[jltibbs]

Here's my 2000 I30:













For any of y'all that know me, the wheels were originally on my Q45:


Anyways, let me know what y'all think; good bad or indifferent.

[audtatious]

I seen that before

Next upgrades?

[jltibbs]

Lol. Maybe a y-pipe?

[audtatious]

No slam?

[jltibbs]

No. Just the y-pipe, and only because it came with it lol. I want to sink my time and money into my Q45. No since in have two cars for show. I'd rather just focus on one.

nice pick up jltibbs.

but i must say.. i am in love with that q45!.. its tooooo clean.

my car will get there someday... (slowly but surely)

and quick question:

are those 18s? on your 2000 i30 and sitting on stock spring/struts?

About time to start on the bodywork? Didn't seem to need much more last I saw.

Yeah, that's what I need to do. I need some chassis and suspension stuff as well.

are those 18s? on your 2000 i30 and sitting on stock spring/struts?

Yes. 18 x 7.5, +35 off of a 2003 Murano. Tires are 225/45 Primewell PZ-900.

It is interesting what a simple rim swap will do to a car. The factory rims sure did nothing for it but make it look like a old man mobile. The touring edition wheels looked OK on them from the factory at least.

[jltibbs]

Lol. Yeah, so, is that a round about way of you asking for my factory rims?

[audtatious]

Uhm, what would I want with the factory rims? Or are you trying to insinuate I want them for the "old man" look on the G's?

Hmmm...sleeper look. But, they won't fit

Those wheels really make a huge difference on it Jeremiah. They look even better now since I don't have to look at them on my phone.

I hated those wheels, even though they were passable when they were clean. Sadly I had to deal with them though after I found out one of my 17's were bent.

I didn't like the touring wheels either... the only wheels on the I30/I35 I liked were the I35 Sport(or touring?) 18's. The wife always though it looked like an old mans car anyways though
