That's nice as hell...

 

Sweet ride. Hopefully I will sell my 350z soon, and start modding a G35 coupe.

 

Did you have to roll your fenders? Those look sick for sure.

 

I've seen a G35c just like that at my gym.... Do you work out at LA Fitness?

 

Bad-assed

 

tooner:

no rolling, no rubbing, no scraping. probably because it isn't slammed. i guess i got lucky.

erock:

i definitely work out at LA Fitness on clairemont mesa. i guess you have the black Z that i have seen on a regular basis? the one i saw had stock wheels on it, however. small world.

thanks for the compliments guys!!

Chad

 

you car looks insane, by far the nicest setup ive seen on a g35 yet.
Keep up the good work.

 

that looks totally SICK! I am ordering my 20" iForged Swifts this week w/ gold face ... can't wait!

 

what's the weight difference, and speedo error??

they look fantastic, and the lip on the rears is D E E P.... as hell...

nice work!

 

i forgot to ask, are you still running the oem brakepads?? i wonder if they make it very tough on these intricate wheels........

 

Protocav,

Awesome wheels on the G.
What color/ shade/ code did you have the inner parts painted? Is it powder coated matte or glossed?

I might have to roll by LA fitness on Clairemont sometime just to catch a glimpse of your wheels in person!

So if you ever see a Silverstone Z just rolling by slowly one day....don't be alarmed.

 

esemes:

thanks for the compliments!! these wheels are heavy...period. i was really upset about it when i weighed them, but forgot about it immediately when i put them on. even with the toyo's, i picked up 7 pounds each in the front, and 8.5 pounds each in the rear. i have hawk hps pads, and i made sure to switch those out before i put the wheels on. i now get no brake dust at all.

350zephyr:

the wheels are powdercoated gloss gunmetal. this is a factory color from IForged, and i ordered them like that.

if you aren't busy on tuesday nights (including this tuesday 4/20) , a group of G35's meet in the Kmart parking lot on the corner of Clairemont mesa and Convoy at 8:00pm sharp. we then head to fusion cafe for socaleuro's weekly meet. tons of different types of cars (including Z's), and a bunch of nice people. we would love to have you cruise with us.

Chad

 

Thanks for the invite...

I know exactly where you're talking about. I've actually been to a couple of those Socaleuro meet's at Fusion cafe. One my buds from Europrojects frequents these when he's down here in San Diego. The cafe folks/ owners/ workers are nice people.

I never knew they met up with other JDM enthusiasts. I might roll by depending on if the studies permits. Hope you guys don't mind having a Z33 at your G meet.

Might roll by on tuesday.
Hope to catch you there.

I knew it . Anyway, yea I was stock up until 2 weeks ago. I've always admired you're car, wanted to get an up close and personal look at your car but didn't want to make anyone think I was up to something. Very clean G.

 

Where did you order them from and how mich was the package? BTW, Your car looks awesome!

 

Your car looks great. Those wheels look like fun to wash. Much better pics than you posted on G35 driver a while ago.

 

i ordered directly through IForged when they had the group buy a few months ago. the package with tires was just over 4K.

the wheels aren't too bad to wash (stock was certainly easier), and the color hides a lot of dirt. i have admired your car too joe...very nice setup and stance. nice bumper too.

anyone who is in the SD area, please feel free to cruise to K-mart (corner of Clairemont Mesa & Convoy) at 8:00pm every tuesday for the socal euro meet.
