Yeah your car is really nice to look at but prolly not very nice to drive. You gotta get that happy medium between aggresive and practical. I dont know if this is your only car or not but i cant imagine driving that everyday with that much camber. You tires will be so loud in no time. Now dont get me wrong it looks sick for sure but just seems stressful on a day to day basis.

That's what I was thinking. The OP's car seems to have lost its functionality.

But hey it looks cool.

If you can afford to change tires every 5K miles than more power to you.

Wheels are sick.

Also where did you get your AME's?? I was looking around for a dealer but didnt see one. I would also like AME's in the future. Thanks

Your car is making me think maybe I wouldn't mind having a G35 in the garage after all. Sweet.

Honestly, I liked the time attacks more on your car. It looked like all business and mean as hell. Now with the bigger wheel size, aggresive offsets and big lips... it looks like its more of a show car. But if that's the direction you're going, then more power to you. AME's look great but the color scheme on the TA's looked the best on your car.

I like I like. Good luck with that much camber tho! You fit your finger in the gap, that means there is enough room to reduce the negative camber just a bit, and it wouldn't hurt to have the rims pokin out the sides a little more, might make it look even more flush.

i have to drive the car alot slower. One of the main reasons i did this is because i cant afford to get any more tickets. If i get one more i lose my lic for a year. so i decided to get big a$$ wheels and make it hard to drive fast. anyone that has a s/c or TT knows its hard to keep the foot from being heavy. so i can see alot of points that you guys bring up. I knew tires would wear out fast but I am not worried about it. i really enjoy having this look so i will stick with it until i get bored or annoyed.
jock/prop factor out weights alot of the cons though. thanks again for the good and bad comments always open to comments. Thats how we all grow.

You said exactly how I felt... all business w/ the boost + TEs + all blacked out..

More showy now, especially w/ the nasty camber and DUBS

I'm sure you'll still have a heavy foot.. haha, but either way.. the ladies will jock this much more than the TEs... TEs to ladies are like.. "so you paid 3-4grand for these?"
now you're pimpin.

I still prefer the TEs though.
