hello is this stock height on the car with the M56 alloys. I want to grab some but I wanted to see how they looked without lowering the car. Wasn't sure if you lowered. Thanks

Niche Verona

TSW Jerez

Niche Surge


Which set would you go with? I did some photoshoppin' on how a couple sets I'm interested in look on my 07 m35. Since my car is lowered (vip style) I need to find something with the right offset. I'm liking the Niche's but let me know what you guys think and if you have any other wheel suggestions. Not looking to spend any more then $1400 on the wheels tho

I think they all look decent just not great! You could look into concept one wheels or Vertini wheels also!

[Ilya]

The Surge's look like Vossen CVT's.

FYI the photos of Niches on their website are the 10" and I'm not sure the offset is compatible with our cars. You won't quite get that concave look with the 9"

If you do get them, I got a good price from customwheelsexpress.com

I'm considering purchasing these wheels for my silver 2006 Infiniti M35 Sport:



Model - ADR Propulsion
Size - 20 x 9.5 (all around)
Offset - +35mm
Tires Considering: 275/30/20 or 275/35/20 (front and back)
Stock Suspension

Does anyone see any problems with these sitting flush to the body or rubbing? I don't want to have too much sidewall, but being I drive through Metro Atlanta a lot (raggedy streets) I need some extra protection (Tire suggestions?). I rode 225/30/20 for a few years and it was very hard on the wheels.

[Wangtang408]

Wassup guys, I want to get new rims STR 607 I probably wanted to go 19s with a side of 40s on the tires but the tire shop said they didnt that size so they offered me 245/35r19/ 275/30r19 but for those tire size I can get the rims and tire in 20/ for the same price as 19s. I am lowered of Tien S techs, what do you guys recommend 19s or 20s?

Model - STR 607 - Gun Metal ,
Size - 20x9 (front), 20x10.5 (back)
Tires Considering: 245/35r20 (front), 275/30r20 (back)
Offset - +30 (front), +35 (back)
Suspension - Tien S Techs

[DoN_BLaZe34]

The choice seems clear. Why spend that money on 19s when you can get 20s. Just my opinion

[Wangtang408]

Good deal for rims and wheel mounted and banlanced with tpms transfer.
I will make the 2hr trip Friday. Dub Nation!

[DoN_BLaZe34]

XIX has been around for years, I had a set of their rims on my 07 M45 a few years back.

They look good!

Wassup Nico!
Long story short the wheel shop cannot get an ETA on STR 607 Gun Metal 20".
Now they are offering me Niche Milan and same size for 50 bucks more.
I have a white 06 m35 lowered on S Techs.
Which color do yall think would look best?

[66resto]

Where are the '03-'04 guys?

I want to run some 19" or 20" with 295-305 on the rear on a 10 inch rim...what backspacing and offset do I need to get the most lip possible?

M134's... They seem to be closest to what you wanted and would look good on your white M.

JIggersplat, I really like your set up, any rubbing? With my M35x, hate the gap, but am ok with Stock suspension. Was thinking 255s on 7 spoke 20s too. Also, lucernes only have a 35 or 40 offset, would a 40 offset bring the rear wheel in too far? First post! (Gotta get rid of that gap)

[jiggersplat]

No rubbing. I didn't think they had +40 on the 9" rims but if they do I think that would be just fine. +35 is just a hair too far out for my taste but barely noticeable.

[dsloan66]

I'd be interested to learn if anyone has installed 245/45/19 on stock AWD suspension. Up north on bad roads, I need the extra sidewall, and it's only +1" over OEM tire diameter, with no extra width. (New nember here, still digging through the forums)

[jiggersplat]

I'm thinking about some 235/55/18 on my stock rims for winter. I'm guessing it should be no problem... there are a couple guys here running 22's

[dsloan66]

JIggersplat, are your Lucerne's black chrome or Anthracite/grey?
Thanks

Anthracite. The black chrome is interesting but I avoided it because it's probably not easy to touch up curb rash.

Well I am sad to report I have a bent rim... didn't even make it through one winter. Kind of a drag... I was gonna buy some cheap-o ADR/Stern rims but decided to spend a little more because I heard those things were made out of butter. Niche has been around for a while and I guess I thought they would be a little higher quality. I'll probably drive it for the rest of the summer and get it straightened next winter after I throw the stock rims back on with some winter tires, or maybe just buy a replacement depending on cost.
