looks bad ***. i woulod have filled in the diples myself. can't wait for pics!

 

Just got back from the tire shop and had the tires mounted Going to take a breather and install them later as I still feel the alcohol in my body

 

OK first a quick review, these tires are OMFG AWESOME!!!! The turn in response is instant and I don't know if it is placebo but I def feel the car has a bigger contact patch with the road and did I mention the grip is nuts?

My factory tires were 215/55/17 which = fat soft sidewall so the ride was always soft and comfy. Surprisingly with 245/40/18 and its reduced sidewall the ride feels the same if not more compliant? I think maybe the old soft fat sidewall were mismatched with Eibach stiffness and now the lower and stiffer profile sidewall is better matched to the springs? I don't know what it is but no complaints of loss of ride comfort here!

And now for some quick pics!

 

Rear fender clearance



Front fender



Match brake rotor hubs with wheel spokes and matched wheel lip to calipers

 

That looks awesome man.
It looks as if your wheels match perfectly your body color / dark headlights.
Are you running any wheel spacer? because it looks like the offset is perfect!
I like it a lot. It makes the entire car look so different, for some reason wheels were always mod no.1 for me.

 

No spacers as the 350Z wheels have perfect offset +30F and +33R for our cars. Last weekend I had my rear right fender rolled too in anticipation of fender rubbing, so far so good!

 

Dayum! Your car is nice and sleek. I love it!

Details on that rear trunk spoiler?

 

Man your car is so sexy now. The rims go perfect with the car. Update your sig pic.

 

looks great!

 

looks good. i'd throw a 15-20mm spacer on the rear.

please tell me this is just dirt on the lip:

[/QUOTE]

 

It's actually rain water + dirt as NJ has been raining whole weekend.

 

yea its been raning since thursday till sat night lol. your car deff stands out now in a good way!

 

look soo good!!so your done modding now or that was just like jay-z retiring?

 

Once I get the G35 sedan muffler and new tips welded on to replace the HKS I will be done done. Was suppose to order my M3 a month ago but now keeping my job is more important than a car driven 5-10 miles a week

(since you are local let me know if you are interested in the HKS)

 

Wait which m3? The new one with the v8? Www man that is a nice car but like you said having a job is much more important. Anyway about the hks, I will look at the youtube videos and see how it sounds. From what I remember it is kind of loud.but either way I'm pretty sure someone from nycmaximas will proly get em. Good luck with the job and hopefully you will get the M soon.

 

Ya the new E92 M3, with the markets looking to be stay like this for at least another 18 months I just might have to keep the I35 since job + money in bank >>>>>>>>>>new car!

 

Very true.. And if you are selling the i35 later on PLs dont forget to let me know about those wheels. LOL dibz!!

 

wow those rims are so clean! great job.

 

Like Ive said before, your car is beautiful man. Unfortunately no one is selling the center caps you want. Ebay it is .

It'll be worth it though, your care to me is perfected, nothing more you should do.

I'm going to force myself to come to an edgewater meet so I can see it .

 

Congratulations on getting it all to come together. It looks good, though I'd be lying if I didn't say I wonder how it would look as all silver...

<---Think I've said it before, I'm a sucker for 1-color wheels, usually don't like multiple finishes, but I think you pulled it off well.

 

final pics are great!!!

I really like the color combo... best part is you DIY!!!!

 

those look S I C K on that car man. Great job. It really offsets the black in your projector lights really well. With the black grill, clear lights all the way around, and the black projectors, that thing is almost as perfect as an i35 can get! Silver on black is my favorite color combo after black/black.
:EDIT:
I just noticed you blacked out the door trim too. Hella nice man. Hella nice.

Great job man!

I too, noticed a HUGE performance increase when I went up to 18's on my i35. It kind of shocked me, but the car looks WAY better on 18's, the ride qaulity doesn't suffer that much, and the performance with the fatter tires is totally awesome.

Once again dude, great job. More pics of that beast would be appreciated by all I'm sure

 

Center caps and a bbk and you will be set
Wheels are ****...

 

The car looks awsome. Great choice with that color.

He has the 6th gen BBK already. 12.6" rotors if im not mistaken.

 

Sweet rims bro.. speaking of meet.. anyone in the New york New jersey Area?:] any meets arranged ide love to go

 

Thanks I will take some new pics when I get back from China. Already have Infiniti center caps on and Muteki titanium colored lugs at home waiting!

 

.. i think i used the same grey to make the dark bezel around my headlight retrofit../ and my dash ... window switch.. hehe. i always liked that color.

 

Infiniti center caps and Muteki SR48 lug nuts in titanium finish.

 

Congradulations!!! Those look great!

 

Those infiniti center caps make me drool......


AWESOME work man. I have to appreciate the attention to detail the most....


Where did you get the infiniti center caps? I'd like to do that same thing with my TSW's....

One again man, great job!

 

Thanks, the caps were off a G35 coupe I believe.

 

looks awsome with the center caps! and i saw the new sig pic too..i was like damn!! great looking car and im looking forward to seeing this at a nycmaxima meet.

 

Those look sick. As Ive said before your I35 is incerdible.

I thinks SE-Rs will look good on my I30 though

 

i would love to get some se-r's too but i think i should put the money in to new car fund.

 

those track wheels look great painted like that but i still have to stay,


Gravis FTMFW got those on my Z I LOVE THEM! best part, not one other z i can find with these on it

 

damn that is a beutiful z u got there buddy. those wheels are sexy too

 

I want to paint my fx wheels black but the rims are chrome. The chrome is chipping but it is very hard to strip the chrome off. Anyone with any solutions?? Thanks!

 

well done. wicked clean, but still pullin off that aggro performance look.

 

Take it to a powder coating shop and let them strip the old finish and redo them in black.

 

wheels look sick
