Here's my other ride, 1994 Caprice Wagon with an LT1.

Nicely done Andy. I just spent that on tires alone for mine. I wanted to put some larger wheels on there but I can't justify the $$$.

It looks good! I hate my stock turbine wheels.

[bullittandy]

You should buy my set of 17" chrome touring wheels when your tires wear out!!

[paranoidjack]

Andy those are perfect and follow the car beautifully. I'll probably do the same, it look so damn clean and OEM.

[elwesso]

looks really good, i hope the offsets are a little better for the Y33 than the G50 (they stick out a little too far)

either way, they look really good on the "big body" cars. And of course, OEM wheels are about as good as it gets for quality vs cost vs weight.

[bullittandy]

These wheels are staggered, 30 mm offset front and 33 mm offfset rear but the tires are all the same size so they are essentially identical. tires are 245/40/18, probably couls stand to have a 45 series on it but beggars can't be choosers.

Jack and Wes, you're exactly right about OEM wheels, they fit, are strong, look "right" and they are cheap!

If you still have them when they do I will. I figure that I'll get 45-55K miles out of them, so two years.

Andy can you post a picture from rear bumper looking up side of car? Ive been looking for the same wheels, currently im rolling on 2003 g35 17"s with peeling chrome, I hate the offsets they sit inside way too much but they were on car when I bought it. BTW your Q looks great with those wheels
Cheers Brent

Looks great! For $700 you did real well.

Classic 5 spoke design. I've always liked that look.

[NightRiderQ45]

Looks good! Yeah I saw that you were selling those 17" rims. If you remember awhile back, I put a thread up asking if anyone wanted to sell those style rims. Oddly, you put them up for sale ONE WEEK after I put a new set of tires on my ugly 20 hole 16" factory rims! Once I get all of the usefull life out of these new tires, I will get back in contact with you if you still have them for sale. Those will be much easier to clean in the winter months than my current style.

Oh, what size tire goes on the 17" rim?

[bullittandy]

225/50/17 on the 17" touring wheel.

[burgy240]

Nice, makes me wish I never got rid of my set.

[DeatschWerks]

Those do look good on there. I'm also a fan of the stocker G37 wheels. ...but I've looked at those. Apparently the G guys love'em, too and are quite proud of them.

[oldmako]

I'd love a set of those G wheels. Schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
