Thumbs up TPR Mag G35 - Axis Penta Wheels/Hankook Tire Installed

Hey Guys - We are going to have a Project G35 in our publication, TPR Magazine [www.tprmag.com] ... look for it coming up in our next few issues. We will have dyno results for the performance parts we will be testing and general information about the other parts that are being installed on the car...

Here is a pic of the car after installing Axis Penta 20" wheels, Hankook Tires and Form/Function coilovers.. thanks to Speed Element in Fremont!

Front = 20x9 w/ 245/35/20 | Rear = 20x10 w/ 285/30/20



*sorry for the crappy pic, will post better ones soon*


Coming soon //
KurumaZ Front Bumper
Rear Spoiler/Diffuser

what's the point of performance testing if you're going to put heavy wheels on the car??

The wheels are to make the car look better than stock... no one wants to see a stock looking G in a magazine - for testing we will use a lighter wheel...

The Hankook tires have been great so far.. they are good both in the wet and dry...

we will keep you all updated on the progress.. thanks!

yeah ill get a 255 in the front next time

and most G owners have big wheels that are somewhat heavy... so it would relate to a lot of people...

sure but there are plenty of aftermarket 19's that are lighter than stock wheels and don't have a stock look... forged volks for example?

we look to advertisers first to outfit our project cars...

i would love to have volks on the car and will have some in the future... our goal is an average street tuned G35 that most of our readers can relate with..

the racecars are going to be built in the near future
