New Shoes

Finally got some new wheels, to replace my Z track wheels, that my father curbed. Decided I wanted something a little different. I have always wanted a set of BBS, since I saw them on a Porsche, in the early eighties. So I, ended up getting a set of BBS CH, in 18x8 all around running 235-45-18s. I like the final look.

Hopefully, I will make a decision on a coil over suspension by this fall. Current shocks and struts and OK., so I am in no rush. Don't want to destroy the ride, just for looks.

awesome wheels, bbs makes beautiful wheels and you hardly ever see them on g35s but you for sure need to drop it to make the fitment look right

Very nice wheels! How do you like the Kumho Ecsta SPTs? I am considering the same tire size for my coupe 18's. TIA.

I have been pretty happy with the Kumhos, I had them on my track wheels for about a year. They seem to be holding up pretty well, and are definitely sticky. I didn't realize how how sticky until I went back to teh Michelin 17 inch all seasons fo a couple of weks. The Kumhos are a little louder than teh MIchelins, but most performance tires are. Kumho has an all season performance version out now as well.
