Finally got the new wheels put on.
Wifey hates them. She really likes the black faced wheels and nothing else will do. Funny, she hated the black wheels until several people said it was hot. I'm hoping the same thing happens. I just like having a change every so often, don't prefer one over the other. I like black and like these too....but it's Wifey's dd so what she likes matters most.
Oh well, so hard to please women. I really tried to find black 19's that had a quality look and feel and could find anything.
So this is it for a while. Here's a few pics. Both cars are dirty, it's a rainy day in the bottom (south florida).

Looks great, what is the size and what kind of springs are on the 06 gs?

Wifey's whee;s are 19's staggered.
Both cars have Tanabe NF210 springs.

I wanted a different look but I may just put the black Ruff's back on if she keeps pitching a fit.

Ice,
I think wifey's car looks good with those wheels. The staggered look with the stance and color is very nice. Wouldn't change them out. Good job

A couple more shots that were taken at the wheel shop. Not the best shots but might as well add them.

Sharp! x2, both look great.

SO being new to this rim world on a GS.. I have to ask

How does one rotate your tires if you have offsets? Im guessing just not as often and you have to take the tires off the rims? or you eat through a front set for every back set?

Also when you cut it down Im also guessing you lose a lot of travel in your shocks for dips etc? I would imagine they bottom out pretty easy and once youve cut it down you just have to be more careful?

Thanks for the input.. Im showing my age

Both look great! Nice choice Regg.

man that is so funny. I thought me and my wife were the only couple cheesy enough to have the exact same car. I think its great and both cars look awesome

this is an old really bad picture of our 2 g35 sedans back in 2003.
sorry about the picture quality

I don't even bother with rotating anymore but if you really care about tire life but still want to get into the wheel game, I would suggest not doing the staggered set-up. I had 35 offset all around on the black car for 2 years and the tires held up really well. With staggered, just keep up the air pressure and you'll get decent tire life but not the maximum per manufacturer spec.

As for shock travel, it's not as bas as you'd think. Especially if you go no higher than 19 in wheels. WIfey puts 4 or 5 people in the car and still drives normally. With 20's you have to be more careful.
