The Perfect wheels for my DG M35.

Post by **G35Sunfan** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 7:55 am

Guys I just wanted your opinions. Please check this link...I think I've found the perfect wheels for my Diamond Graphite M. They are Foose Nitrous wheels with the grey center. The paint matches the car perfectly and the lip goes along with the grey and chrome door, window and roofline accents. I'm getting a set of 20x8.5 245/35 all the way round with some Pirelli Pzeros. Not only that but they come in a +42 or +34 offset for a more aggressive look I want. Pictures do these wheels no justice...I saw them in person at a Bigboys-Toys wheel shop. Check them out....let me know your thoughts.

I've always been a big fan of BBS wheels.

Here's what it would look like with some .

OK not bad. Where'd you check those out at. Tirerack? They tend to be really easy on their offsets. The sport models apparently can't take the 275 rear like the non sport which sucks since I could've gotten my set-up staggered with w 10 inch rears. Nice 3 inch lip. Any photochop gurus in the house. Need a pic of that DG M with the Foose Nitrous....I guess I'll be able to see for myself soon as they'll be in this Friday.

I actually found this picture of them on a Mustang.

I'm starting to get excited...I think it's going to look great.

Funny, the technical specifications don't say how they are made nor what they weigh. They do seem plenty strong, though.

Offset is a far cry from from the 8.5"x19" Enkei +55mm on the Sport.

Post by **Rex** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 6:56 pm

I cut that pic together myself. Not sure if they offer the right offsets?? But I'm pretty sure a high quality 3 piece wheel should be configfurable to fit your needs.

It's actually a one piece wheel. The offsets for the sport wheels are a +50mm not +55mm. Moving to a +42 offset will probably move the wheels out a half inch. +34 probably a little less than a full inch. The place out in California where I'm getting them said they've placed them on 2 M45s with no problems. The good part is I didn't increase the width of the rim to achice the look I want. Too bad My Maya wheels from my G35Coupe wouldn't fit. I'll post pictures as soon as I can. They look pretty good on that magnum and the Mustang as well and the color matches neither of those vehicles. The grey center and stainless steel lip are really going to bring out the look I want. Fingers crossed...

Just as an aside, everytime I see one piece wheels with fake bolt heads or (even worse) fake rivet heads, I have to ask why? They provide no structural function and only add weight.

It is an immediate sign of cosmetics over engineering. But that is what all these pimp my car shows are about. They cosmetically trick out old beaters without even looking at the ATF or oil.

Personally, I think the stock M sport wheels are *the* perfect wheel for the car.

For the most part I agree....however I like the fact that they are a one piece design...They are less likely to cause some sort of crazy leakage etc. Even you can picture the color and design of the wheels being an attractive add on to a DG M. If I was worried about the weight of the wheels/speed I wouldn't be purchasing them. I also love the 19' sport wheels...I think they look great but this is all about personalization. Wheels and tint is all I do to my vehicles. So the choice was mad...An M35 Sport with all the Bells and whistles or the M45 for the V8....some bells but no whistles. My daughter loves her DVD player...what can I say...It's the trip car. BTW I love those shows...Pimp my ride, When Chip foose adds 20 inchers to an old Chevy on his show. It's great...Doesn't appeal to everybody and can be overkill at times but you've never seen an upset owner after he's been pimped. Just entertainment....

That's funny...I do too....which is why I had to have the sport model.

I've been having a hard time finding some wheels for my M and then I finally decided that I like the wheels on my Z so much that I'm going to go with those.

ROH Modena, except with the center will be the "black ice" color.

Nice Z and wheels. Good choice. Personalization rules.... My first choice was a set of Piaa Super Rozzas but I decided not to drop so much cash on wheels this time around. Please post some pictures once you've got the new shoes.

Your Z wheels remind me of the Ferrari 550/575/SuperAmerica wheels:http://www.carbodydesign.com/v...4.jpg

I like them.

The wheels are finally in. I'll post pics after I put them on later tonight.

Amen brother! The more I look at them, the more I'm impressed that they ARE the right ones. Getting aftermarket wheels will give it a unique look but Infiniti has done a great job on the M sport and G35 coupe upgrade wheels!

if you don't mind different colored wheels and car. The grays are different

Post by **G35Sunfan** » Thu Feb 23, 2006 4:12 pm

To each his own. Personally I think they came out great...as far as the color match it's not perfect but they change with the reflection of the sunlight just like the car. The offset is right on as it pushed the wheels out to the edge of the wheelwell and filled those babies nicely. For those who may get new wheels in the future my set-up is 245/35/20 all around with a +34 offset. For you OEM wheel lovers its all good. But these are PERFECT for MY car...maybe not yours. Ran out of sunlight before I could recharge my camera battery so only got a few pics...enjoy.

Here's a closer look at the wheel....

Post by **szh** » Thu Feb 23, 2006 4:22 pm

How much did the tires run you? What brand/model and load index are they?

Z

Post by **G35Sunfan** » Fri Feb 24, 2006 4:04 am

I got a great deal on the Pzeros....Roughly $250 apiece. Sorry I can't tell you from where but they retail at tirerack for over $300. I got everything including Mcgard wheel locks for $2900. Any comments on the look is welcomed. I'll take the negative along with the positive....

Pirelli PZero System Asimmetrico 245/35ZR20 Blackwall ZR Speed Rated 95Y Load Rating XL Price: $159.00 each Special at Tire Rack.

Still wondering how much each wheel weighs. At least they are strong enough.

What I have are the Pirelli Pzero Nero valued at $312 apiece for 245/35/20. I didn't exactly break out the scales but my back told me they are a little heavier than stock.

don't get me wrong, I love the wheels....I added foose wheels too.....I was looking at this same wheel I have on in the 2 piece and getting the center piece painted to match my car, but was not in the mood to spend an extra $1500-$2000. Here is mine

Post by **maxnix** » Fri Feb 24, 2006 6:57 am

Yeah, too many Pirelli Summer Tire models. Maybe the Rosso are being closed out. Great price if one is in to 20.

How is the ride?

Post by **G35Sunfan** » Fri Feb 24, 2006 7:00 am

Well the best part about choosing the Nitrous with the grey center is that the color is so close . I wanted a five spoke design with a little lip to it and I got everything I wanted with this design. BTW you car looks great. For some reason I've been staying away from chrome wheels on my past 3 vehicles, however on the M chrome is a very good choice.

Tirerack is probably getting ride of them for not selling well. The ride is very near stock but you can feel cracks in the pavement a little better. Cornering was improved and when they're on a nice pavement it rides better than stock because of the heavier feel.
