Default New wheels going on this week!! Opinions?

I took my infiniti rims that have been sitting in my carport for a couple of years and had them powder coated black...I was going to sell them but they turned out so freaking gorgeous that I just dropped them off at Firestone to have them put on my tC. Pics after install coming soon!

Update: So it turns out that the lug nuts from the tC were incompatible with these rims. I had to order some shank lug nuts and they should be in by Wednesday. I am so excited, and can't wait to see what they look like on the car. What do you guys think?

Haha yeah those tires are looking pretty rough in that picture. That was right when pollen season started and the roads were all yellow. I tire shine them every time the car is washed.

Also, I wanted to ask you, that carbon fiber hood that you have put on your car, does that align perfectly or can you see little bit of gap here and there? In the pics it looks perfectly aligned.

The alignment is almost perfect. The gap on the left side is slightly bigger than the gap on the right side but that could be fixed if I unbolted it and shifted it a little bit.

Well, no such luck. I'm selling the wheels. They can only fit on a car with 12x1.25 thread pattern on the studs, because the rims are only compatible with OEM spec G37 lug nuts. Kind of a bummer, but I'm just going to have my factory rims powder coated instead.

too bad....

You can't find a pair of aftermarket lugnuts that would fit in a 12x1.25 thread?
