Noobie Questions where to buy?

Hi there I'm new here.

Just purchased a pre owned 05 AT5 sports. Will be picking up on Wednesday.

First thing I need to do is get winter wheels/tires. I read a post here on it. Any additional recos would be appreciated. I was looking at Pirelli 210 Snow Sport on Eagle Alloys for $800.. Is that a good price? It has 2 winters on it. Im looking for a set for around $600. what are my options?

Next minor mod would be clear signal lenses/lights. Any suggestions where to get these? How much?

Next would probably be light bulbs. What do you guys recommend? I was hoping to get the 06 for the projectors but the ones i've seen were not very clean.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

DOUS

Welcome to the site and enjoy your new G

You can get clear corners at Oakville Infiniti for around $50 for the Coupe and a bit less for the sedan, they usually have them in stock and have the best prices locally that I have seen. Give them a call.

I would put winter tires on your OEM rims and buy some nice aftermarket rims for summer however this is an expensive route. Anything you would ever need for your G can be found in the vendors market place. Welcome to the site.

^I agree
OR sell your OEM and buy the Eagle Alloys for $800, when I bought my eagle Alloys they also came with Pirelli 210 Snow Sport they were almost worn out but got me through the winter...and buy aftermarket for the summer

Hi All. Thanks for the warm welcome!

I kinda like the 19" Rays that come with the car. Perhaps when there's more money I'll buy aftermarket. But for now, is the Eagle Alloys with Pirelli 210 Snowsport a good buy for $750? Here are the details:

---from ad---
Rims are EAGLE Alloy 5 spoke.
Tires are Pirelli 210 Snow Sport.
Set up is staggered as you know 225/50/17 and 235 50/17
Used for two winters only on a 2005 G35 COUPE, probably 2,000 km on them. Very good condition.

Seems like a decent deal, but everything's negotiable!

Welcome to the site and congrats on the car.

Sounds decent on the tires. That's low miles. I would verify with a depth gauge.

OK guys here are things I'm thinking of buying first but have no clue where to get them in the Toronto area:

1. winter wheels/tires
2. winter mats/all season mats (I use weathertech liners on my other cars but somehow the ones for G35 doesnt look like a good fit. What do you guys use?
3. clear corner lenses (Riverside Infiniti is out of the bump versions)

I'm sure there are more to come but these are the priority

Thanks!
