Help me choose some wheels for my Caribbean Blue Coupe!

What's up guys! My name is Brody, from Nashville, TN. New fella here, just picked up my first G35. A Caribbean Blue 6MT Coupe. Car has k-sport coil overs, and some wheels I don't really care for. I have 2,000$ to spend. I'd like a deep lip, fenders are already rolled. Post them up guys!

Buy some OEM 19's for ~$600-1000 and you have the best budget wheel package period.

Definitely get rid of the black. You'll want to stick with silver, gunmetal, or graphite color scheme with that blue. OEM Rays is solid choice on a cheaper budget, easily under 1k including tires.
I'm up in Clarksville and frequent Nashville most weekends so let me know if you need help with anything man

Cheap cast wheels, your roughed up Rays are still better than those.
Every style of wheel they have is a replica of a quality brand wheel...just find the style you want and then search around for a better version, you'll be better off in the long run.

I've never understood why people ask for help choosing things like wheels, it's a personal thing. Look around, see what you like and go from there is my advice.

Look in the marketplace for a used set that you like and are within your budget, then buy them.

Do an image search on Google. There are some pretty bada$$ looking Caribbean Blue G35 coupes that have silver or silver/chrome with a gold face wheels.

Beautiful Coupe Brody!

When spending those big $$ on items like wheels or exhaust systems you need to see/hear them in person! Attend meets/shows in your area and find something you can't live without. Like members posted above the '06 coupe wheels look great but so do the G37 coupe wheels or GT-R wheels and they won't drain your wallet. (much)

Do the 19's OEM Rays bolt on to a 2003 Brembo 6MT or is there modifications needed? What about the 370Z 19 Rays?

The OEM 19s Rays will fit fine no issues.
The 370Z Rays have a front offset of 47 on 19x9 which is HELLASUNK and will require spacers (20-25MM) but the rears will be fine, you may want a spacer in the back to even it all out though

You won't get deep lip wheels for 2000 bux...unless you know the wheel game (rebuilding/rebarreling/etc). But, you can get some nice wheels in the marketplace or get some new knock-offs that everyone will tell you look horrible even though they look like the wheel that they're replicating. Whatever you do, don't go to carID, ebay vendors, xxx.com wheel site. You might want to try vr wheels. They have good used wheels and they can rebuild something for you. With the budget you have, you can put something together that way.

That said, get 3-piece Work Meister's, 19x9.5 +10f 240/35/19 19x11 0r 275/35/19. Neo-chrome lips with a brushed aluminum face. Brushed aluminum wheel cap with blue anodized valve stems. Tires should be Goodyear, Falken, Nexxen, Dunlop, Hankooks or something along those lines. Maybe even a BFGoodrich. Stay away from Nitto's as their sidewalls are extra hard. So are Pirellies.

You're welcome.
