Hey Todd, this reminds me, I'm gonna go pick up a box of those cookies for your wife this weekend. Also, I got a replacment stock wheel from octagon, so I'll ship my old cracked one to you if you still want it.

Yes Mike I would still like your cracked wheel. Can you bring it along to the meet? If not, you've got my address. Ship it and tell me what the cost was.
How has replacing the 17" with stock wheels effected your vibration? Maybe I missed the thread, been busy lately. For those that care, heres a shot of the new G. I also put this and one other in my locker. Todd (neighbors still trying to figure out why I keep buying these damn foreign cars!)

Very nice to drive!
260hp/260 ft-lbs of torque through the 5 speed automatic transmission driving a 3400 lb car translates into some nice acceleration. Still breaking it in saw keeping the revs down for awhile.
The handling is very nice. You sit up higher than in the SVX and obviously there is much more interior space. This platform uses aluminum suspension members for light weight and rigidity and uses shock absorbers instead of McPherson struts. Complex arrangement but it feels tight yet rides very smooth. We opted not to get the "Sport" package due to Michigan roads. It is stiffer and uses different tire compounds, though the same size. I also liked the 6 spoke wheels better than the 5 spokes on the Sport pkg. As this platform is the basis for the 350Z, the G35 Coupe, and the Skyline, I figured Nissan would have done it right and I truly believe this is going to be a great long-term car. We'll see how time and miles treat her.
