinking of doing, trimming them a little.

I don't like them. They look small on the maxima too. The original max wheels look better.

I don't think they are saying flush but obviously not the right offset for 6th gen.

Better specs than OEM? NAHHHH, oem offset is better than that.

Removed the wheels to adjust my coilover height.
6th gen oem offset is 40 and 18x7.5 while those g37 wheels are staggered. front 18x7.5 rears 18x8.5 front offset is 45 and rear is 50

Mine probably got caught on something and cracked them, way before I even had coilovers. Just take them off.

I didn't think the offsets were higher than the 6th gens, but the fronts looks fine, rears sit out +3mm. OEM 6th gen isn't any better, maybe only looking at offsets but fitment is identical.

Honestly, the OEM looks better...they engineered it that way and the infiniti's dont look good on this car.
