looks like a great project. hopefully the different approach will keep the cost down too. as for the wheels, i love that design and chrome always looks good on black. and you can never go wrong with Fuchs on a Ghia even if overdone. personally with the way you are headed with the car though, i would consider going 5x100 and gain MANY wheel options.

Thanks Zen.
Yes, I am sad about ditching the 996, but unfortunately I had a career
change in March, and my new job requires about 75 - 150 miles per day
in driving. I tried it in the Porsche for the first month. It wasnt very
comfortable, nor did it prove reliable. So I decided I'd better get a newer
Jap car and having had a 94 Nissan 300Z previously, I decided on an
Infiniti G35 Coupe. Drives like a Z, but has more creature comforts
I love Chrome on black as well. As far as the Fuchs go, I did consider using
16 x 6 & 16 x 7 (In Chrome of Course) as an alternative to the Boxster
wheels, but I really would like to do something a little different then every
other Ghia out there even though I love the look of Fuchs on a Ghia
As far as running 5 x 100, that would be great if I didnt already have brakes.
Yes, i plan on keeping the project costs down on this one. I dont want
to have so much money tied up into one project. I've got my eye on a really
clean 67 Sunroof Notch & also want a 75 Super to do a Kafer Style Car. Now
only if my 67 Beetle would sell, I'd have some more capital
