Actually looks better than I expected. It's lowered perfectly.

However, it's virtually un-drivable. At least in a practical sense.

I refuse to understand what the hell is people obsession with these stupid huge rims and rubber band tires. Instantly makes any car look ghetto.

Looks like a JDM Nissan Fuga. I guess VIP still lives on...

Beautiful car. Thanks for sharing. This is the first modified current generation M (Infiniti) that I have seen.

+1, and it makes the rotors look smaller too

But I gotta admit, I think this car looks pretty badass overall. I hope the next GS has some sack...

One thing I like about Infiniti, is that they actually found the grill they like. Lexus grills are all over the place

Why does everyone admire BMW? The new one's do NOT look good. This Infinity looks much better than those. Not the wheels though. 20's should do fine with a bit more tire. the lip on these things does not go either. too much of it. there's no silver on the car whatsoever except the wheels? That's uncoordinated. That said I like the shape of the new M's

Car is too saggy and soft to be sporty. Adding wheels does little to help.
