The closest I can get for you is to look through the Smoky Granite Mica thread. In the last couple of months there was a guy in Houston with Rays G35 wheels and coilovers. Can't remember if he had the GFX kit or not.

if i put these on an AWD what tire size should i run? trying to keep all 4 tires the same size, mayb 235/35/19 all around or would that be too much of a stretch on the rear?

It wouldn't be a stretch, they're only a half inch wider in the rears. You may rub in the front if you're lowered with 235s

Wow those wheels really look sick on the car. Is there anyway to keep the Lexus symbol on the rim?

you'd have to find a way to mock-up your own lexus-badged center caps.

closest i could come was blank center caps on ebay in place of the infiniti center caps.

Am I the only one who's not a huge fan? Seems to me like the Genesis wheels look better.
