I am looking to finally give my G the proper wheels to do it justice. I love my car to death, but the stock looks aren't doing it for me. I want to put on some 18-19 inch rim with a nice deep lip (deeper in the back with a mid size lip in the front). After the rims go on I will be putting springs on my car to lower it but my main wheel questions are:

1) Out of the rims I post below which do you like the best?
2) Is there a certain size wheel I need to buy, and does the lip have a exact size it needs to be to fit well with my brake calipers?
3) Do you think chrome or flat black would look best on my desert platinum G35 coupe with 5 limo tint?
4) If you have any other information that will help me please feel free to share!

My first and favorite choice are these Boze Alloys ZE forged rims, but they are a bit more expensive than what I want to spend on rims.

My second choice of rims are also a bit out of my price range, but are the exact look I am going for and they are Raderwerks Noble 3 piece rims.

My third choice in rims are from Raderwerks as well and are one piece rims called M-TEN85's.



Thank you!

I think you should drop first, then wheels.

 

WhosRich I agree that lowering the car will improve stance and looks extremely, but right now I need to buy new tires and want to get new wheels on my car so if I'm going to bump up from 18 inch to 19 inch wheels I won't have to waste my money on tires that won't fit my new wheels... The car will be lowered within weeks after the wheels are installed though for sure!!!

Thanks man

I think you should lower it first so that you can see what size wheel you're comfortable running. Not because it'll make the stock wheels look better.

 

I say #2 or #3 in 19x10 and 19x11 w/ single digit offsets

 

Well I have 18's right now and like them, but I'm jumping to 19's for sure if they're in my price range.

 

Whats your price range?

 

Alright this is where I will sound like a noob unfortunately, but I understand the 19 in those means 19 inch rim but what does the x10 or x11 stand for?
and single digit offsets? Please explain in a bit more detail!

 

Looking to spend "around" $1000 for the set of four, willing to spend a little more or less if I can. The top two are up there because my buddies dad is a wheel wholesaler so he might be able to find those for me! My fingers are crossed!!! You can tell the basic style in rim that I like though, fat lip and that spoke design.

 

LOL

the x10 and x11 are wheel widths

offsets are the back spacing of the wheel.

for example OEM 18s are +30

Aggressive and more flush fitting wheels will have a lower number.

+0 offset means the point where the wheel meets your hub is directly in the center of the wheel.

make sense?

 

The first wheels by BOZE ALLOYS are like $2,000-$3000 for the set of 4, the second wheels the Noble 3 piece by Raderwerks are like $2500 for the set but the third set of wheels are the one piece M-TEN85's by Raderwerks are like $850 for the set.

 

go with the raderwerks with that step lip!

 

I hate to say it, but not really. I know a lot about cars, but with wheels and tires I am lost
sorry mang! It makes more sense, but I don't totally understand.

 

+1

I just looked at the link and those would be SICKNESS

 

erklep,

care to chime in on offsets too?
