Hey guys,

So I did a couple new mods to my M since the last time I posted pics/went to a meet. I plan on taking my wheels off tomorrow so I decided to take a couple of pics before the weather gets really, really crappy over here in NYC.
Enjoy the pics.

Mod List:
2006 Infiniti M45 Sport
-Crimson Roulette Pearl on graphite
-stock aero kit
-22x8.5 Zenetti Spartan colormatched/chrome lip(wrapped in 245/30/22 Hankook Ventus v4 tires)
-DVD/NAV hack
-15'' ceiling monitor in backseat
-2 DVD players
-3000k HID fogs
-blacked out headlights (took out amber strip)
-blacked/cleared out taillights (painted black, left clear portion of lights)
-white blinkers














As for the drop, I have had JDM springs in my garage for 5 months but I'm too scared to put them on given the fact I drive to Manhattan every single day. I feel like my teeth would start falling out everytime I hit a pothole. Anyway, at least there isn't as much wheel gap with this car as in a 2nd gen TL/CL. Believe me, I had one with rims and no drop, I know, lol.

Feel free to comment - whatever your thoughts may be. Thanks guys.

Crazy Matt..I never realized you did the wheels..Looks good bro...Yeah it dont look as bad as the wheel gap in the on the TL

 

Sorry man, totally not feeling the wheels at all. MAYBE if they were painted black...

 

Wow, beautiful car, but those wheels have to go.

 

Jesal, they were black. I was getting bored. Funny though, every single person that has commented to me has said, ''these look a lot better than when they were black.''

 

looks good...fullface wheels look good on that car

 

I like the car, but it looks like you're rolling on fans.

 

I love the factory sport wheels, I would have left it alone... as long as your happy

 

Too much with the wheels. Wouldn't look bad if there were less spokes/surface area with paint on them.

 

Dosent matter what color those wheels are. The design is horrible.

Everything else looks great though

 

meh...
For choice of car
For choice of color
For choice of wheels, no matter what color they are or were

 

i think it looks

kiiiiingdom coooome, yoooou reeeeady

 

I prefer the stock M45 wheels, but to each his own.

 

gangsta shit.....wheels could be different but nice ride

 

Not feelin the wheels, although the rest of the car is hot. Maybe color match the spokes of the factory 19s or paint the spokes black?

 

nice car, but like everyone else said, the wheels gotta go.

 

nice car, but not a fan of the wheels style or color.

 

thats gangsta

 

nice pix

 

Werd. But what counts is that you like it.

 

Wheels =

Otherwise, nice ride!

 

The car , the wheels

 

That's the problem

 

The car is nice but you ruined the car with those wheels. Sorry man but they are just ugly.

 

Must have been everyone BUT ACURAZINE or people with any kind of taste.

 

Looks sick, wheels included! I like them better red than black. F the haters.. your car is very unique and still clean. The only thing i would suggest is try to get a clear coat over your tail light smoke.. it would look better if it was glossy

 

If the wheels were 5 spoke, then it might look ok, but i would go back to black. other than that, the car looks hot as hell.

 

 

I like it. Very unique and just flat out bad ass.

 

needs a drop

 

siiick!

 

They would look better in black

 

 

ddamn, been a while since i saw a nice good 'ol fashioned ownage thread @ AZ...

 

the funny thing is, I've been on this board for about 4 years and the same old people make the same negative remarks about people's stuff because they like to hear themselves talk and they get pleasure out of denouncing others. Then again, some people on this board come to the meets and compliment my car, so I don't know if they just want to be nice in person or they don't want to be caught complimenting someone on this board (god forbid they do that - haters).

And I wouldn't say I got ''owned'', because the compliments I get in person are enough. Much like how everyone posts their car on here, I'm proud of it and I work very hard to keep it that way so I decided to post it up. Also, certain people actually said they liked my wheels - those are people that have minds to think outside the box and don't only say the same things over and over about wheels on this board:

As I present, the Acurazine (close-minded) wheel guidelines:
1) Make sure they aren't chrome - and if they are, make sure the car costs more than $125,000. You can't have a $60,000 car with chrome wheels on it - that's just ghetto!!!
2) Make sure you buy COOL racing, tuner wheels such as Enkei. And if you have an Acura, you need to buy Ronjons and that's it!! God help you if you buy anything else!!! (no disrespect to Ron - I've met him in person and he knows I respect him)
3) Gunmetal or black wheels look hot on anything. You could have a car that's 15 different colors and the hood is primer, but if you have a set of 18'' gunmetal wheels you're the man!
4) Make sure the wheel weighs less than 15 pounds so it could bend in 14 minutes after you hit a coin in the street.
5) The wheel must be less than 22 inches, even if you drive a monster truck or a Hummer. In fact, anything over 19's is ghetto!!! (then why would these wheel companies keep making bigger wheels, is what I ask)
AND, presenting the newest guideline:
6) Your car isn't your wardrobe. Why should you match a set of wheels to the car's exterior color, even if that appears to be the ''in'' way for wheels to be displayed given the popularity of the look at car shows and other events?


Alright, glad we got that over with.

 

Listen, as long as you love your ride and are proud of the work you've put into it, who cares what anyone else thinks. Just enjoy it. However, post pics online to the world, and you will get people who do and don't like it. Personally, it's not my style, but I don't see how that should bother you. It's just a matter of taste.

 

Wow i think those are the most discustion wheels i have ever seen

 

 

I think most people aren't digging the wheels themselves, not the fact you matched them to factory colour.

 

I do enjoy the car very much other then the wheels though. TV's arent my thing but in that car i guess its the way to go. My only question is, how does a 20 year old afford a M45?? Awesome car none the less
