Still dealing with rebuilding my house after fire...thankfully the garage was not effected but the drywalling left 2" cloud of dust on the Q45, horrible. So they guy finally finished the job and I rolled it out to the detail guy for a polish. I still liked the M45 Sport wheels but these are a more stately look and the price was right. I was concerned about them being cheap and not balancing well but they are great. I purposely bought the stock size and offset and BANG the coilovers would not let them fit without spacers again. Crap, so this whole affair was too much $$ but now I have a car that looks good, drives great and handles like MoFo.

For $650 in 19" from Tirerack these wheels are a bargain.

thanks guys! I have not been too active, rebuilding the house and dealing with job changes has been a time sink. I hope to be living back in my house in April and start to roll miles on the Q regularly for my new 80 mile round trip commute. Driving my 6MT XTerra is getting old :)

Nice!

You said they are 19"... how wide are they? staggered?

What offset did you get? What offset should you have gotten?

Thank you!

Sorry lagging on this thread. These the stock offset, but because of the coilovers I had to do very small spacers, GERR, but it does make it look way cooler. they are not staggered, these are 19x8.5 rims with 245/45 19" tires (Michelin Sport Cups).
