Yea those are nice as well. I'm definitely NOT a big fan of 5 spoke wheels, I do like these however...

Yes and no.

Yes, because when you step back and take in the entire engine bay, it adds an incredibly unique and interesting element to the overall picture. Like I said, there's almost something steam-punk about it... struggling with the right metaphor. In any event, it looks cool, and balanced and something that makes an awesome first impression. And particularly because of the braiding and the end-clamp dress-up pieces. I had a bunch of those in my last car, and I loved the look, even knowing it's purely decorative.

No, because I hate the welds. Some people dig them, but I'm not one of them. The edge welding on the can I could deal with, but the way the four pipes and the coolant cap are welded in does not look appealing to me. Also, those pipes look like you could polish them? WTF, Chris, polish them.

And hell no, because cost.

(sigh)

You could try these below, they have the right specs for the sedan.

Thanks, but to be honest, I'm not really a fan of those. :/ The pattern looks a little weird...

I definitely like them Brad...still not sure I'm 100% sold on the pattern though. I really want that pattern like one of these two.

If you don't have a BBK on that car, these particular wheels are going to draw attention to that situation, and not in a good way.

By the time these wheels go on, I will be rocking Akebono's at a minimum.

Scroll up...perhaps back a page. The details were given already. You can have your very own just like it for $700 plus $150 if you want braided hoses.

Ha, yeah...I realized after catching up 3 pages that my inquiry was superfluous. That's a bit steep for where I'm at with my car currently. I have somewhat of a moratorium on mods right now because I'm not sure what I will be doing with my car in the next year.

'16 Q50/60S looks interesting. Or I may just keep the G37 as my DD and pick up a '14 GT-R.

By the way, welcome to the forum, pgG37! Hopefully the dealer will be able to fix the dent easily before installing the chin spoiler. +1 on the midnight grill.

I can understand that. I went back and forth with the cost but decided it was the direction I wanted to go. I like the welds only because I know what went into them, goodness knows I can't weld like that.

Sure I could polish them. But right now I'm in Prague drinking good beer, eating good food and enjoying the.... Sights. Then to Germany and Amsterdam until the 7th. Plenty of time to polish them when I get home while I'm working on the next batch of mods.

On the surface, your statements seem contradictory.
That mod is like a half car payment for a gt-r
