s14roller: Stock 19" sell for appx $1500-1700 online with tires. Aftermarket forged 19" wheels with decent tires will you at least $3000! That's quite a bit of difference.

KAHBOOM, I assume you are talking about the new 350Z Anniversary edition wheels - (the one that looks like RX-8 wheels) Look up the specs, those are cast wheels and weight more than the G35 19" wheels. IMHO, the stock 19" are very sporty, but the 18" fits the smooth lines of the G35c better.


OEM 19"s are hard to beat in terms of price, performance and styling IMO. One the other hand, stock 18" matches the lines of the car better than the stock 19".

 

I think the OEM 19"'s compliment the G very nicely.

 

Both are great looking wheels but the BIG problem is that they are the same size front and rear. If you look up the side of the car the wheels look exactly the same but if you look at the optional 19's on the M3 the rears look big and are concave looking and very luscious! Rear wheel drive sports cars should have wider wheels in the back. My .02.

 

19's, no contest

 

yup 19s here!

 

19's (poor mans aftermarket rim haha just kidding, I love them)

 

Actually, the wheels in front for the 19s are 8" wide and 8.5" in the rear.

 

Yep I believe the M3's is just a half inch more than the 05 Gs.

 

19s no doubt, one of the best looking OEM wheels out there.

I agree, the rear wheel could be a little wider with a lip on it.

 

+1 on the OEM 19's

 

 

Love the look of the 18" rims, would choose them over the 19" everytime.

 

for the one guy who chose "currently have oem 19's but prefer the oem 18's " do you want to make a swap? i have the 18s and prefer the 19s.
send me a pm

 

I looked at both at dealership and the 19s werent doing anything for me. They really take the sportiness away from the coupe. 19s design do give a more luxury look to them if you are feelin that but Id pick the 18's anytime and everytime over those.

 

But they don't actually look wider. That is the problem.
