Hypothetically Speaking...

Most of you are pretty familiar with my car...What would you think about this wheel???



It is a hyper silver finish, and is a stock wheel for the 07 G35 sedan...17x7.5

Does anybody Photoshop?

Unfortunately, I don't. What do you think of it though?

I like em but cant really tell untill you see them under it?

With a 45-series tire, these wheels would look great on your car!

Thanks Gene...

There is a set in Arizona for $575...

My calipers are black though...LOL

Pass. You can find a set of G35 18's for cheaper.

Repaint your calipers.

True on the 18"s...I like this design though, and I am not too sure about the smaller tire 18"s would require and the resulting ride quality. My car is still not that bad even with the lowering...

Oh I already know all about ride quality. I'm running on a 245/40s. Feels like I can feel every single pebble on the road. But it should be that bad with a 45-series tire. And it would fill in the wheel well a lot better then a 17" rim.

225/50/17...same as my current tire/wheel combo. Rides pretty decent overall.

Besides, it is not a wheel everyone else is running either...

amen to the ride quality---mine are 245 35 20 and it sucks---driving to seatlle on the 5 i feel like i am going to fly off of the highway--it is actually scarry. i am looking into dropping to 18's on a 40 profile.

i like the wheel but i like the gram lite 18's off the 07 coupe better. but dont get those cause i might---but for real that photo shop looks good. i would rock it.

The car is about 1/2" lower in the front now too, and maybe another 1/4" in the rear. That is a pic from last August...

This low?

I like the design, and that's coming from a biased person since I have g35 18s

Well, take the 'hypothetical' out of the title. The wheels are on hold until someone I know and trust that lives in the area where they are can go and check them out for me. If all is well, I will end up receiving them soon...

Who knew it would be so difficult to find pictures of these rims.

The reason why this image is so small is because I had to enlarge the rims (from it's original picture) by 250% which left them distorted. To give it a better representation on the car it had to be sized down a little bit.

Thanks again Gene...Looks great.

Hope it all works out Bill, the g35 rims are taking over our forums haha, quick someone else buy a set too!

Can I be next!!! I do really like them though GO FOR IT BILL

Well, I finally broke the news of the new wheels to the wife. Extenuating circumstances made it difficult to try and explain why I had not told her prior to this. Thankfully, I spilled the beans while there were no sharp objects around. This wasone of those cases of asking for forgiveness rather than permission...

LOL glad that worked out for you

I have the wheels in my possession now. I checked the offset and they are stamped as 45mm, so perfect fit for the Altima.

Hopefully, mounted with new tires tomorrow.
