Need help with rims!

Hey guys I'm looking to get a nice set of rims for not too expensive. I would like to get either a gunmetal color or maybe like a aluminum look, preferably gunmetal. Should I get 18s or 19s? If you could link me to some nice rims I'd appreciate it. I have an 03 Silver G35 coupe. Thanks!

I'd say start with a set of OEM Rays until you save up for a quality set. The Rays are forged and can be had with tires for ~$800. Paint them gunmetal and you'd have a slick looking G. If your price range is a bit higher check out Enkei, they make most of the stock wheels and are very well known for quality work.
Avoid brands like XXR, Avid, STR...the price is enticing but not worth the cheaply made product...wheels and tires is the not the area you want to cheap out on as it's the only thing connecting you to the road.
Also, from now on please stop saying "rims" in the place of "wheels".

Can we get a few pics of your ride? What are your specs? lowered? if so how far and on what? OEM rays are pretty good looking wheels for the price. and powder coating will get you the color your looking for

Avid's yes, but XXR's really aren't that bad. I ran a set of 968's on my last ride and they looked very clean and neat. not sloppy or cheap, the 2-piece lip lined up perfectly on every wheel. Yes they are a "Knockoff" brand, but they are a good Knockoff brand. I ran 4.5 degrees of negative camber and never had flexing issues or anything. A+ for price and quality.
