Not normally my taste at all, but these really appeal to me for some reason. Great looking sedan!

How is the rear camber? I can't really tell from your shots.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

When they first put on the wheels they were tilted in, severe negative camber. I brought it back to Status after a day to have their buddies do a laser alignment where they corrected the negative camber and the wheels are straight up and down.

You can kind of see the negative camber here at Status: www.curtiscjones.com/g35web

I was actually looking at the Maya RT5's first, but then I saw the old BMW 5 series wheel design like these and decided it might look good on a G35 sedan too:

I'm really glad I went with 20" instead of 19" because the sedan wheel well is HUGE... they almost look like 19"s because the wheel well is so big. The coupes don't have this problem as much.

I'm not answering for him, but I put aftermarket 19's on my car this past summer for the first time and was a little worried by this, but I still got average of 22 MPG (80% hwy). Not that bad....in fact, I don't even know how much I even lost. Obviously 10"x20" rims may be a bit worse....

Looks good but I would have ever let them touch my fenders, should have rolled them. The car looks awesome though! Get a front lip it will really finish it off nicely.

I posted a while back and said I was not a fan. Well I have changed my mind.

What did you pay for those? They may be my next wheel choice.

Your drop is lower than mines was and you just put the springs on! The car looks great!
