Fitted

This view of my car absolutely caught my eye so I snapped a pic of it, Kinda hard to believe how two simple elements can come together so well.

Heck, the wheel doesn't even belong on a nissan. No bling, no brand name derived from characters of the Godfather movie.

It's just a nissan and a wheel that has no brand name. Was it a coincidence that the wheels just happen to fit the a35 so well ?

Fitted, all user and no gimmicks.

Car looks great. If I didn't just lose my money in Vegas I'd buy the other set.

Here are some center cap options: my last thread on lame center caps got totally trashed by the usual suspects.

M5 rims. That does look good. NISMO center caps... not so much.

Actually, not at all. There's nothing NISMO about that setup. Find some caps that don't invoke that WTF look. Other than that, they look real good on the 7th gen.

LOL I had to improvise, it was one of few that was slightly curved to match the blank label caps.

Wouldn't mind seeing some actual photos, instead of these fuzzy postage stamps. It does look good, I think, but if you're going to show it off, then actually do it with some good photos.

Those huge wheels make the rotors look tiny, and the calipers become more noticeable. A BBK and blank center caps would look awesome. Not to understate the added value of a BBK, aside from the looks.

Man I would also try other stuff... Something like your own "BB MAXI" silkscreen or something similar that would fit within the cap. Just keep doing your own thing, make it personal for you and your car! Just thinkin.

Ghozt...for the sake of not wasting peoples time.

The center caps were not done to FOOL anyone, in case you havent figured it out yet. It was a improvise to fill in the blank caps. Why do i have to explain this?

A bmw style wheel that just happens to match and fit the a35 perfectly and all one can do is biitsh about the center caps. It makes u look foolish. Why do i have to even explain it?

Please stop wasting peoples time, this is getting so friggin old. If u dont get it, then let it be and stay away from my postings. Simple as that.

I know u look at the pics and secretly admire it ...but u get confused because its beyond what u can understand. U obviously look at every single one of my postings. But there is no need to hate because u waste peoples time having to read your stuff.

Cant believe i have to explain this chet.

Wheels are nice. Stickers are dumb. Photo quality sucks. And you're not a badazz.

LOL!!! You guys are cruel! BB, I think the innovation thing is great as I have been doing this for many years. Any time you can cross-breed some wheels, it takes a car-guy to actually notice. I find it has a better effect when you keep it subtle and don't advertise. Let a true car-guy notice and they'll ask for more info. You like the outcome and that's what matters. Enjoy your roll and let 'em follow
