Well, after having head room issues, I have decided that in a realistic driving position I have no problem. Therefore, a 2004 brilliant silver on graphite m6 coupe with navi will be on it's way shortly. I am really excited about finally owning this beauty, but now I have to make some final decisions. First, as winter is basically here, I need some winter wheels. I am sold on either the blizzaks or pirelli 210's, but I am curious about the infiniti winter rims. Does anyone have any info (available size etc.) or pictures of these? Secondly, I have read the post about US floor mats, and I am wondering if my can dealer order them, or should I buy them myself (how much?). Finally, what are your opinions on the infiniti car cover? Good, bad, worthwhile?
Thanks for all the help. I am glad to be part of the club.
Dan.

 

As far as winter rim's are concerned, you will see two main threads that should give you all you need to know. I just picked up the Pirelli Winter 210's and so far, I like them. I took a nice sweeping corner today as I would have yesterday with my summer tires, and it felt great! Contact Bert at Burlington Tire for a good deal and great service. He can get you rims. Tell him "JP" sent you ...

 

for a 6MT coupe, you have to choose a 17" wheel with the right offset. so far, the only ones we've found available are FRD30 (same as CSA Gladiator) or Quantum somethings.

Dealers in toronto are actually just selling these rims also.

good luck getting your dealer to order you anything not available in canada! even if he is willing, it will cost much less from Grubbs anyway. $75US for the matts I believe.

 

Another nice rim that'll fit over your Brembos are the Enkei 17x7.5 CDR9s. They'd go well as a winter set for the coupe, and are available in Canada for about $250 each.

I just happened to have a pic of my CDR-9's.

For 17" wheels, you can still get BSA 264 (at Yorkville) and Eagle six-spoke (at Wheels Direct), but they are going fast...

 

yah .. those eagle size spoke are nice looking too.

 

I did the FRD 30's with LM-22's, they look great and the tires have amazing grip. I picked up the all-weather rubber mats from the dealer - these are very heavy-duty.

Thanks. Haggis, are the mats you got the same ones in the infiniti mat post? Those look great, and I was hoping to get a set included when I ordered the car.
