Default Finally installed the enkei's- aka infiniti rims

Took these off my G37 coupe, I REALLY like how they look. The tanabes nf210 were put on today and haven"t settled in yet ,hoping the rear gap dis-appears eventually. Running over spec tires for now, the REO50's are just too good a tire to waist, so will run them down another 10k before swiching to 245/30x19 - 275/30x19 tires. I don't think I even need spacers for this set up, just need to research finding new center caps..lol! anyways here's some pics and let me tell you, like most know, the car looks alot better in person Allright, I've donned my flame suit, lets have it!!

Yea..I know, like I said, I think it will settle about another 1/2 inch in the coming weeks and I need to go down in profile on the tires

Looks ok. FYI, the gap will not disappear on NF210's.

Can you replace the center caps with the Lexus ones?

Although I do agree with yo uthat they will settle,I have yet to see any NF's installed on a 3GS eliminate the gap. Reduce the gap, yes, but not disappear eventually as you're hoping. I have DF's and there is no gap. There was no gap even before 'settling'.
