Those wheels pictured in dude's picture aren't RE30's, i have the RE30's and yes they are authentic.

And there is no such thing as OEM Ray's for the G that are 9.5" and 10.5".

Maybe he is speaking of the 370Z or GTR wheels

True - Rays have made other wheels for Nissan products, so they may be OEM rays, just not the ones that came on the G35.

That said, I believe the 370Z Rays were narrower that what he's talking about, so maybe we can rule those out.

This would be a lot better if he would just man up and say what the hell they are instead of acting like a shy little girl about it.

Guaranteed those are not the OEM 19" Rays that come on the G.

You may have gotten another type of 19" Rays, but not one that comes preinstalled from the factory.

Curious to see what they look like when you get them...

Back on the original topic, these cars are easily $8k or less now. I remember one of my cars back then, a 94 Celica in that same price range. I bought cheap ebay parts (rims, body kit, exhaust, etc).

For a car under $10k, the owner is not gonna drop the same amount of money as a car worth over $30k. There simply is no point.

Of course there are many members here who spend good money on their mods, but the majority will not drop that kind of dough on a 10+ year old car. Your area (Atlanta) is huge factor too. Go to a more mature or well-off area and you'll see a difference.

If you think the G community is bad, look how even worse/cheaper the older Civic's and Miata's community is...

Why? The OEM rays are totally just 'ok'. They're alright for a stock wheel, but nothing you should spend money on over any nice aftermarket wheel. The fact that they're forged is the best part about them. They're pretty heavy for a forged wheel and I don't really find them that attractive. This is obviously subjective, but they should have put bit bigger of a lip on them or something
