I know... I'm with you all on that. That front wheel looks like my 4Runner. Wheels took priority when the tires were bald enough that Toyo wouldn't rotate them. Drop is next. (along with cal paint and maybe even painting the lic plate plugs. 8))

Jeff, you're funny. We've been to two Elmhurst meets... didja think I drove in from CA? lol

Thanks for the tips Milt. If I can drum up that many dumb questions about wheels, wait until I'm doing the drop!

You could've gotten 4 front rims so their the same size....
Still looks good man.
I like "PXLpainter" G35 rims on his Gen2 better, but IMO.

I agree, the G35 rims look nice too. I'm thinking on trading my rims for some guy on craigslist who has chrome G35 rims for only $350. They need tires, but still! That's the same price (with tires) that I got my rims for, lol!

Am I thinking of someone else? You're the one that came to Hooters last year but couldn't make it to the show, no? I have an apathy disorder that makes it hard to keep the screen names and the real names together. White Gen1?

That was a fall back if the rears didn't fit. Big bucks tho. And I'm guessing I'll never get the tire pressure alert to stay off. But I haven't done a reset to see if it comes back.

Yeah Mike - you're gonna wish you could rotate your tires easier in a couple months! ;)

I can just do a wheel swap in my garage when its needed... plus I keep a full-size spare on a G35 rim in the trunk. Extra weight but if I'm half-way to LV or NorCal and get a flat, I can still arrive in style! :up: :)

I do wish I had 19's instead of 18's though... yours will look great after a drop! ;)

Why? Just for cosmetic reasons?

All of the wheel recommendations that I read say to keep the wheel small for performance. The whole "unsprung weight" thing. The bigger the wheel, the worse the performance.
