Hey Neal, would you know if you guys have some nice 5 spokes (no lips) coming out in the near future? Preferably 18's in at least 8.5 widths and 35 or less offsets?

I'm a big fan of 5-spokes that go all the way out to the edge (ala Sport Edition KV5's) but it seems these days all the good wheels all have lips and/or are quite heavy.

The closest thing i can find that's decent (if only it was a bright silver) are the Enkei RP03 and the RP05 (but the latter doesn't seem to be available for the G37S).

I know both are available in Bright Silver but actual photos i've seen of RP03 looks more gray, even compared to the RP05 which are also tagged bright silver.

Thanks.

 

This time of the year not a lot new comes to current company line-ups. Once SEMA ends and the holidays are over there will probably be a launch of actual product early spring. We typically get notified of new brands/models coming on board late winter/early spring.

 

Cool. Thanks

p.s. If it's not too much trouble, the RP05's have a really nice sheen to it and is labeled "bright silver" on the site, so are the RP03's, but those look rather gray-ish. Can you confirm if that is true? I really like the RP05's, but it seems they're not offered for the 37. Thank you.

 

My first time here and I don t know much about tires I'm planning to buy tires but I'm debating If I should get 255 in the back or 245 my rims are size 20 and I had only 245 all four tires.what is the positive and negative size of that? Would too wide tire touch the inside of the body with weight. My ride is is a coupe thanx

What's your wheel width?

 

The one's we have left, which are being discontinued for $299 ea, are the speical brillian coat. It's almost as if you blew carbon into the silver paint. Sort of a darker tint to it. The ones for $474 are standard silver.

What size are the wheels?

 

Thank you, Neal. I'm seeing the $474 in 19s (RP05), but don't see either prices for the 18s. I guess y'all are sold out.

 

Nevermind, I should just search more.

 

Neal,
I just moved to the seattle and everett area...here in Washington.
Im looking to get some snow tires for this winter, and was looking at a few brands like.. Bridgestone Blizzak, Continental ExtremeWinterContact, or the Michelin X-Ice .... Which one do you perfer? Tire sizes will be 235/35/19 (2ea.) and 255/40/19 (2ea.) and how much shipped?

 

Neal,

My 08 G35x sedan is in need of new tires. I'm not sure what brand factory tires are currently on the car. Here's what's important to me in a tire. Please make a recommendation.

In order of importance:

#1 Price
#2 Comfortable ride in warm and cold (all-season tire)
#3 good traction in snow (Wisconsin winters)
#4 reasonably good wear
#5 not too loud
#6 Performance off the line and top speed are UNIMPORTANT
#7 I'm not married to any particular brand, but I would like to get a tire with a reasonably good reputation and warranty.

Thanks! I appreciate your advice.

Michael

 

the side of the rims are 20 , i have 245 35 right now

 

2- F 225/45-18
2- R 255/45-18

4 Continental ExtremeContact DWS (All season) shipped to 22042.

Welcome to the boards!

 

Only option I show in a matched set are the Blizzak LM60's. Great tire to have, but are you sure about those sizes? Seem way off for an 06 G. Will need zip code for ship total.

Probably your best bet there would be Kumho's LX Platinum. V rated so it handles well, touring all season based so rides comfortable and works winters well, and comes in at a lower price point. Sold a lot of them for G's with good results.

Still need to know the wheel width to see how wide you can go.

Thanks!

Full set shipped would run $696.77, however, the fronts are on a horrid backorder at this point. A few weeks out minimum.

 

Zipcode 98208

 

Only ones in that combo are the LM60's. A full set would run $1,081.73
