People have them. I'll chime in and say they look great on a G50. Very nice.

I run them on both g50s. I think its a killer look. Had to fabricate caps from some I30 wheels but they look really cool.

I take pics and send them to wes.

Those are chromed.

IMO, they look more like there're a part of the car, more OEM that is, prior to being chromed. The chromed look is very slick and "custom" looking.

The problem with these wheels is that there is no way to tell if they are recalled unless they are on the original car.

There is a TSB where Infiniti cancels the warranty on all wheels chromed by a third party.

i'm a bit confused, not that unusual really. the wheels i'm interested in are not chromed. i realize that used anything is always a crap shoot at best. my question is about fitment. i currently have the Qt BBS edition wheels in very good cond. i thougt that the 17'' wheels would give me an updated look and more tire options. also i really hate cleaning those BBS,s no matter how good of quality they may be.

Cap'n- I came up one short when I put my 300TT rims back on and a perfect match was on the shelf from Napa Auto Parts. I'm sure you'll be able to find them at any good parts store. The parts counter guy can tell you which one you need (metric 21mm) but do make sure the angle of the lug nut's bevel where it seats to your rim is the same. You'll know what I mean when you look at the choices. You're looking at least $2-$4 per nut for a nice chromed one X 20. Post pics when you get them mounted.

Iceberg. Straight ahead!

What? Y0u don't like to toothbrush your wheels?

Quite frankly, 7.5" wheel width is not sufficient for many decent tires. 8.5" width is required.

Well, Hippie Hollow has been a non-straight venue for a couple of decades now. But back in the day, it was like the Riviera. Even Barton Springs had its top free sector for years. Oh well, so much for progress.

The car pictuerd above is not mine and I have not had theses wheels on either of my Qs.

Those are factory chrome and were pruchased NEW for the car owner.

The fit is good, but Maxnix is right, you really want something wider and perferably forged, but stepping up to the 18's gives you options.
