Sittin' on 21" FX50 wheels

Finally able to snap some photos of my M sittin' on 21" FX50 wheels. Just wanted to get my M looking cool before posting some pics of it.

The Megan C/O's are coming off. Up for sale. I don't like the ride quality and feel of them but love the stance of my M with them.

Beautiful! Where did you get the wheels and how much, if you dont mind?

[haab4u]

I bought them off a guy on either this forum or the F.A. forum from the east coast. These are hard to find used on EBAY etc. They are $1390 each from the dealer without tires.

I saw some guy on here in the classified section selling a set for $2500 without tires.

Car looks fantastic!

[haab4u]

Thanks 07sportm35! I took the Megans C/O's off and replaced with EIBACHS, the stance is almost the same just a slight tad higher. With the Megans my wheels were tucked pretty good & the stance was aggressive but the ride was harsh.

Nice ride man, I think I have seen some dude on here with a white M with same setup, lowered too ...

[mjlyn]

Nice, really sharp looking car.

Where did you get the spoilers?

Interesting those tires do not show up in 21" at TR nor Dunlop.

Don't think the rubber bands on those big ol' cast wheels could affect the ride any, do ya?

[haab4u]

Got the spoilers off of EBAY. This is the combo with trunk and roof but you can purchase them separate if you have a stock trunk spoiler already.

You can get them from TireRack. Not sure if Dunlop is still making this series.

How much negative camber do you have with the Eibachs. Im trying to get them to make a camber kit. I ended up with -2* on each side.

[hoaapple]

Man, that looks nice!

[haab4u]

I'm @ -1 camber right now. But the springs are still settling so it may go negative more. I'll keep you posted on that.

[Biz77]

I like it that looks pretty good. $2,500 is kinda pricey though IMO

[haab4u]

Thanks Biz77. YEP......that is pricey just for the wheels only. But that's still cheaper than the dealer.

[nadzak]

Too much. Nice wheels, but for that kind of money, there are many choices out there...Including the tires.

[haab4u]

nadzak, Looks like you got the OEM FX45 wheels. Did you buy new or used?

[nadzak]

New, but getting rid of them soon because I am upgrading to 22's.

[gigatt]

Hey nadzak, tell some people on this board why you upgrading to 22's.

[nadzak]

Cause i like the look. The M35 is a big car and it looks proportional with the 22's. I have a 69 mustang, and I would never put anything more than 19's on that car, but it is all about what I like. Others have different preferences, to "each his own".

I couldn't agree with you more man. It is all about what you like. Everyone's personal touch to their M adds character to their ride. That's why you, me and everyone else is on this forum. Trying to show your uniqueness.

[hoaapple]

If you don't mind me asking, why'd you take the splash guards off? Was it to get more room for the wheels?

[haab4u]

YEP.....but I might put'em back on.

[micmicmotorbike]

paint those bad boys black. they look a lot better than i would have thought.

[audtatious]

Those fill the wells nicely. The brake system looks tiny, time to upgrade to newer Infiniti brakes from a G37?

[bicsintegra]

damn i love the look i can't wait to get some rims on mine an dthe wife out of my M35

[haab4u]

Naw.....I'm not a fan of black wheels on black cars. Sometimes it looks like "overkill" but sometimes it looks damn good, its gotta be the right car with right rims for it to look sick. I'm not sure it would look right in my situation. Maybe if they were like mesh type in hyperblack but I'm not gonna go there. I'm happy with the way it looks as is.

[biffed]

Those look super clean.. i am looking around for a set for my M.. Did you have any rub with hard turning?? Any mods to get them to fit..

[max4speed]

That looks SICK! Yeap I am the guy selling a like new set of these These have to be the best looking wheels for the M after the OEM 19s.

Thanks Biffed. I was slammed on C/O's & when set too low I did scrap on dips, tight U-turns and uneven surfaces at high speeds. It was set too low & I didn't really like the ride quality of the C/O's so I removed them and put in EIBACHS which I like. The ride quality is near the comfort of stock except better handling.
