I am expecting delivery, soon, of 17" rims (about 6000 miles used - with a minor scratch on one wheel) from an Infiniti G35 that I got for $660 for all four wheels. I thought this was a good deal.

I plan to use them on my 1995 Q. This worked out since these six spoke G35 sedan wheels have the same offset (45mm) as my existing 15" wheels, so should be okay.

The choice of tire is still undecided. The strongest contender is the Firestone SZ50EP in a 245/45-17 ZR rated size, since I am very happy with their 225/60-15 ZR that I currently have. Another possibility is the Yokoham AVS db S2.

Where are you at in OP? I am originally from the westside, Cedar Hills, but that was many, many moons ago. I live on the Southside now off Hodges. I remember OP when the Argyle was a dairyfarm:icon18

Don't you jsut hate the 300 x 300 limit to images. I got out my magnifying glass, & the wheels look great. Is that a fly sitting on the passenger mirror?

I have an appointment Tuesday for service. I'm going to have the dealer install a wind deflector for the sunroof. I used to have one on my J30 and really liked it. The dealer is trying to come up with a fix for adding XM radio. We'll see!
