10.5 all the way around...wow! It can be done and has been done but the offsets are very conservative. you can't get too aggressive up front with 10.5". So what wheels did you decide on?

She's got a nice set up but I'm not a fan of that stretched out 255 on the 10.5" wheels but plenty of people run their set ups like that so I'd better shut up now LOL

I like the look and concavity of the Vossen CV-1's CV-4's in the polished/machined look. But I haven't decided. My old car had Work VS-XX's but they are a tad heavy and don't want my mileage to suffer much more.

I like the current set-up that Natalie's G has.

I will definitely take a look at Velgen's wheel line. I heard some good stuff about them and saw the manufacturing process on youtube. They appear to make some solid wheels at a good price.

Keep in mind that if you thought your Work Wheels were on the heavy side these other cast wheels are going to be even heavier!

Agree about the stretched setups, I just don't want the four things keeping me alive being abused like that

Really? Oh man lol that changes things a bit. I thought cast wheels were a bit lighter. I didn't want want my mpg to suffer more. Question, since the wheel size increases from 18-20" and the wheel may be heavier. Does it throw the speedometer off? Ex. Cruising at 65 maybe be in reality 60 or 70 vice versa?

For those of you with grounding kits. Did you use original grounding locations? One on each side and grounding the engine and transmission? My project this weekend is building a kit. I've already done my tsb update for the shifting issue. I've read that this may also help 7AT in shifting quicker and the making decisions faster when shifting.

There is tons of information on here for the G and I'm glad to be apart of the forum. Picked her up with 44k miles in October. Haven't seen too many in this color on the forums but love the color change depending on lighting conditions.

Mods so far are 35% tint all around, 5000k low beam bulbs, front chin spoiler, splash guards, rear deck lid, Cusco FSTB, interior and exterior 5k LED's.

I will probably start modding again after winter. Looking forward to meeting more Bay Area folks for inspiration.

Here she is. Cheers!

Congrats on the Car! I am also from the Yay! East Bay.

I am in the market now for a G37S in that color. Just gave back a lemon 2013 ALtima3.5SV in Java Metallic (same color I think). Maybe if I find one, we Yay Areans can get together! I'm also considering a Q50.

Very nice. You won't regret the purchase at all. There are still meets going on I believe in Fremont Auto Mall.

I noticed there are a lot of 2010 G37's coming back. Leases from what I am reading on the ads. You should be able to snag a mint condition one at a good price and low miles.
