zap (JRP), got the ticket at 5 Montclair directly across the street from Cage Aux Sports (near train tracks). Cop was in a black unmarked dodge charger behind fencing - I had no chance to even see him from a distance... didn't see him until he illuminated his red and blue...

Well, the RX-8 rims didn't work, circunference wise they are fine, about 1cm clearance, but the spokes did not clear the calipers, so it's a no go. Too bad because those are really nice ones. Now I have to sell these and the 16" winters and find a complete winter 18" setup.

Washed the car and snapped some pics of my winter setup. Yeah.. looks VERY familiar right? 
Picked up the rims from the G35driver site for a wicked price and slapped on brand new Blizzak LM-25's. Didn't realize that everyone else is going with different size tires front/rear and I went with Tirerack recommended 225/50/18's all around.
Total cost $1350CAD =P
Does anyone if that size will affect the spedometer?
P.S. My sensor light came on pretty much immediately after I installed the rims.

btw i saw a maserati quattroporte outside the royal york hotel in toronto today with the exact same rims & winters on...i guess the BSA's clear everything!
so if anyone else is looking for a used set, try a maserati forum

In fact, a buddy of mine at work has the same rims on his gray 37S as well.

You may want to sell them on www.usedottawa.com - you may even find an 18" set-up while you are at it

ok guys I will start off buy saying I am biased to Michelin's because i used to work building their tires. But let me tell you I have blizacks on my 09 G37S and had Michelin pilot alpins on my 08 G37S. we have snow here now and i will say 100% that the Michelin out performs the blizzacks in snow and ice hands down. Just letting you know my thoughts coming from driving both of these tires. My wife even said she does not like them. I am thinking of selling them and getting Michelins back on as I do drive this car in snow and ice.
