Question Advice on Rims

Hey everyone. I'm looking for some rims and I'm stuck on what to get. My friend is selling his rims that were on his car for a month and I'm debating if I should buy them. Would these look good on the G coupe? Is there anything else similar or better than these?



Modular Performance
19x8 +35 in front
19x10+35 in rear

Goodyear GDS3 in 245/35/19 and 275/35/19

This how my car looks as of now.

I'd throw some spacers on your OEM 19s instead of buying those wheels, maybe get them powdercoated gunmetal if you want to switch it up a little bit.

Hey Endless, if the price is right they'd be hard to pass up....

He's selling them to me for $500, that's why I'm thinking about buying them this week. can anyone photoshop them on my car for me? Or is there anyone on the board with similar rims on their car?

those wheels are ok, but i would save more money and get some really nice looking wheels

remember that wheels make or break the look of the car, so why not do it right the first time?

Didn't want to say it in my first post, but yeah. The Rays 19s are really good wheels to begin with, better than 90% of the trash out there. And great looking too. With some 20mm spacers I'd rock them in place of Volks and pocket the money for something else; that's exactly what I would've done but I don't have the sports package so I have the OEM 17s I save for winter.

It really doesn't make sense to get anything other than Volk, Work, Nismo, or another high end wheel because otherwise you'd be paying to downgrade.

I say buy them, rock them for a little while then sell them for more, $500 is a good deal.

Maybe get the face painted bronze or gunmetal?
