Default Another oem rim alternative for those with big brakes

I may get flamed here but some people asked me to send pics of the infiniti rim on a GS. I picked up a set pretty cheap, to use as an emergency, for spares and since it clears the big brakes easily I thought this may be an alternative for some.

I remember that I started this thread.

No I haven't lost my mind. If I do, someone here is gonna be the lucky owner of some 20"Equips. LOL

I don't think they look bad. now if they had infinit emblems on them,that would be week. Is the hub bore the same as oem Lex wheels. what are they, 18s?

damn they look pretty darn good in fact!!!! maybe i should pick up a set, one for my gs and one for my sc!!!!

if the offset is 18x8 +35, that's perfect fit for the gs front! awesome!!!! and the bore of the infiniti is the same as lexus i believe

I remember several thread where members here ragged on someone with G35 wheels on a GS. Now that Ricky posted up pics....they dont look too bad.
