I believe that was Andre's car before his other mods. I've since taken those rims and now let them R.I.P. (accident 2/2007).

The ones in the pictures are... were color matched to the DG (actually the color came out lighter than expected but it still matched well with the DG. My car is liquid platinum, and it still matched well). His offset was very aggressive. Almost 5" lip in rear (which with stretched rubber is fine but with beefier tires, you need to roll or cut your fenders).

In any case, these rims were IMO, on of the best looking rims for the coupe. You have to see it on the car to fully appreciate it. I'm even looking into getting a new set of those in machined finish to replace the ones I had. That's how much I like them. But I will probably go direct to DPE (they are only minutes from my work) if i do go that route.

I've checked out the pricing from wheels direct and they are very cheap. Probably one of the cheapest I've found for these rims. At least from what I can see without asking them for a quote.

Can you post up the pricing from there for 9.5x20 and 10.5x20's (that is size of the rims pictured) or PM them to me if you have 'em?

By the way, if you want those exact rims pictured on the DPE site, I have will sell them to you. But one front rim is damaged severely (outer hoop, face is still good), one rear rim has moderate dent to lip, one front rim has moderate scratches on lip, one rear in near perfect condition (with tires: 80-90% tread left 285/20's Nitto555). With TPMS already installed in all four. Make me an offer.

Otherwise, I'm making coffee tables out the them.

i want to see the pictures of the actual rims, to see if the bad one can be repair, but i prefer you to ask for the price - i love those rims - I hate Volks - lol - and i want to make a deal with you. Where are the rims?

Btw i agree , those are the best loking rims in a G35 ( searching for the right ones about a year )

the polished R20's are friggin hot! I love those wheels on a coupe. I know polished wheels aren't too popular on this site but those look so classy looking imo. I just hate Volk also like the time attack wheel Te37 i think. I just think they look like drag rims or something.

Really? I think volks are 50/50. Most of them, including time attacks, just look cheap to me no matter how good the quality actually is; however, the GT-S and GT-C rims are some of my favorite styles produced. Soo classy looking compared to most others!

The R20's are nice. Although like you've said, I fall in that crowd that isn't too fond of high polish. I do like them on certain wheels on certain cars... just not my personal taste. They also look killer in their Titanium Asphalt color. On the fence about black color faces, but these are nice.

As far as volks, I like them but they are too common.

DPE came out with a new signature series a while back. S10 looks nice as well as the s20's (just like the R20's but 3pcs).

Here are the sad pictures... the driver side rims are fine. Got pushed up onto the T-bar (I think it's called) or retaining wall on the freeway.

Driver side: Front (easily fixed with polish and buffing (or what ever they do).
Driver side: Rear (no damage. but will want to polish again).
Passenger side: Front (outter hoop is beyond repair, face is still good)
Passenger side: Rear (Dent on lip. Possibly repairable. Tire got pinched and has a hole on the side wall.)

R07's are hottt!

I'm a little embarrassed for DPE, however . . . you'd think somebody there would know the correct spelling of 'Infiniti".
