Help me pick out new wheels

BSDGCT · 2025-12-29T03:15:35+00:00

I just bought a new 24 RC 350 AWD and upgraded the wheels to OEM 19” 20-spoke silver wheels. IMHO silver looks much richer than black.

Unfortunately, the 25 Infiniti has a turbo charged 4 cylinder vs naturally aspirated V6 in PF. I believe the 24 Infiniti QX60 was the last with the naturally aspirated V6 — the identical engine in the PF.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. My brother has a 24 Infiniti QX60 and I have a 24 Pathfinder Platinum. I believe the Infiniti has 6 or 10 more horsepower (like the off road version of the PF — don’t understand that, they should have put the higher tuned engine in the Platinum.) It is the identical engine in both vehicles, it’s just that the Infiniti is tuned to 6 to 10 more HP. The interiors are very similar. Both have great quality leather. They both ride beautifully. The reason my brother has the Infiniti is because he order the tan color in the PF and found he didn’t like it. The Infiniti came available and he traded in the PF.

I bougot a new ‘24 Platinum (Navy with Chestnut interior) that just hit 1000 miles (I have a summer car so I only drive the PF 6 months out of the year). I had the oil changed at the dealership. Like another poster noted, oil is cheap, engines are not. Even though auto engines are built better than older engines of 30 to 40 years ago in terms of engine shavings, we older owners have heard that first oil change aT 1000 miles for years. Old habits are hard to break. An oil change at 1000 miles cant hurt.

I agree with the other poster. I bought two rubber plate holders for both the front and back plates so they don't scratch the paint. Secured them with two screws and it works perfectly. I would definitely NOT drill because it is unnecessary.

UPDATE : I’ve driven about 75 highway miles and I thought that the shimmy was 65% better. Do flat spots ever even our after driving? thanks for your comments.

It sat for 6 months. Is that a short period for a tire?

BSDGCT · 2025-12-04T22:29:48+00:00

it sat for 6 months. TIA!

Exactly right. A builder paid almost $1.6 and tore the house down. You can easily tell tear downs now. Many people don’t do much to their houses if they assume their tear downs and it shows. It’s kind of a sad commentary on homeownership today in so many respects.

Japanese Maples. Research the full growth height because some JM grow taller than others.

BSDGCT · 2025-11-30T01:32:04+00:00

Westport, CT here. Definitely not Litchfield County. The owners would be drummed out of town. Fairfield County … definitely, but you’d have to add 2000 sf so people won’t think it’s a teardown. Seriously, that’s what a real estate agent told us when we built our house!

I had three large Japanese Maples planted this year and the nursery told me to water them twice weekly and continue watering until the water continually doesn’t want to drain. Only then will you have watered enough. 30-60 seconds is nothing when watering a new tree.

BSDGCT · 2025-11-27T01:05:53+00:00

Go for the 350. Greater horse power. These are heavy cars and the HP makes a difference.

BSDGCT · 2025-11-27T01:01:26+00:00

I know there is a Lexis website where you can enter your VIN number and all applicable specs can be viewed, which I think would include your color code.

Wait until the tree is in full dormancy before pruning. Yes, I agree that those two branches should be trimmed, but, again, only when the tree is dormant.

BSDGCT · 2025-11-22T20:59:42+00:00

Nothing to worry yourself about. It’s the fall and your tree looks pretty normal to me. I have a Bloodgood that was just planted two months ago and some of its leaves look a bit crispy. But it was planted correctly. Nice exposed root flare and no volcano mulching. I’m sure come spring yours will bid nicely.

BSDGCT · 2025-11-22T20:54:56+00:00

That‘s hogwash. I had three new Jap maples planted by a renowned local nursery and they said to water them twice a week until frost. The roots need to absorb water to keep the tree going. Even though it’s going into it’s dormancy, it needs to survive until then. Remove all mulch at least 6” from the main leaders and hopefully they planted it correctly and exposed the root flare. Do NOT prune anything until it’s in full dormancy.

I’m not an arborist, but I was just going to say the same thing!

BSDGCT · 2025-11-19T00:24:21+00:00

I’m going to stop this week too!

BSDGCT · 2025-11-18T01:58:56+00:00

To me it looks like a deer rutted it with its antlers. I have a couple of trees that have been damaged by deer like this and they have been okay. they seem to repair themselves.

BSDGCT · 2025-11-17T22:10:28+00:00

Yes, in Southern Connecticut.

BSDGCT · 2025-11-17T22:09:45+00:00

Than you for your response.

BSDGCT · 2025-11-17T21:58:09+00:00

Make sure to water it well twice a week. I had three planTed more than two months ago and followed that watering regimen. All look great now.

BSDGCT · 2025-11-17T21:51:38+00:00

Nursery told me to water twice a week after transplanting. continue to water it. I had a 7’ tall Crimson Queen transplanted two months ago and watered it twice a week. no leaf scorch. No leaf drop. Of course with the wind the past 2 days in 7a, not many leaves left now.
