Hey everybody!

I am awaiting a 2006 Coupe from Lokey Infiniti in Clearwater, FL. I wanted to hold out for the '06 for the Bluetooth and such. I want a DG with premium and sport packages.

This is the first car I have had that I cared to buy aftermarket wheels. I think a set of wheels with black/graphite spokes and chrome/polished rims would look great. I am not interested in going over 19" or lowering or changing the suspension.

I am considering having the dealer put the wheels on before I take delivery, but I am guessing this is probably expensive. Lokey will put on Racing Hart wheels, which I like, but I have a few questions...

Can I use the stock tires with a set of Racing Hart R5 type 19" wheels? Will the dealer usually give you any credit for taking the stock wheels? Is there any market for stock wheels if I wanted to sell them myself to help recoup some costs?

Also, does the low pressure warning sensor require any specific type of wheel designed for the G, or does it not matter?

I am going to ask the dealer for a quote on these wheels, but wanted to have some idea what I am doing. Any suggestions for lower priced alternatives?

Thanks for any info.

 

Hello? Is this thing on? (tap, tap, tap)

 

Assuming you have a similar 19" setup like most aftermarket you'll want to get wider tires. You could sell your stock wheels online.

 

The cool thing about Lokey is that in some (not sure if it's a common practice) cases they will add your mods installed by them to the amount you're financing, which is totally awesome. I bought my car from Lokey too btw, their professionalism and customer service are unsurpassed!

Do yourself a favor and sell your stock wheels if you need to, but just don't use your narrow stock 245's on the new 9+ inch wide wheel. The G needs at least 275's to give it a wider stance that will look good. Not sure how Lokey's prices compare to what other vendors have to offer, they do give great discounts to Florida G35 Club members, you might want to take a closer look at the vendor forums.

 

You could put the rear tires on the front of your new wheels and then just buy a set of rear tires.

 

Thanks, guys. Appreciate it.

 

Ouch. Just got a message from my salesman -- $4,300!

 

What kind of tires does that include? Don't forget you can get $1000-$1800 for your stock wheels if they're brand new. For more feedback on Lokey Infiniti, check out this forum... Florida G35 Club Forum here on driver.
