yeah yours would stand out a lot more with its oem wheels and eyelids

 

Both you guys post pics now so we can judge

 

i already did, in this thread and a few others

again, if you can't find it, take a computer literacy class or something

 

mine doesn't stand out, at least not at night. It disappears cuz it's all black

 

Holy sweet baby jesus G3LU5 is a special person

 

Lets close this thread an get G3LU5 back on his bus.

 

did you powdercoat the wheels or just normal paint?

 

^ oem obsidian black paint. same as the car body done by the shop

 

 

nice

u should upgrade your brakes, if for no other reason to fill out the wheels better, the 05+ upgrade is pretty affordable, probably get less dust on your painted wheels too. or you could get some brembosand be balla

 

i hate the stock calipers, the black always looks dusty and dull compared to the wheels. i want g37S coupe brakes front and back with drilled and slotted rotors only $1100 from riverside infiniti but they don't come with the brackets needed to do the swap and i hear they're very hard to find and very expensive like $500+ for just the brackets. If it was $1100 with everything included i'd save up and get them. i got alot of things to do before thinking of a BBk though. For now i'll just get new rotors and pads, drilled/slotted off course. I also considered getting the rotors from racingbrake they're big rotors for stock calipers. That'll fill out the wheels alright but they're not cheap and might look silly with puny calipers

 

yeah the akebonos are a rip off

id go with blanks or just slotted, drilled rotors are bad news

 

meh i had drilled/slotted on my old car and i didn't have any issues. hopefully by next summer i'll have bbk at least in the front

 

The Akebono is still a great deal when you consider the amount of people here trying to sell their 7 year old Brembos with 60k miles on them for $1500.

 

the brackets are really hard to find though. Not even riverside infiniti has them. I heard you can only get them from japan or something
