New to the forums G37s Coupe

Hello everyone,

I am from San Antonio, Tx and I recently purchased a g37s coupe about 2 months ago from a dealer in Austin, Tx.

During the Black Friday, Fortune Auto coilovers had an offer I did not want to pass up.

Shortly after ordering the coilovers I picked up a set of BMW style 95 wheels that I sanded down and repainted a nice copper color. ( 19x9f 19x10r )

Glad to be a part of these forum
Hope you guys enjoy

BMW Style 95 wheels re-drilled to fit 5x114.3 (Before paint)

Fortune Auto 500 series // Wheels after paint.



Before.


Now. (Dec. 16, 2015)

Well damn. She's low.
Nice pics. Love Alpina wheels. Never thought I'd see them on a G. Nice intro and post. Is that copper metalizer on the bare wheel? Any difficulty in getting the 95s redrilled?

I bought the wheels used from someone who lived in California, before he moved he had them redrilled at VR wheels, and no the paint color is "Aged Copper". Only difficulty I ran into was the front wheels not being able to clear the giant brakes! I had to pick up a 25mm spacer locally because I wanted my wheels on ASAP, the spacer was too thick and my tire was rubbing against the fender, nothing a little floor jack, magazines and heat can't fix

Very nice. I had a set of 95's that were on my old Accord. I ran into the same clearance issue with the brakes on my G so I ended up selling them. I didn't want to run super stretched tires at that time. Not too bad looking.

This could be a lighting effect/atmospheric sorcery, but is that the natural color of your windows?
