^^ I think the stock grill would make it too shiny (hence why I switched). I'm actually planning on doing away with a few more chrome parts.

Looks very nice to me. If I was going with XIX that would be the model (x17) I would choose.

I was just in Chicago a last week end. What wheels are you planning on going with?

You left Chicago just in time. It's really hot and humid this week.

I'm still deciding on the wheels. Trying to figure out what I like and what fits the sport package configuration, whether to go with 20" wheels (which means new tires), etc.

I've found several I like: TSW (Nogaro, Catalunya, Jarama), XIS X17, Vossen VVS084, Voxx Ancona. I've looked at Volk but there's nothing I like for the price.

First choice at the moment is the TSW Nogaro but I'm not sure about fitment. They've got 19x9.5 with a 35mm offset which looks like the closest fit but I can't bring them up in Discount Tire's Interactive Wheel System. I'll have to check and see if they're too wide for the OEM tires.

Anyway, second choice is the Voxx Ancona (20") but they're so inexpensive I'm not sure about the quality (and I don't know the company although they do have a web site).

I think with either XIS or Vossen it will be a step up in wheel size.

Decisions, decisions.

There are a few people on the forum with TSW wheels, one might already have the Nogaro mounted. Do a search to find out for sure. I would personally shy away from the Voxx coz I don't think they'd look all that great on our car and there's barely any info on them. Stick with TSW, XIX, Vossen and even Vertini wheels if you're looking a for quality cast wheels. Check out HPautowork.com for G37 sport and non sport specific wheel fitment.

Thanks for the info. I'm still checking to see on the fitment of the Nogaro.

I took a look at the HPAutoworks web site. They seem to offer +1 size on their fitments, which means I would need new tires as well. While I could afford to spend $2500+ on a new set of wheels and tires, I can't really justify it...unless I start thinking about it for too long.
