I really like the last one but it is quite a bit more money. I am thinking about settling for the first one for the price and I do like them. The second is an option but Im not great on them.Thanks allDimitri

What are you driving?

Truth be told, I don't like any of them but then again I'm not into those types of wheels.

Righteous!!! I drive a blk/blk 03 M45 and I'm feeling #2 staggered. I may even go for that.

Post pics if you do get them, I like those rims but I cant picture them on an M

An important thing to watch out for: Wheels designed for Lexus/Toyota do not fit Nissan/Infiniti. Yeah, the bolt pattern may be right, but the hub bore is wrong (too small at 60.06mm, where Nissan uses 66.06mm). We have some more information in our Wheels and Tire forum stickies.

There are some wheel vendors who sell multiple models (with the correct hub bore) to get a fit ... you just have to be careful to get the right wheel!

All heavy and weak poseur bling brands.

Look for some NISMO, Volk Racing, Work, OZ or BBS. Avoid the Iron Maiden look, and certainly the 20" and up caster wheels.

Even OZ wheels that are cast are pretty heavy... Except the ones you got, still good quality though...

Anyway, some 18 or 19in NISMO wheels would look GREAT on an M45!

Ugliest smallest lighest vs strength that will fit the rotors, that way they won't be stolen and saves lots of money for QUALITY tires and maintenance. Important to test every used wheel [and most brand new ones] to make sure they meet oem axial/radial runout. Most used wheels are sold because they don't and buyers don't understand testing proceedure.

Dont like any of them, but if I had to pick, I would go with option#1

Dimitri:

Take a look at these... I'm considering them for my 03 diamond graphite....

I would definitely get the black w/ the polished lip over the chrome... keep in mind that price is with tires...

Yeah I saw those too but not too big on the design. Im actually going to wait until next year when Im going to need tires anyway and get a set of 3 piece wheels, pricey but well worth it I think.

I have a set of Work Euroline SL's for sale.

20x8.5 20x9.5 with Falken ST115's. Perfect fit on the 1G M's.

Email me for details.

first one but then there is mine. also suggest alum. chrome to heavy lose performance

Post by **jamestgk** » Sat May 13, 2006 1:09 pm

oh yeah they are 20 inch by 9 40 mm offset 245 35 frt 255 35 rear. waiting for 1 inch drop all aound. rims are a personality the less rim material the sportier the car i.e. thin 5 spoke-g35. a Q, M, or F needs more meat in the center with enough to show the painted calipers. but, more meat is heavier so you go alum. these are 14lbs. BIG PS here.... dont forget about the tpms sensors. nissan uses schrader-bridgeport. the valve sticks straight out. buy a spare and check it on the rim before purchase.

Indeed very nice! Sorta like the stock look, without going overboard.

Tires, with the right load index, must be expensive, though!
