Ok, I photoshoped these wheels... They're 22x8, I can make them work, I want some feedback on the style, I'm also considering something lightweight... I dunno, let me know what you think - It's not a coupe so it dosn't really need the race look, the chrome looks nice though !Thanks.Grant

Kinda tough to tell as it's not crystal clear... but from what I can see. They look pretty nice!!

I give a thumbs up!

Not a fan of the black-chrome pattern of the spokes.

they look sick

Remember though, you will have a rough ride on 22'sand you will want to lower it a bit (i'd go with coupe shock/z springs or a full 350z susp)

22's might give it that Ghetto Chevy Caprice look. Like a jacked up car. You have a sportscar. You want a VIP/Blingy ride, get an M45. Keep the G35 a sports car. Stick with some 18" lightweight wheels. You'll enjoy the ride more, and it will handle a lot better.

Also, if you upgrade to 22" wheels, you better upgrade to a big brake kit, since your stopping power will go out the window with that much rolling weight.

Just my 2¢

OK thanks everyone! I'm thinking lightweight 19" wheels, I may go black, I may go chrome... But beancooker and SVT hit the nail bang on...

Where I live, you can go through a set of struts / springs every couple years!!! The potholes are phenomenal!22s would be a tad on the big side where I'm from, You won't see 20's on anything less than an SUV here!

I think I would prefer the lightweight set up, I'll post up some new pics and give me some more feedback on the new pics when posted!

Thanks all

ps: They must've looked good to me late last night, I'm looking at them at work here and I'm far less impressed... must be a monitor issue!! lol
