Help me Decide on wheels! 19" Rays OR XXR 521 black?
Hey guys so I'm really torn trying to decide which wheels to buy for my 2005 G35 Coupe (SS, Serengeti Sand color). I've researched a ton and I know what some people say about XXR rims being not the greatest quality, and the thread of the car with the supposed horrible damage only going 30mph.
I know the Ray's would be the better option performance wise by FAR so I'm leaning towards them but I do like the look of the XXR slightly more.
Anyhow,
I found a pretty damn good deal on a set of OEM 19" Forged Ray's WITH tires - Bridgestone Potenzas, 245/40/19 rear, 225/40/19 front. 9/32nds on 2 and 4/32nds on the other two of tread left. Wheels are mint aside from minor rash on 1. Would get them for $475.
The XXR 521 I really like the look of on my color car... I would either go with 18"x8.5 front 18"x10 rear, or 20". Not sure if I would go flat or gloss black either. The only thing holding me back on these is the deal I found on the Rays... these would be like $630 for 18s or around 800 for 20s, just the rims.
So which ones do you guys like better looks wise, and which would you choose with my color car? Car is stock ride height atm.
Here are a few example pictures of what each would look like with my car. The XXR pic is one of the mods cars here actually and I love the way it looks. This is pretty much my exact car minus the spoiler atm. The rays look great on this color.... This isnt SS but a close comparison, the XXRs Look amazing on his car. These are the 20 inch flat black.
Color is a choice...which setup do you prefer? In my opinion, the money spent on quality depends on what you will be using it for. If it’s a simple daily driver, choose whichever you like the most.

Yep it's a daily driver, pretty much the usual full bolt ons intake and exhaust now getting it looking good with some wheels and medium window tint.
I was leaning toward the 18" xxr 521 but I'm a little worried they might look small, but I was also worried if I went with the 20" it would rub and/or negatively impact ride quality and acceleration alot...

Tire choice is important to both of those concerns..
