Cost-wise those OEM Bridgestones aren't cheap, just go to tirerack.com and check the pricing. As far as performance & longevity there are better choices, with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports about as good as it gets. If you want a decent summer tire but only expect 20k miles those Bridgestones will fit the bill, but I wouldn't go much over $1500, and I would have my OEM TPMS sensors ready for him to install when you get it all together.

If you are keeping your current wheels w/ TPMS intact for another set, there are aftermarket vendors that sell compatible sensors for less than oem or might find some used ones on the site, just be sure they are compatible w/ your year G.

 

I looked at my car last night. I see what you mean in terms of Malbec black paint and gloss black wheels. It doesn't seem like it would be best combo. I'm gonna try and find some pics to see how it looks.

 

Here's a very sharp Q50 Red Sport 400 with hyper grey wheels next to my Malbec black G37S. Do you guys think hyper grey 19" wheels like these would go better with Malbec Black than Gloss Black 19s?

 

Gunmetal which is very similar looks nice on Malbec, that would be a good choice IMO.

 

I found a set of chrome ones i wanted to pick up as a second set. Did the chrome ones only come on the verts ? 19x9 ? the guy is asking $650 for just the rims

 

Not 100% sure, but check the offsets, they'll be stamped inside the wheel (usually on the spoke area) the vert wheels have an offset like a +30 IIRC. Regular coupe offsets are +43to+45

 

I personally have grown to hate black wheels as a whole. Reason: Every "cheap" mod is to spray paint or Plasti-dip your wheels black. The Gunmetal will darken the overall look of the car but the small contrast will keep it sporty and classy!

 

This x1000000

 

Some idiot hit me last week on my drivers side so the rims are on hold now indefinitely. Air bags deployed and everything. 2012 G37S with 60k miles. Insurance will have to decide whether it will be totaled out or repaired...

Here are some pics of the damaged car. I wonder if it will be totaled. I have an attorney and all. Some have told me that once the air bags deploy, car is usually totaled.

 

that looks pretty bad. i wonder

 

Yeah it sucks. My first Infiniti. Had it since July and really loved the car and the color. Way roomier in my opinion than the 2016 Mercedes c-class I'm driving temporarily. The Kelley blue book value seems be like $12,000-$14,000 so we'll see what insurance says. I would consider leasing a 2016 or 2017 q50 red sport 400 if G37S can't be repaired and then get black rims on that... I wish the red sport had quad exhaust smh. Ok I know I'm way off thread topic... lol!

 

ptaylor, sorry to see that, everyone ok??

 

Thanks for asking. I took the worst of it but will be fine.

 

Have some new hardware for my coupe wheels

Now just need to find the time (and a torque wrench) to install it

 

Totaled for sure. Airbags alone are almost $10k, the seat needs to be replaced, headliner replaced. And that's all before the actual body and suspension damage.

Here in MD if the value exceeds 75% of the current vehicle value its totaled. Just look up the law for your state and you'll be able to easily tell.

I had a similar hit last year and i was shocked when i saw the sheet showing how much airbags, seats and headliner costs.
