I'm happy to say that my new wheels and tires showed up today! I met Dan for lunch over at RZ Motoring in Tampa and had the new wheels and tires installed. The caps didn't make it in yet, but, they'll be here in early April.

I chose these wheels because I liked their looks; they are very light, forged, one-piece construction; and they are designed for the Infiniti OEM tire pressure sensors.

I took a few preliminary pictures this afternoon after I got home. I thought some of you might like to see what the wheels I've been talking about for so long actually look like... so here they are.











Big thanks to Dan and Boosted Concepts for ordering the wheels and tires and making sure everything came through correctly!

I kinda like the simple look without the caps, too. Charles (MRC) said that most people that buy CE28N's don't buy center caps. But I'm pretty sure I'll like them better with the caps.

Yea, I was a bit worried when the front tires weren't there... But they came in and everything was fine from then on.

Thanks again for your help, Dan!

Haha... Thanks, Mark...

I almost put a note in my original post for you to add a "you need a BBK" comment... But you're right... You can see the brakes more clearly with these wheels than the OEM wheels. We'll see...

Thanks!

It's funny, but these wheels changed the look of my G so much I had to kind of get used to them. The "no center cap look" is growing on me, though.

I've been looking at BBK's for quite a while. They're just so darned expensive... but it would sure be a nice addition...

ps: Don't tell Ron, but I've had my eye on the new Rotora 14-piston calipers they just came out with...

pps: I like your new avatar, Ryan!
