I'm right around 31k...2008 G37s Coupe. Purchased a year ago with 26k...not bad for putting 2k miles on it just on the way home..so I put on about 3k this summer, most of it was on our trip to Chicago and back for Wekfest.

I'm sure Mike will win the miles battle...or Janik if you guys are looking at seeing who drives their car the most.

 

If you like the stock wheels, then find some 17s and put winter tires on those. I wonder if there are any 16" wheels that fit on Gs? I know they won't fit on Gs with the upgraded calipers.

I do have a set of 16" wheels from a 96 Eclipse GSX. I know the bolt pattern and offset would work, but I have no idea if they will clear your calipers. I'd sell them for cheap.

But bottom line, get some snow tires. Its just not your acceleration that improves, but the braking is way better in the snow. That helps RWD and AWD cars. I'll never drive a car though winter without snow tires.

I like these wheels but I really like the 5 spoke 350 wheels too. It wouldn't really matter to me what the summer wheels end up being.

I don't think 16's would fit. Maybe on a 03/04 but I think the brakes got bigger on the 05's?

I found a couple options I just have no way of going to look at them/buy them at the moment. As they are all in the cities.

 

I believe larger brakes only came on 03s... Correct me if I'm wrong here guys....

 

I drive an 07 x with currently about 51k on it. Bought it with just over 32k on Jan 7. So in under 11 months, I've put over 19k on it. Lance, I think I might win most miles award. I average over 1700/month.

 

Taking a break from rim shopping for a while. I am thinking about a Karuma Z front, Impul sides, charge speed rear. not sure if I want to do a molded trunk spoiler.

 

They had the Brembo's on the 2003 6mt and sport models but I believe they did make the stock brakes larger after discontinuing the Brembo's (compared to the stock non-brembo 03-04 brakes)

 

Love that set up, check out the strafe speed trunk too. U would have one bad a$$ g!!! I eventually want all that as well in poly

 

^^ Well that link isn't working here on my work computer

 

I know the set up has been done before but there is a reason. IMO its the cleanest best looking set up for the G. and a set of used volks and a drop.... ugh, i need to get home already

 

Nismo front+Impul sides or AIT front+INGs sides? - G35Driver

scroll down to the white coupe. exactly what I want right there

 

Holy low miles.
I drive my car a lot, and she will be in the snow this year, so idk. I am anticipating 50k before Florida easy.
On coupes, yes, you could get larger Brembo brakes. On the sedans, 03-04 had the much smaller calipers. in 05, on the RWD models, they upgraded the brakes so the calipers are a good bit larger. Better stopping performance as well.



I am starting to think, **** the exhaust. Not sure I want to spend a grand on that when I could spend a grand on some new summer wheels instead.... maybe a set of Vossens... The Tanabes aren't sold yet. Maybe I'll just keep them in my garage and see about doing HFCs instead.

 

Heh, my 2011 has about 5,000 miles or so Keep in mind this was pretty much from July to October..... Hopefully I can minimize driving it until Florida, but I KNOW it won't work out like I plan. At least I can stick with my Accord for most of the trips to the cities this year so that will be huge! My 3rd trip up in the last week yesterday lol

 

If i decide to come home for the weekend, it is a 500 mile round trip trek lol

 

Yea it's about 200 miles for me each time I come up and drive home. That's counting to somewhere like Bloomington ish
