New wheels.

Wheels are on to check wheel clearance to prepare for the new struts and springs. Looks like no rubbing now but I want to roll the rears. New drop will be 7/8 more lower up front and a 1/8 in the rear.

I like it, very nice touch. Only suggestion is to lowe rit down a bit to cover up some of that hidious wheel gap.

The gap isn't that bad It's a H&R drop. But like I said it's getting lower

I've always loved those wheels. About the only Nissan wheel that I think looks as good/better than the g35 18s.

Nicely done. They look especially badass with the 615s on them

One suggestion: Car looks great, but IMO you should smoke out the side markers (smoked, not clears!)...or at least the front one. The orange just sticks out a big much!

I am thinking of putting the orange back in on the headlights.

Falken Azenis 615s....more often seen on autocross cars than street cars. Great in the dry, but be very careful in any heavy rain, for sure!

I'm gonna guess size is 245/40/18. Am I right?

If you're going to use the OEM corners, I think this is a good idea ^^^

Yeah I need to find a better grill mesh. A think grill material and that I can powdercoat black instead if painted. Plus I might have to go back to parents house and put my CF hood back on.

Not a bad idea. Why you take your CF off in the first place?

Where did you get your fogs at? I got the same bumper and debating which fog set up to go with.

Car is the hotness by the way man... although, I would get the rims painted a little darker then what they are. Maybe a gunmetal or go wild with it and paint the Bronze.

The Fogs I have are the PIAA crystal Ion 520 fogs with H3 PIAA Ion plasma bulbs. They are covered with Lamin-x charcoal film. I like the color they are now. I had the gunmetal wheels before.

I got them from a my350z member that had all 4 18 x 8.5's. Yes they are +33 offset.

Good choice. They also look to be a great fit. Did you have to use spacers at all?

Those wheels look so hot. How much did you end up paying for them?
