Debating the Stillen vs Z1 performance vs OEM Z tube. Will check out the Amsoil drop in filter. BTW, the wheels had G37 TPMS already installed and so far no lights. Should I be surprised that they were compatible?

Again, great site, I'm on it all the time

Wow, that looks awesome! I think the G37 rims are a perfect update for our Gs. I'm gonna look into them when mine is due for tires.

I'm definitely looking at these when I'm ready to do wheels. I think it makes our older gen G's look much more up-to-date.

I think I may have seen his thread, but let me know who it is for sure. Why don't you post pics of your silver ride with those wheels on? Mine's silver as well and I'm curious how it looks - your avatar is a bit small. I have a G/Z drop and I wonder if I'd have any rubbing issues. Thanks in advance!

This pic is a few weeks old I have since changed the front tire to a 45 instead of the 40 series tire on it in the pic.
I am riding on revised Z drop with no rubbing issues with the stock 37 size tires. I am actually going to roll the rear fender and add spacers front and rear.
I plan on 15mm front and 10mm rear and lower it another inch after I install my Nismo kit.

I'd re-do them in the OEM finish. Looks cleaner.
