haha okay cool man thanks. I just found some OEM 19" Rays and I am picking them up tommorow, I am paying $725 for them with tires so I am getting a pretty good deal. I am gonna paint them black and put either a red or white lip around it, what do you guys think?

I have not seen that color combo on a white coupe, so idk how it would look. I say get the wheels/ with spacers, and drop your car.

Man id suggest you do a little searching up in the search bar up there^^. And wait until you actually get the car first!

Springs are cheap.. $250 average
coilovers are more expensive but have better assets to them- $500-$2000

Not to get off topic but your really helpful man, are theese springs good to lower my car? I don't want to buy anything without consulting with someone with more knowledge than mysefl first.

Those rims look like they have different finishes on them. And its saying the front tires are for 18's and the rears are for 19's. Maybe he has a mixmatched set of coup 19's and sedan 18's. Try and find some in the marketplace section on this forum.

And springs are fine. Difference springs lower different heights. coilovers are adjustable and you can raise/lower your ride.

There's no way I'd buy these rims, that's a mismatched/bastard pair not worth half the asking price. Once you get your G35 watch our MARKETPLACE for a nice set of 19" '06 Coupe wheels. Don't be in such a big hurry to paint your wheels crazy colors or do anything until you've done some research. Checkout our Gallery or look at members Garages, attend meets so you can see what looks best....don't be afraid to ask questions!

The guy claims they are in "mint" condition, yet I can spot a dozen chips and scrapes. I would say no. Unless he drops the price, of course =)

You can definitely tell that the fronts are Sedan 18s, they don't even have the "Forged" stamp on them that Rays puts on the 19s, and the tires are just wayyyyy too meaty for a 19 inch rim. I gotta agree with everyone else about holding out for a set from the market place.

On a different note, I have an IP coupe as well, and your list of mods sounds pretty cool, but hold out till you have the car and see a few other IP coupes, you don't want to end up looking like everyone and their grandmother who drives an IP. Happy modding! IP FTMFW!

I can see all the curbage. They aren't hard to miss unless you are looking at the pics on your phone.
