Usually stocks come with themm. check your tire dimensions too

Check to see if your tire sizes are the same between the front set and the rear set. If they are, you have a staggered setup. Also, NOBODY escapes the lobster claws!!! Powder coating them won't help. I you want the sporty look, you'll have to drop the car and get new rims, otherwise it's not worth PCing them. I got rid of mine within the first 3 months and gave them to my bro for his TP camry. If you don't want to drop, I would recomend the lexus ISP wheels. Those are pretty dope.

Leave them as is. Save up and go aftermarket.

thanks guys! i was thinking about the g37S wheels.. they are hawt lol

SpecLexus

Do they have the same bolt pattern? Do it, they're are pretty smokin...19" version?

alan003

yep. I think nissan/infiniti and toyota/lexus have the same bolt pattern. and it is the 19" staggered setup seen in G37 S coupes!

add info: maybe I will powder coat the g37s wheels black and be even hotter lol

ChrISF

get the illusion that "powdercoating wheels black would make them look better" out of your head!

get some volks instead.

black on TP is not that hawt IMO, especially when its the entire wheel

black on tp looks horrible man, gunmetal on silver looks better.
