So correct me if im wrong i skimmed most of this, but you say aftermarket parts cheapen your car yet you have parts from a 350z on your g35?

 

a. that makes no sense because 350z parts are not aftermarket and b. I never said aftermarket parts cheapen your car, the op did, i love mods personally

 

A member here got a vortech supercharger used for $2500 on his first gen sedan and makes more power than a g37s (333 to the wheels) and the sedan is lighter so that's even more edge.

 

yeah that...lol, but an aftermarket boosted car will never be as reliable as an NA car

 

thats tire racks price and if you're paying full price for tires.. well you gotta meet some new people who can get you better deals.

My arguement is justifying that 18's dont always cost less than 19's

theres always options of choosing another tire brand that offers the same performance, but doesnt have the stand out name brand as others.

you like to use the word "cheap" how are you determine what is "cheap". do you do any type of testing? or just cause it's not a name brand its considered cheap?

I'd suppose when your sick you buy name brand products, cause generic brand names are cheap, and wont do you justice.

forgot to mention... Hankooks v12's are not cheap. many G members run them and speak highly of them. and Remeber even name brand companies do make what you call cheap tires.

 

lol im not gonna sit here and prove to you that I know about tires

tell you what, tell me what you paid for your tires and i will tell you what i can get them for

 

oh ok.. tell me what you paid for your car and I bet I paid less..


come one.. anyone can make up numbers.

 

to end this.. since it's getting no where.

If you want 18"s then get them. I think G's with 18's look good, but require a major drop to pull it off.

 

im not gonna make up numbers, my brother works at a tire shop, ill tell you what i can get them for

im gonna get 18s, im not going to get a major drop because coilovers annoy me and i dont care..lol

unless i find 19s that i really like, or a great deal on coupe 19s otherwise i am thinking aftermarket 18s of some sort...once my tires wear out though..i may not even have the car anymore at that point so we'll see

and tell me what cheap tires do you think are good? I've had kumho ecsta spt's those are decent, hankook rs2s were good tires, falken makes some decent stuff, I mean I agree, price isn't everything and a lot of tires are way overpriced, but im not gonna throw federals, wanli's or calientes on my 19s lol

 

Saying how much u can get them for and posting a link or a picture of the tire with a label with the price on it are 2 differen things. Just saying

 

if the cheap brand name meets my driving style needs, meets within oem specifications, gets good reviews and is within my budget. I would get them.


I've never been much of a brand name person, anyways...

 

i can't post a link to the price my brother can give me...i could log into his tirerack wholesale account and take a screen shot though



i mean he has other channels to get tires, they prefer not to use tirerack I think, but these are $26 cheaper or $104 for all four, since apparently I need to prove that I can get a hook up on tires for some reason...I mean if he had them in stock I might stand to get a better deal but I can't really prove that this easily

 

dont forget shipping

 

if you don't like brand names why did you buy an infiniti instead of say a nissan 370z or a hyundai genesis coupe 3.8

basically what you are telling me is you care how rims look and for the sake of looking good you will just buy generic tires...i mean sure they might be fine, but personally I don't think any of us know enough about tires to beable to tell what company is gonna sell you an unsafe tire that will have imperfections in its rubber and blow out at 90mph, I'd rather spend a little more and have a proven brand, I also wouldn't buy the most expensive tire just because it was expensive, I check out tire reviews and decide based on that, I don't know exactly what else you can do aside from trying them all out

 

really wow thanks, I had no idea I would have to pay shipping to buy tires from the internet(and for god's sake don't respond with "but discounttiredirect has free shipping"..lol)

shipping is about 40 i think, do you have a better price?...not that I really care anyway, I wouldn't buy those tires, I was just asked to prove I had a hook up on tires for some reason
