Dude, that chop hurts to look at. Go into edit, tranform and skew (assuming yer using photoshop) to shape the wheels right bro!

Let me know if you need any help. All seriousness...I'm more than happy to do what I can. None of us get better unless other people show us the way.

I found this old shot of 2003z's rides. The G35 in this picture appears to have the Track rims. Looks sweet to me.

Hopefully, he'll post some more closeup pictures for you when he gets back.

Thanks guys. What do you think vic, Te-37's or track wheels? I'm trying to get something different and it seems like everyone has either Te-37's or Le-37t's

I'm also thinking about selling my stocks to Andy B.

You already know what I think. The only reason to use Track wheels is to retain your current tires. Nismos, Volks or whatever will give you wider wheels for wider tires for better handling, and will look better doing it.

I agree somewhat with lowrider. If money is a concern, you can save some by getting some 18" Track rims and using your tires.

If money is not as much of a concern, the 19" TE-37's or LE37's will look awesome with some wide tires. I think the LE's are the ones that come with a polished lip and since I'm a lip guy, I would choose them but that's a matter of preference. I also have seen some TE's with inverted face for the rears which look nice also.

No matter what you go with (Track, TE-37's, LE37's) you can't go wrong. I think they all look good.

Remember that even though you see TE's and LE's on cars on this forum, in all the meets I went to in the northeast this year I must've seen over 150 different Z's or G35's and out of those I can only recall 2 or 3 that had these wheels.

I disagree. Of course it is a matter of opinion but i get lots of compliments on my track model. Half of these are just compliments on the wheels. Most people dont believe that the wheels came witht the car.

One thing that makes these wheels look better is putting a lower profile tire on. Works for me!!!

However IMO you are right in one respect.... Track wheels do not belong on a G35!!! Just like TE37s do not belong on a G35.

They work on a car with smooth rounded lines. The G is sharper and more angular and TE37s and track wheels just wont work on this model!

My 1cent.
