not a fan of the v2 with otherwise stock body. v2 also needs bigger wheel to set it off. eyelids ftl. on a stock body with spacers it would look ok. my rule of thumb, i never spend money on mods when it comes to replacing oem stuff with other oem stuff for the most part.

either keep it and install spacers, or pc it and spacers. Wheels go well with your car, like the setup.

If this is your winter setup, ditch those crappy general tires. They're rated as an all season tire. I've had this tire before and it isn't a very good one. For winter, you really should get a set of winter tires. Don't think snow only, also consider the temps which is just as important.

The wheels look fine. Like everybody said, get some spacers and it will look much better. Not a fan of blacked out tails or the eye lids. They look like cheap autozone stickers to me.

looks clean and the color matches well. i'm assuming this is your winter setup. hopefully you have something more aggressive for summer. and as everyone suggested, get some spacers and ditch the eyelids

the wheels look good
yes you need spacers to make it look better
and i agree to get rid of those eyelids. if you must have eyelids - i am sure there are some that fit better

everyone has pretty much covered, paint, spacers, etc. but I'd ditch the infiniti center caps too, either put some Nissan burgers in there or maybe the "Z" caps from a Z32.

Why remove rice (eyelids) and add rice (mismatched paint, IE Roof)

Don't waste money painting stock wheels, save that money for aftermarket wheels or better mods. Same can actually be said for spacers.

I think you should go in head-first and finish off your body kit this winter. Either Nismo sideskirts (the JDM one with the smaller humps look best IMO) with the bottom portion painted black to match the front lip; I've also seen some guys do Veilside V1 side wings with the Nismo v2 front end. Then Nismo rear add-ons might be a good start.

I would remove the nismo wing and go with the OEM lip spoiler. Maybe get a Stillen roof spoiler if you want to add a little more flare.

Spacers and black powdercoat the Infiniti wheels if you must keep them....but I would personally put that money toward a set of aftermarket wheels to complement your future completed body kit.
