Just got my Infiniti M45 Wheels today

I got the tire shop where i purchased these to change the center cap from the infiniti logo to a plain chrome cap. The wheels look great, cant wait to put them on my maxima.

A lot I'm sure. Hey man, get rid of those crappy generic caps and put Nissan caps on 'em. Or heck, IMHO even the infiniti caps would look better than those. Sharp wheels though, I considered them quite a bit myself. Lets get some pics when you get those bad boys put on!

you always take the 30min and take off the nissan badges off our OEM center caps and shave off the back plastic/double sided tape portions and redouble side tape it on to the plain center caps.

never hurts to try? nice rims cant wait to see chrome m45s on a 6th. post pics once you mount em

i paid $999 for just the rims (no tires). I know some of you will say thats a lot, but that was the best price i could find for them, and they were chromed too (which i really wanted).

heh I dont know about rolling with infiniti logos on my nissan car... Back in high school i remember a guy bought a new camry and put lexus chrome wheels on it with the lexus logo. The rims looked nice, but me and my friends always noticed the L logo.

jingiko: I wish i had the stock rims!! i bought my max with some rims already on them.. I am going to try to find the nissan chrome center caps on ebay hopefully.

mm i wonder if there is any way i can get just the nissan emblem off of a center cap... That way I can affix them to the existing center caps. what do u guys think?

thats exactly what i was suggesting. take em off sand down the excess plastic piece that sticks into thos center caps and use an xato knife to cut off excess doublesided tape and place em on the chrome.

I assume he is just interested to know how heavy they are and what they will weigh with tires installed

no way, they are at the absolute most 30 lbs, if not a bit lighter than that.

I read a thread in the altima forums from a member that put them on and he said they were heavy as well. But still a nice wheel.

LOL man I know these wheels will look great. They were honestly my first choice to upgrade from stock but 2 things kept me from doing it.

1: Price, good lord these things are EXPENSIVE
2: They are 19" and I really did not want the added expense of 19" tires. I know it's trivial to some but they are quite a bit more expensive so ultimately I settled on the 35th Anniversary 350Z wheels and extremely happy.

BUT I STILL WANT TO SEE PICS!!!

LMAO! That's actually a decent photochop but I don't think we'll get the FULL effect until we really see 'em on. Nice work though bra.

Joe. Looks nice but those M45 wheels aren't very bbk friendly. 50mm offset is the killer along with the straight spokes
