Original look not found...not a fan of TSW wheels at all.

Personally I'd go w/ some Dunlop tires

Wheel/tire choice is really dependant on your budget. I typically set a high budget on wheels and tires. More expensive wheels = more exclusivity. 3 piece w/ custom finish FTW!

id say get the rays, and paint the inside black. Will be classy, yet original.

Btw Im selling a set of rays with almost brand new toyo T1R's : https://g35driver.com/forums/19-inch...new-tires.html

Here is a pic of them painted black:



But i would leave the lip the way it was, and just paint the spokes.

what im worried about is either A. cracking or denting lip or rim and B. getting a crappy rim.....i like Tenzos...but they got that universal fit=gay=more chances of rim getting stolen haha.....i mean price wise TSW and Tenzo are nearly the same

I wouldnt worry about cracking, especially if you pay attention to whats on the road ahead of you.

i'd get Tenzo's over TSW's anyday...i donno why people talk so much trash about Tenzo wheels, I personally have never seen one break or heard a story about one breaking/cracking/bending/etc!!!

nothing wrong with the Tenzo's the second tsw wheels is much better than the first. the OEM's are cool, but the fitment isnt as nice as what you can get with the aftermarket options.

for what i perceive to be your price range, the Tenzo has some of the better designs. A site sponsor also has some good deals on them, I like the GF-7, but the offsets aren't as good as the newer wheels they have.

Also look at the Forgestar or Rota 19" wheels in the marketplace, they're seriously only $200-$300 more than the Tenzo wheels.
my only other suggestion is dont get gun-metal, I personally dont like how close it is to the DG paint color...black, silver, chrome or gold
