They look better than stock wheels but even better with a drop. You can get by without a drop if you have an G35S, the rear sits nice and the front has some wheel gap which might be acceptable depending on your taste (looks like Kube929 is an S). I think non-S might require a drop.

I wouldnt pay $1700 for a set, thats too much.

 

Yup, mines an S. No drop yet, but I'm thinking about it.

 

I'm running M45's on my S and I have been contemplating a drop too. Love the way it looks but less front fender gap would be nice. Thought about just doing a slight drop on the front but that probably wouldnt turn out right.

 

Kube, what size tires are those? I've spent an hour or so on the thread "calling all x's with a lowered suspension" and to make a long story short I will not be lowering. I"m looking for some 19's to ride on stock suspension and want to reduce the amount of fender gap, I like the way yours looks.
