The wheels look good.

But the pearl paint is fabulous!

What size are the wheels?

Those wheels are very nice looking. Who makes them? Are they 17x7 or 17x7.5?

Nice compliment to the pearl white paint.

I'm just guessing model and sizes, we'll see if I'm right or not.

I doubt those are +22, those would stick way out, if theyre 8in wheels. probably more like 30mm, they look like they sit very similar to my 8in wheels with 30mmoffset.

It's really hard to tell how far in or out they are with a side profile shot. My 19x8 +20 fronts are tucked in 10mm too much - 19x8 +10 would have been perfect, eventually I'll get 10mm slip on spacers, unless I end up selling these wheels first.

If the size / offsets I'm guessing are wrong, I'd say they other possibility is 17x8 +35 and 17x9 +47, but that just seems to me like it would be super tucked.

remember that the wheels are a lot more tucked on the Y33 than they are on the G50.. Just wider fender wells for sure on the Y33...

Looks nice, I almost bought the same wheels for my Q but I feared 17s would look too small. I bought these instead but decided to use them on my Maxima...

Rear end is jacked up as JIC is rebuilding my shocks, so I got OEM stuff on the back for now.

Rays Volk Evolution 4 Forged 18x8F with 35mm offset, 18x9R with 30mm offset.

Those combination bumper markers do not fit on 90-93 Q45s because these are bigger in size.I have used clear bumper markers from Japan for 90-93 models which I bought them accidently thinking that they would fit on 94-96 models. If you're interested in buying them, let me know. $50 shipped.

Beautiful wheels - love the lip and they way they resemble the BBSs, and I think 17" are the best size for the G50.

I just wish I had your budget - those are spendy pups!

Very nice.

Hey Greg, I'm very envy of your chrome rain guards too! I wanted to get it but the agent said that they would not ship the rain visors because they are so fragile or something and may be damaged during shipping. How did you install them? Did you had to drill holes or something?Show us some more pictures man!

BTW, If you really want the chrome mirror housing... I can try to help you get them, they usually sell for $150~$250 depends on the seller in Japan and shipping them to US will cost around $50~$60. Japanese Yahoo auctin is killing my wallet since last year and who knows what I would get from them in the future?

Yeah, mine got some slight bends in them. They attach pretty easily, but they're not as "durable" as I thought they'd be - They have to be readjusted on occasion.
