Powder Coated Wheels & Hankook Ventus V12 EVO's 245 / 275
Looks nice. I have the same tire size setup. IMO Infiniti should have gone with this size to begin with. It makes the car look more aggressive- especially from the rear.
Get a drop and you are golden.

I think I'll get a drop just don't want to do anything crazy
2-3 Hours seems really quick. Mine took 5 days I think. They sandblast the wheels to clean everything up. Then apply the powder and then bake for a few hours. I would expect at least a day or 2 to make sure everything cures properly.

Hi Everyone,
This is my first post, but I've been surfing the site for a while now. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the great info on the site.
Thought I would share my new additions
I had my stock rims powder coated at Hy Tech Powder Coating what a great experience, tons of colors to choose from (they have a WALL of samples) and quick turn around. Total was $400 for the set and they took care of everything ! I ended up going with a gunmetal color and I'm in love sets the car off so much better then the stock silver IMO. All my rims had some marks and chips after the powder coating they rims are BRAND NEW, so that along is worth the price of the coating.
I've put the site link below if anyone is interested in getting their rims done if you're in the Milwaukee/Chicago region. Great crew with tons of experience on coating rims.

While my rims were off at the shop I picked up a set off Hankook V12 to replace my Bridgestones which were falling apart. Overall as the others have said on their reviews the tires offer a softer ride and the side wall is softer compared to the Bridgestones. Still a fantastic amount of grip, and held together really well so far on a track day at Road America.
I jumped up a size on the tires based on what others have done on the site and let me say this, the car looks FANTASTIC with the wider tires in the front and rear. It really makes the rims and car pop I highly recommend. For those in question, I went with 245/40 R19 in the front and 275/35 R19 in the rear. Stock size is 225/45 R19 in the front and the 245/40 R19. There are ZERO problems with clearance or the speedo.
The car holds the road far better with the wider tires and the power gets put down a lot easier too. Car handles well in the rain, far better then the RE050's. Overall I'm very happy with the tires, I wish they were a tad more responsive but for the price you pay in comparison I'll gladly take it.
I've posted some pictures of my set up please enjoy and I'll be happy to answer anyones questions as I need to pay this site back for all the great information I've obtained over the last 3 years.
