Pull them off. The car looks so much better with them gone. It took me an hour. Heat em up, pull them off, goo gone and compound. Definitely worth the time

Not as big a Z/G turnout as compared to May, but tons of exotics this time around... The 458 Italia was worth the trip 10 times over.

I am looking to fix up my 19'' Rays on my newly purchased G. The dealership did a horrendous job trying to refinish them and did not even sand or remove the previous finish so the new finish is beginning to peel off!! Does anyone know of a place in the twin cities that does a quality job with wheel repair and finish? I am looking to just have the front two wheels repaired and obviously want them to match the color and finish on the rear

Hey guys, its been awhile. The G has been asleep for a long time. But anyhow, anticipating driving it a bit this winter. Any of u have experience with Goodyear eagle gt in the snow? I know our cars aren't made for a lot of snow but I need something to get by when me and the wife have conflicting schedules.

I'll tell you right now, you're not gonna want to go any less than a good to very good winter/snow tire if you plan on driving the G. Don't even think about all seasons...

peng's right. my girl drives her g coupe in the winter, and even with her yokohama w drives, she still gets stuck every once in a while in the snow. you'll really have to watch the snow levels on the road! if they're too close to the level of your car, you'll get stuck!
