Both wheel choices you posted are pretty nice, the Auto Coutures are the tits though!! Roughly, they'll cost you $800 each.

I don't know directly, but Super Autobacs can order that stuff for you, and they stock some Auto Couture wheels. Also, try D2 Autosport.

Hey Falk,

Im also considering getting a paint job... possibly to a dark plum color. Where is the best place in california (if you know) to get a custom paint job with the same quality as the original paint?

Gotta chime in here, you're going to paint a brand new car?????????????? You know what it would take to replace an Infiniti-level factory pain job? You're looking at 7.5k easy, leave it as is dude, simmer down and just drive man.

Let us know when you're dumping those stock rims, F50 and Y33 people will be on those like crazy. Me personally I drove my stock rims for 2+ years until the tires were worn, now I have some 19" rims waiting for the 17" tires to wear out.

You got money to burn?

Well Anyone who wants them let me know....send me an offer and we can work something out.

Yeh I planned on getting it painted even before i bought the car.... I'm either going to get it painted that bmw blue or plum color.

Be prepared to pony up 6 to 9 k to get a paint job as nice as what a Q comes with.

I know this may sound crazy.. but as I look more at more car I'm trying to figure out if my car really is the desert platinum color or if it is just silver? How can I be sure what the color is...as I just ordered some splash guards for the desert platinum so i hope they match.

Your paint code is located on the fire wall.lift the hood and look straight back to the firewall.about 6 inchs to the right and 2 inchs from the hood line is a sliver stamped code plack.I actually wrote down every single number and code and put them in my treo 650

Thanks Crews.. I believe it is the KX6 C which should be desert platinum. I know the kx6 means the color but what does the C stand for?

welcome back and congrats on a nice ride. Those stock wheels you got on their, are they the 17's ? They look smaller, almost like my i35 sport wheels.

Yes..they are tiny 17's. I do like the polished look to them but they are way to small for my liking and what I'm trying to do to the car to make a little VIP look.
