G37 coupe 18s on sedan

Got a good deal on some take offs. Much better than the stock 17s. In my wheel searches on here, I know some people were asking what these would look like on the first gen sedan. Not sure if any pics got posted so here are a few.

Edit: I have added a post below with updated pictures after lowering on z / coupe springs

I like those wheels on your sedan. I think they are clean looking, and yes they are much better than the stock 17's.. you should difinately lower your car now.

I paid $1050 plus shipping of $199. No tax. Less than 100 miles on the tires.

I lowered on z springs up front and coupe in the rear. I like this setup. The gap is gone. The larger tires help on rough roads. The car is only ~3/8 inch lower than stock so I don't have to worry about scraping on anything.

Very nice.

Color-match all the black plastic and it'll look even lower.

Thanks!

I am torn on painting the lower plastic. In pictures it looks like a no brainer to paint the lower plastic, but in person I like the way the car looks with the plastic.

Trust me man... if you paint the lowers... you will never look back and say wow why didn't I do this sooner. I was about to paint my lowers but opted to just go all out and get the aero/nismo kit. But painting lowers is a must... Do it

My 03 BS with Aero

love the wheels, been lookin' for a set for my Wife's G. As for painting the lowers, i say leave it alone. just wait till you get a kit. painting 'em would be a waste and looks kinda cheap IMO

+1 to that man. If you plan on gettin the aero kit... don't paint them and save up. If you dont, then get them painted
