I only created a thread on it so that it comes up in search for future use. I think it looks quite nice actually.

BTW the car is for sale in my area (not for sale by me): http://www.craigslist.org/sby/car/72212604.html

Nice!

Looks like my old Q with the six-spoke G35 17" wheels:



Different color on mine, of course!

Are those 94 tails? Do you have another pic of the back? I was at pick N pull and saw some there but I've never seen them on a 90-93 before.

Yup! Mine was a 95 for sure.

There are a lot more pictures of it in Member's Rides section under my name.

I sold a set of similar wheels for $275 for a set of four in the recent past ... I can appreciate that this is not a small amount for many people. Hopefully, this will change for you in the future!

I had the G35 Coupe wheels. These were 17 x 7.5 as I recall and I ran them with 245/45-17 Falken Ziex tires. The offset was not perfect (30mm rear and 33mm front) meaning that the you could not do front-to-back "rotation" without making them look odd. The offset means that the tires were a bit "under the fender", but still worked pretty well as you can tell from the pictures!

I also sold a second set of 17 x 7.0 to a NICO member here who wanted a set for winter tires for his wife's G35, as I recall. Good decision by him - it is a lot easier to simply change wheels instead of having to remove and store one set of tires and mount and rebalance the other - twice per season!

They went to a NICO member here - as mentioned above - for his wife's G35. Found a good home, for sure!

You can occasionally see similar ones up for sale on eBay at about 350 to 500 for a set of four. Mine were used - less than one or two thousand miles, I believe, and had a few tiny surface scratches and a few tiny scratches along the edge on one of them, so the $275 was a fairer price.

Yeah. I'm not looking to spend a fortune on wheels so i could manage a few surface scratches and a couple thousand miles of wear and tear.
