That looks nice. A little too low for my tastes, but I'm concerned about all the speed humps in my neighborhood

The wheels look really good on that black G37. I wonder how they'd look on Amethyst Graphite.

Yes, how low it is does make it look alot more aggressive. I'm a fan of the dropped look though.. on this black though these GT-F wheels look extremely nice. as far as the Amethyst Graphite goes i would get a darker color all together ofr you car as the light colors on that look a bit "bland".

Definatly not as smooth as riding on the factory suspention, but a great idea for a money saving Drop to the G37 that is for sure.

yea the offset could be better, or wider wheels maybe 19by 9 and 19 by 10

I have 19 by 9 and 19 by 10 running 245/35/19 and 275/30/19but my offset is wayy off its sticking out about an inch on the rear and half an inch in the front. I have +15 all around. Hopefully a crazy drop and a negative camber will let the wheels tuck in and look sick!! Im still waitin for eibach to drop my car and adjust the camber.

There wasnt any modification that i know of done to the springs, i was told it was a direct replacement. As far as those eibachs go... did they give you an ETA of when there springs would be available??

well ull have to make sure it clears bbksim sure if it clears BBKs it will clear the brakes. Just make sure dont make the same mistake like i did it cleared the bbk, but not the car! haha!! sticks out a but much because the offset was too crazy. hopefully a drop and a camber kit will fix the problem. Tat offset will fit the car, but it will not look as aggressive.

Awesome looking car.

Interesting though that you would post pictures of it in an advertisement for your shop. Especially with your company logo on the picture.

How are you going to put your name on a picture you didnt take. Not to mention it is clearly taken right infront of forged's shop. That is sharifs's car. And to talk about the lowering springs like you actually know what your talking about, c'mon. Who are you kidding. Everyone knows you like to copy other people responses and descriptions just like you do on your site. ex: Read Z1 Performance's page for the Central 20 3.917http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore...=1726

Then look at what Vivid hashttp://www.vividracing.com/cat...20063

Its copied word for word...including the "instal kits" you dont even sell..

As far as the picture goes its just for informational use as nobody has these rims on there car yet and they have some in stock for the G37, what better picture to put than a G37 with GT-F wheels. Not to Bite the picture and say its ours when you can clearly see its infront of a different shop. As far as street chase goes... " How are you going to put your name on a picture you didnt take. Not to mention it is clearly taken right infront of forged's shop." sounds like you have a prior issue with Vivid Racing and I would love to help illiviate any problems you have had. Our product descriptions are just product descriptions and i'm sorry if you have been "offended" but giving people the information they ask for is part of the business.

P.S This being your VERY FIRST post here on NICO why dont you try introducing yourself

It may just be for informational use but you made no effort to even say you got the information and/ or pictures from another location. Thats just common courtesy.

I personally have never dealt with you nor do I want to. Ive heard too many complaints and your unethical business practices are less than satisfactory.

If your going to use someone elses product description thats fine but you could atleast have the decency to site the information or edit it so it doesnt make you look stupid.

This is actually not my first post but because NICO doesnt allow me to post up about something as simple as a car club meet I just stopped posting because they kept deleting my threads. But if you would like an introduction: My name is Chase, I drive a 2006 Infiniti G35.

Just for your information, Using photographs without permission for commercial purposes is a violation of US Copyright laws. Putting your watermark on them is another violation. I do know the owner of these pictures has been made aware of this(not by me though).

I take "a few" pictures from time to time and know something about this.

Just incase you might ask, this isn't my first post here. I have been around here for years and I happen to know Greg personally. Just don't want you to think i just came here to start trouble. I never even heard of your company before now.

You guys are gay.

Hes putting these pictures up for informational purposes only. Nowhere does he claim that this car is his nor does he credit himself for the pictures.

Once a picture is posted on the internet with no copyright signs or disclaimers it is free for public use regardless of what you think. Id love to see you make a rediculous statement like your previous posts in court. You would be laughed at.

Get off your ****ing pedestal. Nice G37, it looks so slick.

Really, you should tell that to the production company that put a photo of a woman they got off the internet on the cover of thier video. They just paid out a a six figure settlement for copyright infringment even though the photo had no copyright info on it. Maybe they can get thier money back.

I have actually read the copyright laws regarding photos on the internet. You do not have to claim it is yours, or the subject is yours. All you have to do is use it for commercial purposes and you have violated the law. Stuff on the internet is not immune to copyright laws. The many kids arrested for illegal music downloading can verify that for you.

Well i see this thread has gone COMPLETELY off topic so lets get back to letting the G37 community see/ask questions about rim fitment. I got these pictures from the RIM MANUFACTURER personally, and they know i have these pictures ( which is why they are watermarked ). I'm happy to see you care about the 2 photo's we put up for people to see the way rims look and Fit. Let us worry about the legal parts as we wouldnt post anything illegal. I would ask if anyone has anymore off topic questions please shoot me an email at [email protected] and i would love to help you out.

you are right and wrong paemt. Right about the suit you referenced, wrong about the analogy. I am an attorney and will leave it at that, because if I get into it, it could be considered as being legal advice or creating atty/client relationship...but I can assure you that you are wrong and if you would like to borrow my IP book from law school to learn why...I can certainly send it your way. Alot of what you are saying is dead on, but I can assure you that a little interest and some glancing at statutes and newspapers cannot get you up to speed on IP/copyright/trademark law.
