Looks great!! I want some now!!

Daughter backed her Max into a pole last week and got a boo-boo just like yours. Wife held a hair dryer to it and I pushed it out with the handle of a screw driver then hit it with some touch up paint. Turned out pretty good!! Not nearly as noticeable.

nice wheels, if you like the stock look...

Just kidding! welcome to nico! when they paint the bumper, be sure to ask for a quote on the black plastic runners all around... it'd look sick.

Nice wheels bro

Nice work Dolamite! I'd love to have the 18" OEM rims on my G. Looks like you got new rubber too... mind me asking what you paid for them? They look awesome!

oooooooh yeah and guys, if yall decide to get those kind of wheels, make sure you have the 2008 lugnuts to go with those wheels. The 2004 lugnuts wont snug the tire down. I found out the hard way. I was getting them mounted at the local tire shop and the guy torqued the lugnuts and they wouldnt tighten all the way. it was eating into the metal. He stopped and told me that he realized he needed the 2008 wheel lugs for the wheels to seat properly. They didnt have any in stock, so they called the local Nissan and Infiniti dealers......$10 a piece for lugs. $200 they wanted for lugnuts......well they ordered them and i waited and waited and waited....2 hours pass by and they finally show up with the lugnuts. They guy at the local tire shop pulled me on the side and said. Look i have to charge infiniti for the wheel lugs, but since you been such a patient customer, im not going to charge you for the lugnuts. My patience saved me $200. Damn infiniti lugs.

I have a picture of 19' M45 wheels on a L35 they looked really good.

The picture was taken at a stop light so you really don't see a good shot.

But I saw them in person and it looked really nice!

Haha...here's my answer to my post a few weeks back Tampa! Dolamite got you off the hook for not snapping the pic at Target for me

They look good Dolamite. Mind me asking how you got a set and what it cost you?

Dang...I thought it was going to be a lot more...I just got new tires so I could justify that price if I found a set. I like them a lot but just don't see myself finding a set for as good a price since it seems like new cars don't 'shed' their wheels so quickly! Nice find and they look good!

I was expecting to see some after market rims, but saw the rims, and thought, "Hey! It looks like mine!!"

Choosing rims from current year model instead of after market and keeing stock look, that's my kinda mod! Very good taste!
