Default g35 7-spoke oem wheels?

Anyone got their 1gs on some g35 7-spoke wheels? Shoot me some pictures Or what do you guys think about them?


I think I'm going to get them refinished into a different color though.

I'd leave them alone since they go good with the color of your car.

I'm going for the clean stock oem look. But, just lowered. and the stock wheels look too small to even be considered oem.

Why don't you put them on your car? It's pretty easy..

1) get a breaker/torque bar or a tire iron and loosen the lug nuts*optional*
2) jack the car up at it's "jack point"
3) use the breaker/torque bar or a tire iron to remove the lug nuts all the way
4) remove old rim/tire
5) place new rim/tire
6) tighten lug nuts with the breaker/torque bar or tire iron
7) lower car back to the ground
8) re-tighten lug nuts with the breaker/torque bar or tire iron
9) check tire pressure*optional*
10) check lug nuts after a few miles of driving*optional*

Shouldn't take any longer then 20 minutes to R&R.

because I think black rims on my gold is nastyy I'm going to probably paint them dark gunmetal before anything. But I need to know the exact measurements of our hubs first so I can buy hub centric rings..

yea, I kind of like them. I didn't want to wait to get some real nice wheels because if I did, then I'd want something that will cost me too much. Can't afford 2k+ in wheels or wait and save for it at the moment if you know what I mean. So these will be my temp wheels, I bought them because they were cheap and had tires anyways haha. BTW are those pics of your car lowered or is it stock height? And what size spacers do you think I can get for these wheels without having to do a fender roll (if it's even needed)?

Oh yea did those have oem lugs on them when you rode them? Because, I've been reading around and many people were saying that they had problems with the oem lugs giving the wheels' lug nut holes too much room or something like that.

They're saying use tuner lug nuts.
