1991 Chevy Tracker from 94 until 2001 (inherited from my mother). Drove this car into the ground. Great little s-box that could take abuse and keep running. Bottom finally rusted out as did the gas tank (we were taking it to be looked at when a car next to us informed us of the rooster tail of gas behind us...we realized the car's time had come). Sad to see it go

New 2001 PT Cruiser, first new car out of college. Loved it, but I needed something quicker and that wasn't a poster car for women and old men...

New 2007 G35 Coupe - current ride. The only things I'd improve have been addressed with the G37 so I have that to look forward to.

Chromies? Thought they were called rims... But anyways Homies stole my car If you must know. I thought my I30 looked pretty damn good to say it was a 99 with only 60k miles on it. But to hell with the homies who got my car I upgraded!

currently have

05 tahoe lt (wife's car)65 Impala convertible 327 w/ powerglide, ac, decent driver (summer car)08 g35X nav, prem

The only ones I miss are the nova and the toyota pu. I put a lot into the toyota. owned it from age 19 to 23. those were some good times!!

Will keep the impala and the G for the long haul so my list probably wont move much in the near future.

Sorry. Having come from the Max/I30 side, I like my A32s to look a little bit more refined or slightly sporty. Not bling. Just personal preference. I think that 80% of the cars that currently have chrome on them, shouldn't. Most people don't know how to pick out rims for their cars.

Here's mine:

Your wheels look good like the design myself but they're just to small...Now I plan on puttin Zennitti 5's in a 20'' on my car now but with a brushed alloy finish with a chrome lip. I feel like the G would look better with a alloy finish oppose to chrome. So yes you are right about chrome on some cars!!

I personally don't think the A32 looks good with anything larger than 18s. Plus you run into rubbing issues. I wish I spaced my Motegis (on the I30) so they were more flush.

How much are those zennettis? The AME are like $2400 just rims

What size tire did you have on there to have rubbing issues? The tire in that pic was a 245/35/20. Retail on the Zenettis are about: Price Ea:18x8.5 $265.0019x8 (Add $40.00)19x9.5 (Add $75.00)20x8.5 (Add $75.00)20x10 (Add $195.00)

But it depends where you get them from and if you do chrome or silver. Thats not my price because I work at a shop called Delta World Tire http://www.deltaworldtire.com and I get wholesale on wheels and tires. So If you need something I can get let me know. Mostly stuff off of tire rack for wholesale pricing!!!

I had 17x7 with a 225/45/17 and it left the plastic wheel well worn wear it rubbed.

PM me a price for those AME Shallen CX 18x8.5 and 18x9 if you can get them.

I traded in 06 Evo 9 for my 08 G35S, and never looked back.

I have owned;

87 Hoonda Accord92 Nissan 240SX(S13)79 Datsun 280ZX(S130)91 Mazda RX-7(FC3S)92 Nissan Skyline GTS-t(R32)00 Nissan Silvia(S15)04 Subaru Legacy B4 3.0R00 Chevrolet Corvette(C5)06 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 9

My current G35 6MT is a perfect accord of performance and comfort.So I'd give 9 out of 10. If it had more torque, I'd give a ten.

My best car so far is Corvette. It wasn't practical for me, so I let it gobut I would like to get it some day. It handled much better than I thoughtand it was just so much fun to drive.
