Nice man, doooooo ittt!!

Yeah, we do a few cruises down there a year, we'll see what the summer has in store this year.

MD guarentees it won't trip it, same w/ Fast Intentions

 

Ok, this is a worry that has crossed my mind. Do you guys think that with the amount of miles I put on, with cruises, driving in rain, highway, etc, that I will beat the crap out of these new rims? I am having slight hesitations about it today for some reason. Don't want to drop 2k on rims then have them get all beat up because I actually daily my car..

I have no experience with aftermarket rims and my coupe 19s never showed signs of wear after 2 years, but they are OEM.

 

Hope FedEx doesn't treat your packages like this tmrw Tevi!!!

Janik I would say you are just fine with em as long as you aren't driving in fields up in Fargo - do they even have paved roads up there?? But if you think about it, most people in the south will use their wheels all year round if they don't have a DD. You would just be using them in the summer, so I would say the biggest thing is just keeping clear of the potholes in the spring time.

 

^ WHS.... also make sure to avoid all gravel roads and always clean them with water (never dry). If you polish them up with just a rag it will put swirls on the chrome/polished portions. I've had 4 sets of chrome rimz in my gangsta days :-)

 

You'll be absolutely fine. Your doing exactly what you need to be going...keeping them away from SALT and SAND. Salt will eat away at the clear coat on the wheels and start eating the metal causing pits or even rust.

THe #1 thing you have to remember is....DO NOT put them on your car TOO EARLY in the spring. You'll see idiots with aftermarket wheels as early as February because they don't know the reasoning behind NOT driving on them in the winter. I would HIGHLY recommend to NOT mount them on yoru car until
#1 - the snow is 100% gone
#2 - wait until there's been atleast 2 good rain falls to clean off the roads
#3 - street sweepers have come out to pick up all the sand/junk on the roads that fly up.

Do this, and NEVER use any "wheel polishers" or "wheel cleaners" on them. I'm sure you know all about PHs and stuff w/ your detailing, but the PH levels in all of those chemicals are too harsh and will also take off the clear on the polished/chrome lips. "Your wheels will last as long as you take care of them for"

^^Correct....and that vid of the fedex driver just pisses me off. Its good that they catch that crap on camera!

 

I also have an update for you guys, Chris(was at my place last Sunday with Brandon) is on his way to purchase the '06 6MT G35 coupe he was looking at in Minneapolis!!!!!!!!! whoop whoop!!!!

 

^^ Yea +1 to the salt/sand/winter sh*t that needs to be washed away by a few nice spring showers

 

called the dealer today...the black/black G was just sold. Time to start searching again i guess

 

that sucks man... at least you now have the loan approved and the process will go a lot quicker next time. and that might be for the best too, might now run into something better.

 

yeah, I am already back to searching, already found another with black interior and nav. 84k miles....its red, but I think I would be able to roll with it, less classy, but sportier looking I guess

What I am looking for the most is black interior and nav (but could go without for good deal), and decently miles.

This car will be for sale for the rest of this guys life. Def one of the ugliest G's I have ever seen.

UPDATE*** CHRIS BOUGHT THE G!!!!!!!!! Once he gets on here and does an intro, he'll officially be part of the Crew!!!!!!!

 

SWEET! it better not be black because I am jumping on this deal for a black/black with on 58K miles.

 

Hell yeaaaaa!!! I told him to post some pics and join the damn forums haha

 

Yeah, I just got off the phone with Brandon too...his a$$ should be posted here soon, he couldn't figure out how to navigate through the pages
