Not a fan of stretched tires and you have serious camber issues.

Otherwise it's beautiful. How much are those wheels? what brand?

I prefer some meat on my wheels..

[sc_coupe]

I'm gonna have to side with Kenrik on the stretched look, but to each his own right? (maybe the stretched is good for the shows, but I wouldn't know lol) But other than that it looks amazing. The wheel design I really like.

I don't see too many of the TB sedans, much less modded ones. Keep up the good work representin' sedans lol.

[4drmadness]

thanks!! yes to each his own. Just love the aggressive/ stretched tire look. I need to drop it more so that way there is no wheel gap.

[spacy9]

I like the wheel design. Are the side skirts going to be seemless when they are done?

Also, and I know this is out of left field, if you are taking it to a show you might want to do something with your rusty exhaust. Sorry, you said be critical

[4drmadness]

hahha thanks man!! i need to fix that asap, lolll

My sideskirts will be like oem nismo sides but they will be modified in the front to match the front bumpers height

these are volk sf winnings, almost 3 k

I have a confession to make:

4drmadness, when you said you were getting wheels I honestly assumed you were going to be like most who just got wheels just for looks but they never did it right. By doing it right I mean weak offsets and even weaker sizes. I practically said to myself, "oh boy here come some random guy who is going to throw some crappy wheels on his G and send it to hell". To you I owe an apology for that. You have proved me wrong and you have FAR surpassed any of my expectations!

THIS is what proper wheel fitment is supposed to be like!THIS is what I love!

You are doing it right and I like the personality you have given your car. Your stance is aggressive! You camber is on point, a decent tire stretch, and the wheel sizes look like man sizes to me. This brings a tear to my eye. To be honest, I believe a moderator should sticky this thread to make an example of your sedan to show future (and current) members how it's supposed to be done.

DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING!

You are going down a path to pure, unlimited, ultimate win.

I know you're not supposed to advertise other forums n' such, but I believe you have what it takes to get your car up on the Hellaflush blog.

Go to: http://fatlace.com/hellaflush/

Join that forum and put the pictures of your car when it's done and try to get "Hellaflush Approved".

You did well my friend!

So much swagger! I can't get enough of your car right now!

If we ever cross paths, remind me to shake your hand and buy you a coke.

*20 minute standing ovation*

[johnparkyourcar]

Damn nice offsets! I love the fitment. BBK?? Where is all this money coming from?!? And please do something about the chrome trimming already lol. I still gotta show you my HREs

[4drmadness]

I will be lowering my car a lot more tmrw n then ill post some pics. Let me know after that if i would need anything more before i do so.Thanks for the encouragement!!!! Really appreciate it

hahahah yea the chrome trimmin is blinding you huh lolll. Ey drop by my house one of these days. wanna really see the HRES

[Kalypso]

"oh boy here come some random guy who is going to throw some crappy wheels on his G and send it to hell"

same exact sentiment.

THIS is what proper wheel fitment is supposed to be like!

for real

this car is LEGIT...

much respect my man...a breathe of fresh air from many crappy looking g's as of late.

you've arrived.

[Kalypso]

Not a fan of stretched tires and you have serious camber issues.

that car is broken... see below for how its done.dont argue... its already over.

[Kalypso]

this is what a G should look like. madness you did it

[4drmadness]

thanks bro!! I actually know the owner of that coupe . He is my team member!! Learned a lot about offsets from this guy

[Kalypso]

buddha bless the both of you.

this car really hits the spot.

i do have one confession... you should think about putting the infiniti logo back on, or adding a focal point to the front so that the eye can have something to view from head on...

[4drmadness]

cool thanks for the suggestion man. will take into consideration for sure!!! my main goal right now is to lower my car so there will be no more wheel gap

[jmcohen23]

very sexy.... aggressive, yet stealthy....

[SVTCOBRA]

Very nice!! I keep thinking that the tires need to be wider...that they don't fill up the wheel, but this may be a trend that OLD people like me don't know about!

I also keep wondering since it has the GT on the back how it would look with the SKYLINE lettering too....

[370Z/28]

Looks great. You guys make me want some rims. Spacy9 beat me to the exhaust. Either try to polish it up with some fine steel wool or a good metal polish or paint it with a high heat semi-flat black or a gray.

I'm a big advocate for a nice license plate frame too. Nothing fancy, just a nice solid black one. Since you are going for a solid black look, you might want to check into a tinted plate cover if they are legal where you are.

[Sentientbydesign]

Dum dum dum dum....

Here's my take. Rims are nice. Not my style, but they're very nice quality and a great look. I'd personally have the spokes powder coated a darker color or even bronze/gold. Sounds bad, but it would really finish off the setup.

As for the stretched tires...Not really performance oriented. To each their own, but the stretched tires are more show than go. I like both with GO almost always winning.

Now for the offsets...Vivek, what were you thinking? Hellaflush would NOT accept that. Why? Cuz it's NOT flush

If you drop it some more, then the top of the wheels will look flush, but the stance is still too wide. I'd go wide body kit if you want to keep those.

Sorry, had to be honest.

To me the tires and the camber are the issues. But I think we need to look at this from two different points of view. My normal point of view is that of a car for the road. In that case even a wider track could affect that view point if it affects straight line handling, others would car only about corners etc. which could be where you live and drive. The same with lowering an X since I find mine as low as it can be from a practical standpoint for the snow. If it rained only, it would most likely be lowered by now.

But if you look at this from a show standpoint everything changes. Show car often have features that put them over the top in some way, in this case one of these features may be the stretched tires and camber. So I certainly wouldn't knock it for that purpose since it really has taken on a really nice look.

In my case being older I liked putting a lower profile fatter tire on the wheels, to the point of flowing over the edge of the wheel well past where good handling characteristics are lost. Would not want them for the street, but for show that is where I would go. The rest of the car however is pretty much hard to fault in its appearance.

WOW VIVEK!!!

Nice job bro!



Ok, I read peoples suggestions and kept scrolling back to look at the pics.

IMO - I don't get the 350GT emplem...not digging it.

I DEFINITELY agree with having a focal point on the front and maybe even putting the emblem on in the back.

I actually think the chrome has grown on me and suits the car.

Either way...your ride is tight as hell and I think she's a beautiful machine!!!

As for the pics of the G Coupe...

I just creamed... if I had the $$$ I would sooooo do that!!!!!

Again...awesome job V.

[Sentientbydesign]

Never use a LIGHTER to remove the G35 emblems. You end up depressed and put on a NISMO or 350GT emblem to cover up the "Scar".

[infinitgkid]

Now for the offsets...Vivek, what were you thinking? Hellaflush would NOT accept that. Why? Cuz it's NOT flush

I beg to differ... he did say he was going to lower the car some more so when he is done, and if he stays on the path he is on now... one can only speculate as to what his wheel gap would look like... if there will be any...

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

to one his own... but i don't really like the stretched wheels...

Im with Kenrik I like more meat on the rims...

Does look nice from the side lol

I prefer 'go' over 'show' for my cars, but appreciate the 'show'!!! Fun to look at!!!

I don't think Vivek will drop it AND leave the camber in the negative 5-7 degree range. Could be wrong, but I doubt it.

[RED_DET]

hate to spoil the party, but I hate wheels that stick out past the fender line and then you have to stretch the tire and run camber completely out of spec so the tire clears the inside of the fender. i don't get it and i never will.

but it has already been said, to each his own.

[Jdmstyles]

I'd turn my head 360 degrees just to look at your car while I'm driving.
