A-specs....keepin it original!

So i had these G35 wheels on for a while...they looked nice but it didnt feel right rollin on another car's stocks...here's how they looked



I also got a little tired of the custom wheel look...i have gone through so many rims....so for now this is as stock as i will keep it. A-specs with Pirelli P zeros

Wow i liked the G35 wheels... but the A-Spec's give them a run for thier money! If you could get the G35 wheels in the same color as the A-Spec it would have been sick!

Those are by far my favorite OEM wheels..... But they're too expensive brand new and it's hard to come by a clean used set.... Maybe one day....

BTW OP, you're car is clean. Nice job.

Payayon, I have merged your two threads together for you. I liked the G wheels, but I think the Aspecs look better!
