No more Gettins in Texas!!

They look killar for sure.

You are going to put a little drop on that thing right?

Still a CL member last time I checked.

I think there are some members that don't have a Lex...maybe not even a car for that matter.

Late.

Get'em Gettins! Here comes the dilemma...chrome or silver...hmm...personally...I think the silver ones look better in the pics...but I suppose it could be different viewing them in person?

Dr. Rick:

Have you seen the volk GT-7 in gunmetal? I'd give that some consideration.

Of the three you showcased, I prefer the PIAA's. Reason? It seems to fit the car's styling and attitude most. The Gettins look great on a dark GS, but for a new style car, I'd like to see something more contemporary (and maybe a little less bling).

Just my .02

Dr. Rick,

Definitely get the PIAA Rozza in Hyper Black.. Just really suits the new G35 perfectly.. Sporty yet elegant with a touch of stealthiness with the Hyper Black finish.. Just my 2 cents!

Feminine viewpoint is the PIAA's/hyper black! Right wheels on the right car.

HyperBlack PIAA's with polished lip. SICK! Besides that the hyperblack will match your car color. Don't go chrome on a G35, its a sports car, not a luxury (IMO Chrome goes on luxury vehicles)

Hey, is that a Datsun?

Best legs for it are concrete blocks, second choice is hyper black, third is stock.

What size are you trying to get? I've seen the G35 with 20's which looks sweet. If you're trying to go with 20's, then the Gettin's would be your choice (can't go wron with chrome or silver/polish on this wheel...it's a personal preference). Plus, you can get the phat 4" lip in the rear with the Gettin's.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the max on the Piaa is 18" or 19".

Good luck and post some pics once you get your wheels!

unfortunately, there is a new player in the game.........iforged. from what i can gather, they are a custom wheel company in the vein of HRE. they are having an incredible GB over at www.my350z.com. these are the wheels that i am looking at...



of course they would be in a custom gun-metal finish (at no charge per the GB deal). if anyone (gs4will, manaray, etc) know anything about iForged, please let me know. details of the GB, can be seen here . thanx again, to everyone........
