its weird...your wheel gap looks pretty large considering your on s-techs. Dont get me wrong your car still sits like its lowered, I just remember the s-techs giving a larger drop than that. Maybe cause your on 18s where as many of the other people on this forum have 19's?
What do you think?

however, i think ima still stick with 19's, jsut cuz i think it fits the car, but urs look great!

BTW, defcon, as noted in the other thread, our car has a center bore of 64.1mm, Infiniti G35 has a center bore of 66.1 mm. It's upto you if you wish to buy hubcentric rings for this rim as you wil be buying another set of 19" later. Nice job none the less

Im not gonna lie I probably love wheels more than defcon does..I just dont have the money to act on it. I look at wheels online everyday and Im gonna take time off school to work full time in the summer because I want 20's with step lip so bad ahaha. dont hate me
Oh, and dont paint the rims...silver looks good just the way it is and I bet it will look much cleaner than having them gun metal...

now i have to find some time to get rid of the curb rashes/scratches and do some painting

yup. honestly i really had no knowledge about offsets until i put my old rims on and just saw that it was sunken in. i did some research on how offsets worked and came to the conclusion of using +30. another member here had +32 which gave me some confidence to run +30.
#21
thats meee!! I just put my wheels back on for the summer, My car is so effin sexy again, I love it New paint job, "new" rims, Lowered yet again. Wed I'm putting the camber arms, and the rear rotors and thursday i'm getting the alignment and it will be done! yussssss

Not too bad but those rims are so played out. Theyve been whored out by every Nissan and Infiniti possible.
Your old set up was better
I think the 2G needs 20's to fill out the wheel wells nicely

i like the five spokes a lot. unfortunately the other 2 five spokes rims are bent badly. i need to find a rim repair shop that can straighten them out.

if those dont fit, im just going to get the infiniti caps and sand off the logo
also post pics of your car with the rims, im curious to see it. what do you think of the offset? better than stock huh?
#31
i dont think the infiniti emblem will just sand off. its pressed into the cap, so sanding the cap down will lead to holes in the cap.
no official pics yet. I in the process of refinishing them and painting them silver.
Winter setup test-fit (phone pics), got these for 250 w/ good tires:
the fit is good, clears brembos and sits pretty flush. equal to running a 15mm spacer with the stock acura rims.

damn good deal. i paid $350 for wheels only. also 2 of the rims have curb rashes. theyre good looking rims especially when you see them in person. cant beat the price for 18's
#33
thoughts on the color? too bright for my ssm? should i go darker? I didnt put the clear coat on yet so it wouldnt be a big deal to switch to a gunmetal color. I also only painted 2 rims so far.[/QUOTE]
