Nice. My Millenia was silver...same deal, cleaned MAYBE once a month..spent more time keeping the wheels clean than the car!

IlyaKol wrote:I know. I regret getting black. I want white SO BAD. This is the last black car I own. PITA to keep clean.

To your point it takes time and dedication to clean it appropriately, but when clean black looks sick. Hard to do it justice in pictures. Another benefit is that you can use it as a mirror to get ready in the morning.

Yeah, I know. The wet look is nice after a 4hr wash, dry, clay, wash, dry, wax procedure. Unfortunately, I don't have as much time to dedicate to the M as I did with the Maxima as I'm now further along in my career, back in school, etc.

Here is some I took after such a cleaning session:

this is just the thread i needed....wheel & car match ups..keep em comin please!!

any solutions for the camber wear, that your thinking about?...

I think you need to get camber bolts for the front of the car from Precision Motoring.

my friend/tuner told me such bolts may help but it's not certain. he went on further to tell me that I could simply perform tire flips every 3-4K miles to reduce the amount of irregular wear.

any links or contact info for Precision Motoring?

Chris 615-750-3892

I have called 3 times to place an order but they don't pick up the phone

I was just able to speak to Chris and I placed my order.

he's running to the machine shop to get a few more camber bolts made, looks like he's a little backed up. I think he said he was sending 16 bolts to the shop now.

i told him a few members here have been trying to reach him just as I have.

he said if he can't make it to the phone please leave a message with a number and as soon as he gets a chance he will call you back.

I was able to place my order & pay over the phone, which was a + for me.

I'm not sure but Chris (Precision Motoring) is from TN, I just don't know the city

I should have all the info as soon as the package comes in.

I'll also take some pics of the bolts

whats up with these bolts? are they not offered on the market? custom made?...

infiniti_lineup wrote:Good to hear. Quick question - is Precision Motoring the guys in Hermitage, TN?

Yes.

UPS just drop these of. They are the camber bolts from Chris for the M35/ M45.

Hey How do you guys think 20" Konig Afterburners (black) would look on an 06 M?

not my style, i see those rims on more of a faster car or smaller car not the M.

I think the Konig Afterburners wheels are too much of a tunner wheel for the big body M's

but if you like it go for it, post pics when you get them.

Yea im not so sure now either... there are sooo many options out there
btw Happy Thanksgiving to all

Hey...do you mind re-editing your post following the organization/description from the first post? It would be greatly appreciated and more helpfull. Thanks!

looks best with the Dropstar DS08 & aero kit, also looks lower.

need better pics

I wrapped my FX 20''x8'' wheels in Goodyear Eagle GT's 245/35/20 and all four of my inner sidewalls are damaged. There is zero rubbing. Zero. I drive like an old lady here in Chicago because of all of the pot holes and somehow all four tires are jacked up. I just noticed it the other day. I'm gonna head out to Justires where I purchased them and had them installed January of 2010 to see if they can replace them. This cannot be normal. Only the inner sidewall on these tires has any damage.

any update on your tires?

Hey i (along with all of you) lol am looking at rims and cant decide.
i would like to know what people think about multi-spoke (>7) vs. five spoke

IMO i want the Vossen VVSCV-1 (black machined 20')...... but i dont have $2500 just for rims

if you like practicality and decent prices, stick to stock. trust me. ive been through 22's, 20's, and two sets of 18's. correction, 3 sets of 18's.

ebay # 180542241847

ah i did not see those, not too sure about buying rims on ebay/craigslist cause this would be the first set i ever buy.
and i did not notice the stagared setup... (m35x)
as for the stock... i rly like the 2011 M56 20' but i have not found them on the internet yet...

Man I need to hang out in this forum more often. Here's the 2 wheel setups I've fun so far.


Car Model: 2006 M45S

Wheel Brand/Dimensions: Junction Produce Heritage III
>> FRONT: 20x9, +25mm offset
>> REAR: 20x10.5, +20mm offset

Tire Brand/Dimensions: Dunlop Sport Maxx
>> FRONT: 245/30/20
>> REAR: 245/35/20

Suspension: Universal Air Suspension over stock struts.

Other Information: To sit flush in the front I ran a 15mm spacer in the front. And Rears fit perfect. Pulled the fender maybe 2mm to tuck. Both front and rear wheels were S. lo disk.








Wheel Brand/Dimensions: Work Varianza DS3
>> FRONT: 20x9.5, -16mm offset
>> REAR: 20x10.5, -6mm offset

Tire Brand/Dimensions: Falken FK452
>> FRONT: 235/35/20
>> REAR: 245/35/20

Suspension: Universal Air Suspension over Megan Coilovers

Other Information: The fronts fit absolutely perfect. Rears definitely needed body work to fit. Both front and rear wheels were normal disk.

Test fit of new wheels



Body Work



End Result






New Wheels are going to be a tad more aggressive

man I love those fenders.

2nd set of wheels make the car look classy.

Love the work you have done my friend car looks real good!!
