Running 20MM spacers up front and 30mm's out back

Lowered on Eibach Prokit and alignment was dialed right back to factory spec without camber kits.

Michelin Pilot Supers 245/40/19 all around in square fashion.








50/50 comparison with the hideous stockers




What you guys think?

 

Looks great, really works together!

I like the less cluttered spoke design yet still has some detail. I am not sure I am fan of the bright finish, but it does look great in the pics you posted.

 

I am not 100% on the finish either, but its not cheesy in person....

When I need new tires, I am really thinking about powdercoating them gloss black.

 

I think that looks fantastic. Well done.

Just curious if you purchased those used, and if so, what would a fair price range be for such wheels?

 

Send those hideous stock wheels to me for proper disposal.

 

These look really good in person. We had a few Q50s with them on the lot. Looks good on the coupe OP.

 

You guys will not believe the deal I got on these if I told you, but I am gonna tell you anyways....

Seller listed them for $1200 plus $200 shipping. This was WITH tires that had about 60% tread left...and I am talking about the Michelin PSS' .... To make things even sweeter, this dude even included TPMS...LOL

Instantly sent him $1400.

The dumbass wrapped the wheels in pretty much saran wrap, with nothing covering the face of the wheels. Subsequently, 2 of the wheels arrived with scuff damage. He refunded me $200.

I then sold my OEM 19s for $900. At the time, my Potenzas were absolutely done for, and the deal couldnt of come at a better time for me.

$1400 - $200 -$ 900 = $300 for some wayyyy better wheels and 8-10 extra months of free driving on the best rubber money can buy.

Oh and let me just mention the Q50 TPMS do NOT work with G37s....so I found a buyer for those for $260. LOL

It will cost me $72 to swap out the Q50 sensors at my local tire shop and replace my OEM G37 TPMS, so the difference is $188.

$300 - $188 = $112

The BEST $112 Ive ever spent in my entire time living on planet Earth.

 

These wheels retail at the dealer for $1500. Then theres the cost of tires.

Realistically....you should be paying anywhere from 1400-1600 for a used set with tires.

 

I don't consider the stock wheels to be ugly by any stretch. The new wheels don't look too bad, but I would rather have the OEM coupe wheels on my car.

That said, I am glad you tried something new and adventurous on your car. Way to make it yours!

 

I just don't see how you have stock camber specs with the OEM camber adjustments. The front has zero adjustability and the rear is very limited. I have Eibach springs, front and rear SPC with rear toe bolts and Touge Factory (a very well known shop in Chicago) can't get any less than -1.8 degrees of rear camber with toe in spec. The only feasible explanation if your camber is in spec, is that your toe is out of spec.

 

Its not my fault your whack *** alignment man couldnt get yo sh*t back in spec !

I kid I kid

To be completely honest, the entire car was back in spec minus the front passenger wheel, which was only able to be pulled back to -1.6 camber. I specifically asked that he zero'd out the toe as priority, camber being second.
In my opinion, -1.6 is very livable with specially considering that I am running a square setup and I will be rotating tires.

I dont have the alignment sheet on hand, but I wouldnt sit here and lie to you about it. In fact, he pulled one side of the rear back into spec with I sh*t you not, ONE pull of the wrench, and the computer screen lit up green.

When it comes to springs, theres not a single drop thats exactly equal. Some people's fronts lower less OR more than other people's fronts. All cars are different. Sometimes, different tires or adding track width by using spacers can change the alignment just that tiny bit to make the difference.

Bottom line, my car tracks straight as hell and doesnt get pulled by road imperfections like it did before my alignment, the difference was night and day.

 

I appreciate the input. I unfortunately had secretly hated the 2011+ Sport wheels ever since I saw them. To me, they are by far the BUSIEST design Nissan has ever put out in the history of time LOL. Oh and I absolutely loathed cleaning those things....I wish Nissan would have made the IPL wheels the 2011+ Sport wheels, but hey, its all gravy.

I definitely love the face design of these new wheels, to me, they remind me of an Infiniti M sport wheel but with much more aggressive detail. As I mentioned, I am not 100% sold on the finish, I dont hate it whatsoever, Im just not exactly in love with them. In reality, I want the finish to be something like this color in the photo below. Its like a graphite black.

 

Nice score Chili!
They would look killer in the gunmetal, maybe you should take that $112 and buy some lottery tickets, just to press your luck

 

Im gonna go buy some lottery tickets today AND tomorrow.

If I win any amount of millions, I promise to buy you a GT-R in any color of your choosing

 

Front wheels at -1.6 degrees camber is miles outside of spec. If you had them installed recently, wait a bit, and you'll be even further out.
