Thinking about buying a G37s...

Going to test drive this 2008 G37s today after work: Used 2008 Infiniti G37 Sport 6MT For Sale | Colma CA | Stock: S8M112476 | San Francisco Bay AreaUsed 2008 Infiniti G37 Sport 6MT For Sale | Colma CA | Stock: S8M112476 | San Francisco Bay Area

I have a 04 Audi A4 and it's starting to give me some trouble, so I want to ditch the headache and get something newer.

A couple questions since I'm new here...

1. This car has 20s on it. I live in SF and the city roads are really rough. Any of you have good/bad experiences with this big of a wheel? I have 19s on my Audi and blew out a tire a few months ago on a pot hole.

2. Any thing in particular I should be sure to look at when checking out the car today?

3. Anything else you all have to share, I appreciate it!

I appreciate the help in advance. I'll let you guys know if I pull the trigger, thanks!

I'd look at typical things like the service history. I believe there is a big maintenance scheduled service around the corner. I believe its around the 60k mark. My local infiniti dealership charges around $1k for the service.

I'd also check to see if the TPMS sensors are installed on those aftermarket wheels.

I've owned my car for a little over a year now and I havent faced anything major just yet.

Overall the car is pretty solid. Seems like a reasonable price.

I think 19's ride a bit rough, so 20's, I could only imagine are even rougher. But, maybe looks trump ride. Not for me though.

Test drove the car yesterday. The ride was horrible. Really really loud every time I decelerated. I'll check out another tomorrow with a stock set up. Thanks!
