I appreciate the comments. What are you waiting for.. Time for change. Change is always good for the soul..

You can still rock the polished ones for awhile, then send them off to get dipped.

The 25mm spacer would have been perfect flushed to the fender...
I use them on my sc.. Might be. A little much for the rear mounted with a 275 though..

Either way I see you already bit the bullet and the car looks great

Thank you man. Now just trying to keep them polished and clean. I think I have like 21 coats of polish on them now and the car has been moved twice. LOL

Thanks man. I appreciate all the positive feedback on these wheels. All the guys here at the fire station don't like them. They say too plain and too bland. No style. They like the G35's way better.

I have these for sale if anyone wants them with tires. First $650 gets them. I had someone back out local that wanted them.

Well this fireman likes 'em! I'll have to dig back to what those other wheels look like.

Not a medic, but an EMT-B. Been that for about five years now, but a firefighter for over 21 years on the military side of the house. My civilian for almost 12 years.

All I can say is thanks man... I shined them up again today after the work was done at work. They are growing on me..

I just hope I don't regret trying to sell these G35's.

For those who wants these rim's/tires they are posted in the classifieds, and the price has been reduced.

Curious to know how the car rides now on 17's vs the 19's. I'm sure it's better but how much better?

The ride overall was a improvement. It feels almost like stock until I hit a dip in the road, then you can tell the car is lowered, but the driveability of the new tire size and rim, is far superior than the 19's. Its not saying that 19's were all that bad, I was more cautious in how and where I drove down the much rougher roads here in Alabama. Alot people said the car road good with them, others said, it road like a tank. It all in the preferance of each individual in how a car rides and feels.

Keep in mind, I have replaced all the stuts, strut mounts, sway bar bushings (f and r), rack and pinion bushings, and ALL od the control arm bushings as well.

I took this one yesterday after I give the springs a chance to settle and the car driven like 40 miles. I also painted the front lip with SEM high gloss black and then used their high gloss clear to give it a bright shine. it looks great when the sun hits it.
