I thought about it but after having my Volk Racing G25 wheels only weighing 23lbs, you cannot go to any heavy rim. Most concave wheels are a heavier cast form, not forged. And you know me every car I had different parts (or removed parts like the Altima)

How do these Eibach springs effect your tire life on the M? I just got a 2011 M37S and want to lower it but. I had the Tanabe NF210 springs on my G35 and I had to get new tires every other year.

How's the adjustability for alignments? My G35 coupe has limited adjustability unless you install aftermarket components. What kind of camber are you running, and is your toe at zero?

Car looks amazing.

Dpe makes some forged 3 pc concave wheels. Probly won't be 23 lbs but neither are most other wheels besides those volks in 20"s. how much do the kranze wheels weigh? With all these different wheel set ups are you just "modeling them" lol or you buying and selling your previous set/s?

I order them and change them yearly or seasonally. My old Kranze went to a good home and a buddy's new project. Wheels from Japan tend to sell faster and easier and also have better quality control IMO. It's good real estate to keep because the residual on them are very strong.

It's called Black Polish Bronze Clear factory wheel color from WEDS Wheels








glad I can finally know that I have more room to play with readjusting the coils and being -1 offsets in the front onto a stock body.
