i think i've only seen one other g35 with the 278 wheels, and it was a coupe. Either way, these rims IMO look awesome, very similar to the mercedes benz amg rims or even resembling the infiniti M wheels, but i'm sure quite a ways cheaper. Mine are in Hyper Black, 19x8.5.

Your car is the reason I'm looking at these rims, also in hyper black .

Wise choice. i've gotten plenty of compliments. I thought of laying down more $$ for similar style rims, but HRE's or something, but ehh, instead i bought 5 rims, one for spare/backup and still saved money! i highly suggest for tires, go wtih 255/40. I have 245/35R19 and its reallly easy to get curb rash or just cut up ur rims in general form driving over potholes. Or get tires with rim protection. plus 255/40 are closer to oem tire diameter than 245/35.

DAMMIT. There's that car again. I agree - I much prefer this model wheel over the other. To me, the others are too open for the stock brakes. If you had a big brake kit or at least some cross-drilled rotors to look at, okay. Otherwise I prefer the 277s.

Shodog - never mind. You know what I was going to say.

If I may be so nosy, which did you buy, where, and what did they cost you? I'm shopping them right now for my 05 DG Sedan. I'm thinking gunmetal 277s (likely 8.5 all the way around).

I got them from need 4 speed motorsports, probably the same place shodog got his. They are really helpful and have great customer service.

You will find their "informational listings" on ebay if you search for the Ruff wheels of your choice. They are also going to have the best prices because they are like the leading ruff racing wheels dealer, most wheel retailers have never even heard of them.

They are really nice, high quality wheels and the price can't be beat. I paid like 1800 with Direzza D101s and I went with 8.5 in the front 9.5 in the back. They get lots of looks, and needless to say at this poiint I have been more than satisfied.

two things to keep in mind:

1) they have no clear coat, which means be careful when you clean them, use soft non-abrasive cloths or sponges (terry cloth, micro-fiber, etc.) and regular car wash soap & water, no wheel wax or foaming wheel cleanser that stuff is bad for them.

2) you need to watch your tire pressure closely (as is the case with any wheel of this size/spec). If your pressure is lower than 35 you will probably bend the rim.

hope that answers all your questions, I can find the exact figure i paid if i look through my records, but if you call n4s and ask for a quote i'm sure it will be the same.

p.s. when I bought them I contacted 3 or 4 local wheel retailers and had them price the wheels for me. None of them could beat the N4S price, not even Les Schwabb which is a huge chain.

Sorry those are Dunlop Direzza D101's same as shodog's.

These tires kick *** they have a round edge that sits over the lip and gives you some extra curb protection!!!
