Need help picking out wheels

I have an 05 athens blue coupe. I REALLY want to get some wheels soon, but I just dont think anything looks good on AB. Im thinking about just getting some stock 19in rays. My current wheels are some chrome 17s that I really dont like. Heres a very bad pic of my car



I like the oem rays



And im starting to like the black/chrome lip craze..



Any other suggestions? And whats your opinions on these rims ive shown?

DOMO

well i just bought some 3 piece Modulare M5 wheels from a guy and they were on an AB. i think they look good, and i really liked the color combo with your car color and the wheels color. plus it matters whta kinda price range u have.

I have an Athens Blue coupe with the 19" Forged Rays (OEM). I always liked how they looked. Gives the car a classy look in my opinion. If you want more of a "sport" look, the black rims in your pic above are nice. For my winter tires, I went with a dark gray (17"), which looks blue sometimes in certain shades of light. Ever since I put them on, my friends have been telling me that it makes the car look racier/sporty.

Some 19" Rays on Ebay Motors:

Forget the first link.......these are cheaper:

Someone actually sold them here for $800:

It'll be tough to get them for less than $1000, but if you can find them, I believe that's a great price. There were wheels sold on the G35Driver forums for $650, but they had a lot of curb rash.

Find out if this guy sold this set:
https://g35driver.com/forums/19-inch...s-arizona.html

From the pics, looks like there is some curb rash on 1 or 2 of the tires. Most probably the front ones.

The OEM Rays look nice, do they make those in an all black version?

Good deal. Yeah, I just noticed that the other post (Arizona) didn't include the TPMS sensors installed.

Yeah but current wheels have TPMS but i didnt want the hassle of changing them out to the new wheels..

Once I install these wheels do I need to goto the dealer to have the TPMS programmed to my car?
