Welcome to NICO! Sorry to hear about your incident

If your rims are like my sig pic, then you have the 19" performance package.

My advice is to check out craig's list, autotrader, the paper, and of course e-bay. Also, when you post, please don't use all CAPS; it comes off as yelling, and sometimes, you won't get the response you would like. Lastly, check your personal info...I don't want you to get flamed for spelling Infiniti wrong

I second the Infiniti comment.

Welcome to NICO!

Call around to a couple of dealers in your area. They typically have take-offs.

Infiniti of Riverside has the 18" for around $350 for the whole set.

I'd sell you mine, but then I'd be up on blocks lol

don't forget about craigslist as well. You can find some good stuff pretty cheap too.

hey thanks alot for the links, i did call some people and well im thinking . what yor opinion black on black? ps im still lookingh for some rims sport tuned well i really needd just one

[Hookm36]

you could always call a junkyard.....not sure if they would have unless it is a really big one, but if they do, and after they give you the price, tell them the "other" junkyard be ready to tell them a true name of one in the area, has the same rim for 50.00 cheaper ! This works for me when needing any parts.

I once needed a stock air box for my BMW 325i (no haters please) and called a junkyard who wanted 175.00 for it, i explained that the other junkyard had it for 130.00, but they were closer to where I lived.......got the box for 125.00.

I like the black on black idea.

However, take this into consideration. If you aren't going with the factory 19s you might regret it.

The factory 19s are very lightweight forged rims. They are stronger and lighter than most after market rims. That's not to say that there aren't forged aftermarkets around the same weight, but they probably won't be cheap.

Rotating mass will rob you of all of that wonderful power we all love. So I'd stay with the factory or another set of forged rims.

If you want black and your budget is low, I would get a set of factory 19s and paint them. Somebody in the Maxima/I30 forum did a write up on it and I bet one of the 240 guys probably has too.

hey check on the links you gave theres two options u gave me one of them has the black forged rims its the same ones but paineted black , and the other are the regular color.the guy selling the black forged rims is asking 600$ with no tires and the other guy is asking 1000 with tires even thou the front ones are worn som whats a better deal ??? my g35 is black

[Sentientbydesign]

I would go with the regular colored ones and do your own paint job later if you really want to.

Sounds like the unpainted ones are in better condition and those tires are an arm and a leg unless you have a set already.

You can always eBay the extra ones.

Heyguys i was able to find a rim and it has been ordered now im looking into getting some tires, i went to tire track like you tol me and want to know if these are good and do they fit my rims...i got the stock 19 rays forged rims 19.8 front and 19.85 backs 1.will these tires fit ? 2.and are they good? 225/40ZR19 XL Kumho Ecsta SPT Blackwall 245/40ZR19 Kumho Ecsta SPT Blackwall what is the rubber part called behind the tire called it came of and i need a new on before i place the new rims and tires

[deadescobar]

and are they good? 225/40ZR19 XL Kumho Ecsta SPT Blackwall 245/40ZR19 Kumho Ecsta SPT Blackwall

I haven't personally tried, them but I've read reviews on them.

It seems that they are a decent UHP tire, but they don't really compare to the factory Potenzas.

There was quite a bit of talk about them in the Maxima/I30 forum. You might do a search for the tires in all forums and see what comes up.

Make sure that you compare reviews from similar cars. Meaning that a Maxima and a G35 aren't really comparable. Maybe a souped up 240 might be a good comparison. The 350Z would also be great.

And yes, they will fit. I'm not sure what rubber thing you're talking about though.
