[IMG]I have a 06 G35, I was planning on purchasing the car at the end of the lease. My wife came to me and told me she did not want to drive a SUV anymore and she doesnt want to drive a stick. So I came across a I35 and bought it for her cash. I ran into some financial trouble and decided I need to get rid of 1 of my cars, unfortunately the G35 cost me more to drive than my SUV, so... I decided to try and sell the car and failed. I then decided to just turn it in at lease end. Infiniti sent out the inspector and gave me a bill for $3000 due to after market wheels. I am looking for someone to trade stock wheels for my aftermarket 20x8 wheels. They have a nice deep dish and look great. They are chrome but do not look bling, the car still looks sporty. If anyone is in the Atlanta, GA area and wants some wheels I will trade them for free, I need the stock 18's . I did not keep the stock wheels Here is a pic of the wheels: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/....html

Sorry but I have to agree with them. The chance if anybody would trade for those wheels are close to 0. You can probably get those whels new for 200-250. To me those not apeal at all.

What I would do is to look around and buy a set of Infiniti Rays and put it back on the car and later selll these wheels. You can probably get a set of Rays for 1000-1200. If you can sell these tires you have for 400-500. Than you only loose 500-700. Less than 3k for sure. That's the best you can do and learn from it. If you lease either don't upgrade or keep the stock parts so at the end of the lease you can put them back.

I have a question have did you want to sell a lease car? You said you leased the G and trued to sell it. Well if you lease that is not yours. You basically rent it on a long term. How much did you sell your original tires?
