buying new wheels help

I have never boughten a set of aftermarket wheels before so i know absolutely nothing about it. Ive been searching alot about it and i still dont understand what offset/size would look good on my car. I have a 05 Lakeshore Coupe with the 19" inch premium wheel package....I like the mesh style rims..so far the wheels ive found in the price range im looking for are the Axis pentagons...any suggestions on size/offset?

take a look @ Forgestar's F14's, great quality, light weight and EXTREMELY reasonable pricing.

........Those wheels look alright on a sedan but they don't work for a coupe! For nice wheels and a lots of options check out our MARKETPLACE under vendor wheels and stick with the 19". Being vendors here they'll give you good prices and the right off-sets which should be in the mid to low 20s....Good Luck!

yea dont think they would look too good on my coupe...well the thing is my brother has a buddy who can pretty much get any rims at cost...ive read around that my stock rims at 19x8 in the front and 19x18.5 in the back....i really wish to re use my tires since they still have alot of life in them...does that mean i have to buy wheels those exact size?

You could buy 19X9F & 19X10R and use the 245s on the front needing only to buy 275s for the back side. Don't get stuck not buying the right size rims for your coupe because the cost of 2 tires! Trust me we've all made those kinda mistakes and disliked what we've bought shortly after.... Oh yea, beautiful coupe!

........OMG I'm so sorry but my name isn't dick or even richard! I suppose you don't like your opinions laughed at but those wheels in any color would look like **** on his lakeshore coupe. His OE 19" wheels look way better than those! He needs a fat polished lip on his wheels to set off that beautiful lakeshore paint along with GM or Polished centers....not black!
Gary(dick) lol

i never said he should go w/black, that was just an example of the wheels on a coupe. not everyone is into fat lips, to me non-step-lips are "Eh..." he said mesh, well guess what? i posted some mesh. no need to bash my opinion, it doesn't make urs any better. oh, and make sure to come see me at the Riverside meet

go to "rimtuck.com" look for infinity g35 and click "data sheet" youll see a ****load of g35's with different wheels and so forth. you like a picture that you see..... you can write down the sizes and offsets and order a design you like with those specifications. hope this helps

The Volk SF Winnings like mine would look great on your lakeshore blue coupe! You might even be able to find a set used on our MARKETPLACE at a decent price then you could have the centers powder coated what ever you like or polished. I ended up having the clear taken off mine, after Mothers and I do our thing the lips look like chrome....
