If your going to spend that much on brakes why not go aftermarket. Might as well go different for that much

Wow, thanks for the pics 2GoRNot2G! 20mm really makes a difference in the overall look of the car!

I have the same exact wheels that you have.

Yeah I was also looking at some aftermarket brakes, do you have any recommendations? I really want some big brakes f/r..

2GoRNot2G the wheels he is referring to are the same style as yours but they are not staggered, I have the same set up.

On a side note, are you lowered in those pics?

Thanks

No, I think you're right. I thought what he said was weird, cuz I've never seen any non S's with anything bigger than 17's!

Those rims are dope! I kinda like them better than the 09 S Sedan RWD wheels. Are those staggered?

2GoRNot2G, Thanks for posting the pictures of the/your car with the 20mm wheel spacer set-up. I just got a 09 G37 sedan with the same wheels(performance wheel and tire pkg, as listed on the sticker as a $500 option) and was looking at doing spacers and maybe even doing a OEM chrome wheel swap with one of the companies that offer that service off the internet.

They were part of the sport package in 08 staggered, however in 09 they came in wheels and tire package (non sport) with the same size tires all around.
