Yeah dude, Vossen rims are amazing. Like the geek I am, I've spent the past couple days looking at over 2,000 rims online to see what would look perfect. And so far, nothing tops the vossen's. Silver rims, black car...you don't think the red calipers would be a nice tiny contrast?

Woh, those red grill's I haven't seen before...yikes! Not sure if I'm diggin it...even though red & black combo are my fav colors.

Stillballin37: Definately man, I wouldn't wanna take it to some place where they'd possibly ruin the paint job. It would definately be one of those things that I'd leave last on the priority list of things to do to the car...Infiniti did an awesome job with the G37 IMO

You got it. Trust me bro, after 11 yrs driving a 96 Accord with over 280,000 km on it, I bought this baby 2 weeks ago and have fallen more in love with this car on a daily basis. I've even bought 7 different cleaning products after reading hundreds of consumer reviews. I wanna do mods that'll give the car a nicer edge and look than it already has. Since I'm not really into dropping it or making it sound louder, I've gotta be selective and smart with my mods. That's why I like this forum so much...u can learn form other ppl trying stuff out

Personally, the must mods have to be a drop and if your an auto get a grounding kit. The stock 19s look good IMO.

Props to you man. Doesn't look bad. And when you're bound to see other G's on the road, it'll be nice to have one that's got a slight edge over the rest

Yeah, I do have an auto..it's an '09 version. I'm gonna get the grounding kit for sure. And I would definately drop it, but roads in Toronto are horrible. It also snows 8 months of the year here so the car would be a snow plow pretty much...lol. I'd be too afraid of the many speed bumps we've got around here. Mine came with 18" stock, since I went with the AWD model, and they don't look bad at all, but once I saw the Vossen's, I just haven't been able to take my eyes off of them. Now I'll just have to sell my stock rims...what price...I have no clue

If your going to sell the stock 18s you gotta sell them on g35driver, or g35nyc a lot of people will show strong interest in them

Hmm...really, huh? I'll do that for sure. Thanks a million for pointing that out bro! I'm just not sure whether I should sell the rims alone or with the stock tires that came with it too And for what price? I guess I'll have to call the dealership tomorrow to see what the actual price of that would be.

You have no use for the stock tires unless your going with a winter set up... if they are flawless with good amount of life on the tires then you can sell it EASILY for 800

2 days after I bought the car, I removed the stock rims & tires and put on winter tires & rims. So they're practically brand new. When you say $800...are you referring to both the tires & rims together? After that, the decision will be to either go for 18" Vossen's or 19"
