awesome man, i'll check them out tonight where the pics won't be BLOCKED, a-nnoooooooooooying!

i can't imagine it's anything too bad; her oem wheels we got used and they are scratched up a bit. this is an exciting little trade! but yes, that drive DOES suck.

ah no big deal. i can come to your place. or you tell me...if it works to meet SOMEWHERE in houston, like on the west side, or somewhere easier for both of us. i have no idea, like i said for some reason that city remains a complete maze to me!

hey i know they're expensive, but you could get those rotory logo mazda center caps. not the oe ones, but the other ones they sell. if they fit, that'd look wicked.

ha ha, i love it...any other forum would probably delete all this crap and say "guys pm each other already" lulz.

so yeah that'd be sweet to take some pics. i wasn't going to take my 8 though b/c riding back w/ 4 wheels and tires will make my rear wheels rub i think (i still need to get them pulled out some, even w/ the roll). but we'll see. pics of our 8's would be fun

Are these both front and rear G35 wheels? Or did you put the fronts all around/the rears all around? Might sound like a stupid question but the offset looks the same front and rear and I don't know if they are the same of the G35.

theyre both front and rear from a g35 and your right the offset is +30 all around and it is that way on the g35 coupe too the 19" rays the g35 has as optional have different offsets and sizes but these ones are the same even on the g35

Oh I see...do you have clearance issues on the rear? A friend of mine put after market wheels on his G and his OEM wheels are 8x18 front and 8.5x18 on the rear, same wheel design as yours, still with +30 offset. I'm worried the rears wont clear at 8.5x18 +30 offset, you think they would be problematic?

yes sir ... i just swapped to 225s yesterday and it took care of the rubbing completely but in the future i will be going with 245/35 or 40 instead of 225/45 that should also cause no rubbing issues
