Hey everyone, I know this is not the post, but I would like you guys to pass the word around I need a plenum OEM top. I need plenum cover, because when I was installing the MD spacer it got a crack. Please forward this anyone, thanks guys. My email address is oneal.mistry@gmail.com... Thanks guys.
Here are a couple of pics I found of my G stock. I'm just trying to give you some perspective. I know I had second thoughts after I picked it up 
but it's all good now. If the new silver is lighter than mine, then you're good.

If they were the hyper silver like the coupe's 19" or if the wheel design was like the M wheels, it will be a different story. JMHO.
and we'll see how it looks. Now who do I know with 19" M sport wheels. That is what I would really like. I wonder who

.Actually I think the Platinum Ice is lighter than the Brilliant Silver.
I always appreciate your opnion Chico, thanks
.On a side note, I did notice the fenders on the new G appear to be rolled somewhat as you noticed on your viewing the other night.

Does anyone think that if I put the coupe's 19 inch wheels on the new sedan, would it look like its on stilts?
Would I have to lower the car a bit to make it look ok? My dealer said that he would swap out the wheels for me if I wished and he would charge me only the difference in cost of the wheels.
Should I do it?

OK, this is what I came up with...
Stock 18" wheels
OD (front) = 26.86" Tire size = 225/50/R18
OD (rear) = 26.68" Tire size = 245/45/R18
Stock 19" Coupe wheels:
OD (front) = 26.08" Tire size = 225/40/R19
OD (rear) = 26.72" Tire size = 245/40/R19
So if my numbers are right, the front wheels will look like its on stilts unless I got to a larger tire width. Or should I go with one of these setups for the fronts.
235/45/R19 = OD of 27.32
225/45/R19 = OD of 26.98 ***
*** I think this one will be the best looking though...
But will this setup work? Will it fit the front? Will I have issues with this setup?

Hey would you be able to have your mechanic throw on a set of Coupe 19's on an '07?
I would really like to see if I want to go through with this. A nice side profile pic of the whole car showing the wheel gaps of front and back would be nice.

I was going to put my 05 Sedan 18" sport wheels on my 07G35X. I was curious how they would look. I was thinking of installing 245/45R18 tires on them front and back.
Look forward to pics of that.
