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!
