What is the width and profile of your tires?

Have any clips of your exhaust? Is it a mid pipe back system?

Thanks for the compliment Wheelz. I was looking at the side shots of your car with the factory wheels versus the 21's. Oh what a difference. Those FX50's really raise the bar in terms of that VIP look.

These cars look great with 20's, 21's, and even 22's in some cases.

I'm going to stick with 19's mainly because my ride quality is great right now and I don't want to increase the road noise. But when it comes to looks, these cars really do beg for a bigger wheel.

Wheelzs3,

You mentioned earlier that you had to replace the 2 front Megans. What was the reason for the replace work?

Well it's weird to explain I was pulling into a parking lot that has a lot of pot holes and thought i could actually drive threw it without f***ing something up. So instead of just backing out i proceeded to drive threw. I really only blew one but i wanted to be on the safe side so i had them both replaced

Ride looks nice, but does it rub at all with people or when taking aggressize turns? It really looks like it would. Thats the number one thing I do not want to happen. let me know. thanks

Your ride looks fricken sick! How much those rims & tires set you back if you don't mind me asking?I think you should leave the rims as they are. No powder coat needed. We need sound clip and video please!I would have thought 21" tires would be very hard to find....

The new FX50 has a great powertrain and suspension system. Though they really dropped the ball on the front end view of this Infiniti. I'm not sure what they were thinking when they decided to make it look like a amphibious vehicle. It really looks like the ugly Hyundai Tucson's front end in more ways than one.I know a new M50 will later rise from the FX50. It's no doubt.We will have a M37 & a M50 to choose from soon to come. I really hope they refine the looks of the new M instead of crucifying its styling.....as they did with the FX50. We can all hope they will be smart, as Infiniti's sales are looking bleak. You guys all wonder why the aftermarket doesn't look at these vehicles.....well the lack of Infiniti owners would be the reason.I hope this changes soon for them.....or the brand might disappear from the States. Just my speculation.

Thanks. Well the tires cost me 1100$ and the wheels cost me 4000$ had to buy 4 tire pressure sensors but i got them really cheap on ebay for 30$ and actually nope no rubbing i really hate to ride with people in the car but when i do there is no rubbing. I'm thinking about selling the wheels, the suspension and the rear spoiler cuz I MIGHT buy another car not sure yet.

$4,000 for the Wheels?? Wow! That has a heavy chunk of change! Why you selling the car?? It looks so good!What are you wanting to replace it with?I may be interested in the wheels and tires if you decide to sell, but not willing to spend what you spent.

Well i was thinking about A Lexus IS-F or a BMW M3 not sure. I payd 1000 each wheel and that was from the dealer the list price for each wheel is $1390 per wheel so I got a good deal plus your not really going to see ppl with those wheels on a M. If i do sell I would say around $2500 and i'll give you a good deal on the suspension if your interested!!!!

I'll wait and pick up a set of pull-offs from ebay for around $1200--might have to wait a few months, but you could have done some *really* nice multipiece wheels + tires for that money.

Not hatin' just sayin'.........

If you buy them on ebay then you'll be paying the same cuz they don't come with skinny tires but I completely understand but the price is neg so if anybody out is interested let me know. I am also going to be selling my Tein flex coilovers and my Megan coilovers but before I do I will most definitely post a sound clip with my exhaust

Well I don't think 2500 is a bad price being that your getting the rims,tires and coilovers that's not a bad price @ all but if you feel it's to much shoot me a email with a reasonable price and we can work out something.

Sorry, I must have missed where you said you were selling the setup. $2500 for that is a steal! What about wheels/tires?

That is VERY NICE setup & looks classy as hell! Man.......that is great price for rims/tires/coilovers! I wish I was on the east coast to pickup. Called the dealer and they quoted me $1390 per wheel.

Thanks haab4u for the comment... I bought a brand new tire for one of the wheels it had a nail in it and i didn't wanna patch it. A couple of people told me 2500 for the wheels are to much but they have to realize that I had to pay for each wheel and 4 new tires the sensors and (which i forgot to mention) 20 new FX50 lug nuts the M lug nuts don't fit also I get the car back 2moro so I will take pics and the video of the car in action then post it. Hope you enjoy

Anytime bro! Gotta appreciate a clean ride modded with superb taste. I actually got a good friend that lives in Boston and he's coming to CALI in July so if you are interested in selling I'm definitely interested. I'll just have him pick up and ship for me. So just let me know what your plans are with selling your setup. Thanks.

So how much would you say the car dropped without rubbing?

Did you have to cut or roll your fenders?

The wheels are nice. The car looks well executed. Congrats.
