Just bought a 2003 Grey G35

49k miles
I picked it up for 22k in Hawaii, Its a good deal out here.
Im going to put wheels first, prob some nice volks or works.
Do you really need a drop with this vehicle?
I was lookin at my G and it doesnt have much wheel gap at all!

Nice to meet you all, my name is mike!

If you go with 19's a drop would def change the look and stance of the car, making it look a lot more aggressive. If you get 20's, depending on what type you get It really won't look that high. My friend has 20's on his G and between the front tire and the fender you can barley get one finger in between and the back is hardly 2 finders and he has no drop.

Im looking at 18's or 19's not 20's.
I also love gold/bronze wheels but i just dont know if it works on grey.
Any ideas on color guys? Im not big on black wheels

Wheels: no idea, don't believe in expensive rims. However, I can tell you the drop will make the car handle much better and look more aggressive. Since you bought the car used, the previous owner may have already installed aftermarket or 350Z springs. Easy test: if you can only fit 2 fingers between the tire and wheel well at the top of the tire, chances are it's lowered. I have Eibach Prokit springs on mine and I love 'em (stock 17s of course).

go with the springs, i will be doing that after winter. Look at your car next to a vette and you will realize how high off the ground it is
