I Came across these on Ebay and they were Mint condition dubs from a FX including OEM TPMS. It was a steal for $1000 Total $150 to ship

Here is a Picture of My Brothers Black M35x and mine on the Right with the FX Dubs.

I have no problems as far as rim fitting, tire noise, ride is like stock.. hence the stock wheels!

Also, depicts a very classy ride with low profile tires and keeps it lookin better than ghetto wheels!

A good Idea for a Black Infiniti would be the 20" Infiniti QX Wheels. someones gotta do it up!

Is there much of a difference in the ride quality? .. since you're tires are lower profile?

And it looks like stock suspension on both cars no?

The only thing keeping me from doing this on my 06 is the fact that the stock 20s weight about 10 pounds per wheel more.. which would affect your mileage and maybe even wear on your wheel bearings and more pressure on your steering rack. Maybe I'm just being paranoid :D

The Ride quality If anything the same as the stock 18's, However I am going to say It Rides a lot smoother with the 20's due to the surface area. You might lose a few gallons per mile.. but its normal when your turning a bigger wheel. As far as wear on your wheel bearings etc... Most likely when you put a bigger rim on any car Its heavier requiring more pressure to accel, stop, turn. However they design different size rims for certain cars. The tire sizes are posted in the pics below this post. It handles better because of the stiffer side walls. I have michelin all seasons for my stock 18's in the winter. I am very happy with my purchase and it is very noticeable with these rims on my car. They look mean! :mad:

Alright Ilyakol, Here are some more angles taken from my iphone 3g to give you a better look!

I wanted Rims on the car But I wanted to be unique and different than a generic ghetto looking wheel.. So i decided to keep the car classy. I was looking for G37 19's but at the time couldnt find them!

The color on my FX Wheels are Hypersilver, my stock 18's are Regular alloy color

They are same as stock M wheels just 2 inches bigger for that year fx!

The next Three Images I had rotated on my Computer, but when I upload they load sideways, you may need to save and rotate it for a better perception!

I gotta say I was a little sad to see you sell the springs. Was looking forward to seeing you drop the car lol


Preluda, the wheels look good :dblthumb:

Maybe one day I will. No plans right now, but who knows. I'd love to get the OEM sport springs, but I have an X so it won't work as far as I know. And I don't want to be the one to test fit. lol.
