Just bought my g!

Just bought a 2007 G35 Sport Sedan 6MT in Obsidian Black, fully loaded, premium package, sport package, navigation package, tech package.

They're putting on new tires and giving her a full detail, I'm picking it up Wednesday. Here's a pic:



I'm so excited I can't hardly contain myself. Let me know what you guys think!

well ****, somehow I overlooked that. Apparently they're aftermarket wheels, I thought they were just different stock wheels. I'm a little bit pissed off that I didn't notice that and that it wasn't brought to my attention. What do you think, do they look good? Is it a big deal not having the stock wheels?

Congrats, awesome car but it's odd that you have 2003 17's sport package wheels on 2nd gen sedan. Do they have winter tires on them or something?

well ****, I didn't even notice, but those aren't stock wheels, I thought they were just smaller stock ones, but they're clearly aftermarket. What do you guys think of them? I'm a little angry that I didn't notice this and it wasn't brought to my attention. Is it a big deal not having the stock wheels? would this void any factory warranties or anything?

do you? are you SURE they're those? If so I'd be happy that they're at least Infiniti wheels, could you post a pic of yours?

It's 100% 03 17's sport package wheels when you pick the car up look at the center caps it should be infiniti.

they must be, because I'm SURE I would have noticed if they didn't have infiniti centercaps. I wonder why they would be the '03 wheels, I actually like them more than the stock '07 wheels, I'm not fond of ten-thousand spokes personally, I'll check it out when I pick it up I suppose. Either way though, I like them, I just hope that if they're not factory wheels, that they're not crappy wheels.

ya I know, and I guess i'm sort of a little angry that it doesn't have the 18's, but in all honesty, I wasn't very fond of the 18's, I just don't like that many spokes, but maybe that's just because I don't have them...

COngrats on the new Ride! But those 03 17 Inch rims just don't look right! it's smaller and skinner width rims and tires than the 07 18's which have a staggered set-up! And with those 17's on it looks like the tires are too small and it sits inside the wheelwells, which just looks off. and it may thow your speedo readings off! I would tell the dealer you want the OEM 18's the car supposed to come with! But if your happy. then thats what matters.

well it's a little late for that, I already signed everything and paid:0( It's not an Infiniti dealer anyways, it's a place called Auction Direct. I like it though.
